As the Coronavirus keeps spreading, many people are wondering if they are able to go go back inside to certain places. Whether it is the park, a restaurant, or even a relative’s house. When we go into the grocery store to get the necessary items needed during this rough time, there are people everywhere wearing a mask, worried about getting sick. Recently, there is new hope for everybody during this time. Some places in the cities just announced that they might be opening back up.

Many people have been so excited and thrilled over this news and are getting ready for a new beginning. People have already been planning which places they are going to shop at once some places open back up in the area. Everybody is thinking since everything is opening back up, the Coronavirus might come to an end. The question is, is this a safe idea?

However, some people think stores should just be closed for just a little bit longer.

“I would say that they should wait a little and if they do open follow the restrictions because there will be a second wave and we need to keep it under control,” Sophie Buehrer (‘23) said.

Many students think the virus will skyrocket if stores start to open up again and are worried.

“The numbers are still going up and people are still dying and getting affected by the virus. It might get worse or the stores and places might have places where to stand 6 feet from people,” Jaden Walls (‘22) said.

Everybody’s opinions vary, but the stores are set on their ideas and will open up next week.

“I think leaving things how they are for some more time until the amount of people that they have is lower would be when we should start opening places up. If we are careful about what we do, then I think it will be fine. But if we are not as careful, I think it will pick up,” Tessa Donato (‘23) said.

If stores are planning on opening in the next week, people are having a new hope that this could be the end of the Coronavirus. Since doors are starting to open up for people, we should still stay safe and stay inside to be healthy. As we go into certain places, everybody that might work at that establishment take drastic measures to keep everyone safe, like allowing a certain number of people enter a grocery store. We are still thriving as a community and are trying very hard to live a healthy lifestyle and keep the virus away in our lives. But the main question is, will the Coronavirus ever come to an end for us people?
