Covid whale
Covid Whale.
“It’s
sort of like a whale. You think, ‘Can something that big really exist?’
And then you see one. 'God, that’s real.'
It feels like you’re in another world. We thought, ‘Nah, that can’t affect us. We’re this far away from it.’”

“School’s
definitely changed. They’ve wanted us to keep busy in these hard times so there’s
a lot more work. It’s just Zoom meeting after Zoom meeting.
Breakfast… Maybe lunch… Dinner… Rinse and repeat.”
Do you feel like the teachers suddenly need you to be a lot more adult and mature?”
“Definitely. I think my school’s a lot more on top of it. My little brother’s primary school doesn’t get that many Zoom meetings. So he has to look through all his emails each morning and teach himself, while for most periods I’m just listening to the teacher on Zoom.
So it’s the not the biggest difference from the classroom environment for me, but for him he’s totally in a new working environment.”
