speech on my days during lockdown due to covid 19 (coronavirus)

Answer:
Some can’t wait to go out again, others don’t want to, happy to stay home connected to the outside world only through their computer. Some are worried about the virus and others, instead, are more concerned about the climate crisis.
I consider myself a very sedentary person. Usually, during the school holidays, I tend to stay at home most of the time. Quarantine is not affecting what I would normally do with all this extra free time.
The school has been closed for three weeks. Yesterday, we were told it will be closed for the rest of the school year. Many of my classmates have returned to their countries and so have the teachers. We now do school online from 8.30 am to 2.30 pm on Zoom.
From this experience, I have noticed how we kids often don’t enjoy the simple things we have, such as going out with friends. Now that we can’t, we are realizing the importance of these little things. Surely, when it’s all over, we’ll be more grateful for what we have.
Obviously, I miss my friends and going out, but I get along well with my family and maybe I’ve always been a bit lazy, so adapting wasn’t difficult. Instead of going out with friends, on Saturday nights, I watch movies or series with my family, something nobody had time to do before.
I spend most of my days studying, but I also have virtual meetings with my collective mates and chat with my friends, but physically it is different and I miss that aspect.
At first, it took me a while to realize what was really happening, but hearing the number of deaths on the news or listening to the stories of my uncle, who is a doctor in the Bergamo area – where the virus hit hardest – has frightened me. But I’m quite optimistic: if we all respect the rules, and stay at home we will be able to get out of this situation.
We feel the virus is hitting closer to home and therefore the instinctive reaction of fear is greater. It’s more difficult to realize the damage climate breakdown will bring. The complications caused by the virus are perhaps a consequence of the climate crisis, as studies show the areas most affected are also the most polluted. On the other hand, the lockdown is reducing emissions and thus improving the health of our planet.
This experience made us realize our lives had become too hectic and consumerist, which is why we waited too long before completely blocking the economy. The courage to stop it earlier would have prevented many deaths.
Sometimes I feel the lockdown is an opportunity to rest from the frenzy and to try things I didn’t have time to do before. Other times, I feel tired of living like this – and the fact that I can’t go out drives me crazy. I miss going to school, I miss athletics and seeing my friends, but I also feel lucky because I’m healthy and in a comfortable home. Having lunch with my whole family is new – that was not a daily habit before.
During the day I read and watch TV series. Sometimes I make video calls with my friends, sometimes I draw. We are lucky at least to be able to continue to study and see our classmates and teachers, but there are internet connection problems and distance learning is more difficult.

here is ur answer
The coronavirus outbreak is affecting people across India in different ways. For parents of school-going kids across the country, the experience has been overwhelming and exhausting.
Around mid-March, when several Indian states sprung into action to contain the Covid-19 pandemic, their first step was to shut schools. Initially, the shutdown was meant to be till March 31, but it has now been extended till April 15, when the 21-day national lockdown concludes.
This means that kids, who typically spend between three and seven hours in a structured learning environment away from home, are now stuck indoors for weeks.
“Schools are shut. All out-of-home activities and social interactions have stopped, too. In such times, keeping kids engaged with creative activities that they find interesting is tough,” said Aarti Laxmanan, a corporate communications professional at a Noida-based packaging company. Laxmanan has been working from home while taking care of her daughters aged six and four years.
Quartz spoke with nearly a dozen Indian parents who are in the same boat as Laxmanan to understand how they are managing work-from-home with their kids always around them, sometimes demanding attention subtly and at other times pounding at their laptops to pull them away from work.
