It was Monday march 16th and people wouldn't know this but school was shut down for the rest of the year. On this day Gretchen Whitmer the governer shut down schools for 3 weeks due to the growing corona virus. Eventually as the days went on the weeks kept getting etended to the point where we are now with all of our school online and not going back to school for the rest of the year.
Some hardships came not just the students but also the teachers. As the students had to cope with doing their assignments online the teachers also had to cope with making these online assingment. Some teachers rather use online meetings through zoom while some others like sending questions or worksheets through google classroom. While being a student these things canbe hard because of responcibility. Since students are now home all the time they have to take intiative and actually log in and do their work rather than being forced to go to school. As a student from Avondale Highschool said School has become way harder now. I wake up at 12 and don't want to do any work at all. I'd rather play video games than have to read The Hobbit
Another student from the same school said School is normally pretty easy to me but the work has became harder during this because the instructions are misleading and I can't ask any questions with imediate responce.
This shows how hard it is being a student during this time but let's now step into life of a buisness.
All buisness were shut down not long after the schools. The Stay at Home Order was put into effect March 23 of 2020 and that meant that all non essential buisness had to shut down for the time being. This also meant that people had to stay home unless it's essential and if this wasn't listened to then you'd be charged a $1,000 fine. Now this may seem terrible but to fix all these non essential buisness closing the government started an uneployment system. What this did was you'd file that you've been laid off and send in your taxes from 2019. You could do this for the federal and Nation for money and they would determine how much you got based off the taxes. So in all the Corona virus has effected our area in many negative ways and in beleif this stay at home order will not be lifted anytime soon.
