Quarantine

In February 2020 a virus named COVID-19 was detected in America. This led to an

immediate outburst of the closing of factories, school, and many national and state events.

Quarantine was only to last two weeks, for the cleaning of jobs and schools. Now in May,

quarantine has no definitive end. Quarantine has improved society greatly. Quarantine has

improved society by preparing each country in the world for future issues.

To start off, school districts are working on continuing education even though physical

school is not in session. For some school districts, this was proposed as a challenge. In rural area

school districts, many students did not have internet, or they did not have homeschooling

methods, but this did not stop school districts. School districts partnered with internet companies

and supplied laptops. Schools enrolled students in a type of online learning, as well as

encouraging teachers to check in, and “Zoom” with students. This prepares schools for keeping

up with learning even when schools are unable to be open. Such as during a pandemic, or even

just a snow day. Doing this, students who must have consent learning to keep to schedule for

tests will be able to do so.

Another way quarantine has improved society by preparing the world for the future is

sustaining government plans to help many people who are unable to work during this time. The
American government, using tax information, has passed and has been working to pass a bill to

supply money to Americans seventeen and up. This is to help keep the economy thriving and

stable. This could be used in future relief in another situation like this.

Most importantly, quarantine, has improved society by preparing the world for future by

showing the world the damage countries have done on the environment. During this time of

quarantine pollutants in the world have overall lessen. This is because travel of cars, trains, and

especially airplanes. With travel bans on, and people are only being recommended to leave when

necessary, due to this air pollutants have dwindled. This is looked at as a wakeup call to affect

every single person has how much on the air quality. Not only this but in popular places in Italy,

France, and China shown in pictures are how people could visibly see the pollutants. The photos

taken after depicts the pollution has now become clearer. Seeing the difference can change how

people go about conserving the environment and prepares us for the change to come.

Some may say quarantine has ruined society by provoking the mental health of others

when alone. Though this is not incorrect, many are looking at it more positively. Some see this as

a giant social experiment, possible to explore more options and resources to help with mental

health. Finding better resources for mental health will show to prove quarantine has improved

society.

In conclusion, quarantine has improved society by preparing each country in the world

for future issues. Education has seen a new light during this and will keep schools plans on track.

The government has tried a new type of sustaining the economy and preparing for future events.

Lastly, the environment has taken great impact to quarantine. COVID-19 19 may have taken the

U.S and many other countries by storm, but the progression and improvement quarantine has

taken on the future will be impactful forever.
