D
Name
is
lizette,
and
today
our
focus
is
living
through
covet
19,
our
generation
focus
on
safety
and
better
practices.
As
you
may
know,
confirmed,
covet
19
cases
are
on
the
rise
in
santa
clara
county.
Take
a
look
at
the
update
from
our
data
dashboard.
As
of
yesterday.
There
is
8533
cases,
181
deaths
and
one
new
death.
Our
thoughts
are
with
the
families
who
have
lost
loved
ones
due
to
covenanting.
D
B
B
There
are
some
things
that
were
taken
from
us
not
being
able
to
hang
out
with
some
of
our
friends
our
family,
but
I
think
always
learning
new
things
always
finding.
The
things
that
you
enjoy
is
something
that
will
be
helpful.
So
for
me,
I
go
home.
I
take
a
shower.
I
eat.
I
play
some
games
on
my
phone.
I
watch
youtube
and
that's
that's
pretty
much
kind
of
what
I
do
from
day
to
day.
D
B
So
I
know
that
wearing
face
coverings
and
wearing
face
masks,
they're,
not
always
the
the
funnest
of
things.
We
know
that
it
could
be
uncomfortable,
it
can
get
hot,
but
at
the
same
time
we
know
that
this
protects
me.
This
protects
other
people.
You
know.
I
know
that
when
I
was
doing
research
at
stanford
about
ppe
and
face
coverings,
some
people
weren't
wearing
their
ppe
and
that
put
them
out
of
harm.
So
I
know
how
important
this
is.
B
C
B
B
So
you
know,
there's
kind
of
this
misconception
that
youth
aren't
as
impacted
by
killer
19,
but
you
know
we've
seen
that
over
the
last
week
or
so
covet
19
cases
specifically
among
young
adults
has
been
increasing
far
greater
than
those
and
other
age
groups,
especially
you
know
the
rate
at
which
this
grows.
So
this
has
kind
of
created
this
myth
about
covid.
Have
you
seen
anyone
your
age,
not
following
social
distancing
guidelines
or
not
following
the
public
health
order?
D
A
lot
of
us
youngsters
are,
you
know
just
going
up
about
our
lives
thinking.
You
know
we
might
fight
this
off,
but
I
know
recently
I've
seen
a
case
of
a
21
year
old
who
actually
passed
away
due
to
covet
19,
and
it's
actually
very
important
for
us
to
make
sure
that
as
youth,
we
keep
each
other
safe
as
well
as
our
families,
because
maybe
we
might
be
able
to
fight
this
off,
but
maybe
our
parents
aren't.
We
have
a
lot
of
us,
have
parents
who
are
elderly
who
have
diabetes
or
any
other?
D
Correct,
yes,
sorry
and
it's
very
important
for
us
to
keep
them
safe
as
well.
There's
also
children
at
home
in
many
of
our
homes,
and
we
have
to
make
sure
that,
if
we're
going
out,
we
have
to
take
our
masks
that
we're
not
just
thinking
about
ourselves
and
having
fun.
I
know
we're
young
and
we
want
to
live
the
best
of
our
lives
right
now,
because
we're
only
going
to
be
young
for
a
period
of
time,
and
I
understand
that,
like
there's
ways
that
we
can
have
fun.
B
C
So
I
can
relate
to
what
lizeth
said.
I've
definitely
seen
some
young
people
not
wearing
face
covering
or
not
social
distancing,
and
it
definitely
puts
them
at
risk,
especially
when
they
go
home
to
their
parents
or
to
their
siblings,
because
they
can,
although
sometimes
young
people
may
not,
they
may
not
present
the
symptoms
of
covid.
C
B
Yes-
and
I
think
another
thing
to
really
take
this,
especially
for
all
the
young
adults
that
you
know
health
wise-
it
may
not
impact
us
because
we're
healthy,
it
does
impact
us,
but
not
as
at
a
certain
level.
But
if
you
have
a
chronic
condition,
you
know
if
you're
a
smoker.
If
you
have
diabetes
other
things
that
impacts
you
when
you
end
up
in
the
hospital.
It's
not
just
the
health
concerns
you
get
out.
You
have
a
financial
burden,
because
you
have
that
medical
bill
that
you
have
to
pay.
C
C
C
B
So
for
me
I
guess
I
was
planning
to
have
a
summer
summer,
vacation
that
completely
was
thrown
out
the
window,
so
I'm
kind
of
bummed
out
on
that,
but
I
think
at
the
same
time
it
gives
me
a
time
to
you
know,
develop
new
things.
New
skill
sets
prepare
for
college
and
as
for
hanging
out
with
friends
I
I
know
I
can't
do
that.
B
So
you
know
sometimes
I'll
hop
on
go
on
twitch
and
see
my
friends
stream
right
and
I
just
type
in
the
chat-
and
you
know
it's
kind
of
fun
for
me,
because
I'm
not
very
good
at
video
games
so
watching
somebody,
that's
actually
good
at
video
games-
and
you
know
kind
of
makes
me
feel
that
I'm
actually
winning
but
but
they're
winning.
So.
D
Yeah
yeah.
Definitely
it's
it's
hard,
especially
because
I
love
socializing,
so
it's
very
it
was.
It
was
a
bit
difficult
for
me
to
try
to
switch
from
you
know
in
person
to
digital,
and
it
was
at
first
it
was
like
a
bummer.
You
know.
I
know
a
lot
of
us
too
were
at
least
my
friends
who
were
graduating.
They
were
super
excited
to
you,
know,
graduate
and
just
being
that
person
and
that
all
changed
it
was
kind
of
discouraging.
D
For
many
of
us
it
was
a
place
of
how
long
is
this
going
to
last.
So
it
was
a
lot
of
that
and
how
carlos
had
said.
You
know
we're
in
a
digital
age,
so
that
helped
a
lot.
You
know
communicating
with
their
friends
finding
new
ways
to
hang
out
virtually.
I
know
right
now.
You
know
we
have
the
parks
that
are
open,
the
hike,
the
hike
and
the
trails
that
are
open.
So
you
know,
if
you
do
go
out
with
your
friends,
you
know
make
sure
that
you
stay
within
those
friends.
D
Sometimes
you
know
it's
really
hard
not
to
to
not
socialize.
I
think
that's
just
very
difficult.
I
think
us
as
humans.
We
want
to
socialize
and
it's
very
difficult,
but
we
have
to
take
those
precautions
if
we
are
going
to
go
out
to
the
park
to
the
beach
you
know,
and
if
there's
people,
if
there's
too
many
people,
you
know,
maybe
you
shouldn't
be
there.
Maybe
you
should
look
for
somewhere
else
where
it's
a
little
bit
more
isolated.
D
Yeah
definitely
some
changes
was
going.
I
like
working
out,
so
that
was
a
bit
difficult
at
first
because
I
was
like
I
don't
want
to
work
out
at
home.
I
kind
of
you
know
you
kind
of
like
you're
like
I
could
stay
in,
but
a
little
bit
longer,
so
I
kind
of
had
to
put
my
mindset
like
now.
I
have
to
work
out
here
at
home.
D
I
have
no
my
backyard
so
that
kind
of
thing,
like
my
regular
daily
basis,
had
to
completely
change
because
it
all
had
to
be
at
home
at
first.
You
know
everything
well
still
is
at
home,
but
everything
had
to
just
be
focused
like
okay.
Maybe
today
you
know
the
backyard
is
my
gym?
Okay,
maybe
maybe
I
want
to
do
it
in
the
in
the
garage
you
know
I
had.
I
had
to
switch
it
up,
so
it
was
a
lot
of
that
and
just
trying
to
see
what
else
I
can
do
at
home.
D
I
started
since
I
go
to
school.
You
know
I
can't
really
cook
at
home,
so
I
started
to
cook
a
lot
more
bake
to
do
more
things.
I
was
actually
talking
to
my
friends
and
I
was
letting
them
know.
You
know
I
actually
just
got
bored
of
like
you
know
the
same
food
sometimes-
and
I
was
like
you
know
what
I'm
gonna
add
a
little
something
to
it,
see
see
how
that
tastes.
You
know.
Sometimes
it
works.
D
Sometimes
it
didn't
and
I'm
like
you
know
what
I'm
working
I'm
I'm
experiencing
with
my
spices,
you
know
and
seeing
what
else
I
can
create.
So
just
you
know
I
had
to
do
a
lot
of
that
for
my
daily
daily
life
in
school
had
to
be
at
home,
so
it
was
just
how
to
not
feel
like
it's
a
drag
being
at
home.
So
you
had,
I
had
to
find
that
you
know
new
new
ways
to
not
feel
like.
Oh,
it's
such
a
drag.
You
know
yeah.
B
B
B
You
know
jobs
during
this
day
and
age,
especially
for
young
adults
that
just
recently
graduated
from
college
and
also
you
know
school
and
how
that's
going
to
be
looking
for
some
of
us,
whether
that
may
be
you
know
our
online
education,
maybe
a
hybrid
style,
so
that
has
definitely
changed.
So
how
does
it
impact
you
academically,
and
what
have
you
done
to
prepare
during
coping.
D
Yeah
definitely,
I
can
agree
with
that.
I
actually
have
never
took
an
online
class
and
after
we
went
into
quarantine,
I
had
to
find
a
way
how
to
do
that,
because
that
was
the
most
hardest
thing
for
me
still
is
so
for
this
fall
semester,
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out
how
I'm
going
to
keep
myself
focused
in
school
and
how
to
stretch
out
my
days
as
well
like
when
am
I
gonna?
Do
my
homework?
D
If
you
know
I'm
at
home,
and
I
have
to
help
out
with
something,
so
it's
very-
it's
been
actually
very
difficult
and
I'm
pretty
sure,
I'm
not
the
only
ones.
Many
of
college
students
high
school
students,
just
schools
like
students
in
general,
it's
been
a
difficult
time
to
kind
of
not
feel
discouraged
to
like
drop
out
or
just
take
the
semester
off,
because
we're
not
sure
how
the
teachers
are.
Gonna
are
gonna
take
over
the
online
class.
I
know
it's
also
difficult
for
the
professors
and
the
teachers.
D
Some
of
them
are
not
used
to
some
of
them
teach
the
old-fashioned
way,
so
they
have
to
learn.
You
know
how
to
work
a
computer,
and
I
think,
just
right
now,
it's
very
difficult
for
us,
as
students
to
actually
feel
like,
like
we're
focused
in
school,
focused
in
our
subjects
and
how
daniel
says
she's,
switching
a
major,
that's
a
whole
other
process
that
you
have
to
go
through
when
you're
doing
that.
D
B
B
I
I
was
interacting
with
some
of
my
former
professors,
and
you
know
it
was
difficult
for
them
as
well
and
kind
of
getting
students
to
kind
of
participate,
and
you
know
I
mean
that's
a
different
story,
but
I
I
personally
love
in-person
learning
and
you
know
for
me,
starting
my
my
master's
at
berkeley.
I
know
that
that's
going
to
be
a
completely
different
style
of
learning.
B
For
me,
you
know
getting
assimilated
to
a
different
university,
different
teaching
style,
different
professors.
It's
definitely
going
to
be
difficult,
and
so
you
know
there's
something
else.
You
know
like.
I
mentioned
work
for
some
of
us
that
just
graduated
you
know
going
out
to
the
workforce,
we're
not
just
competing
with
other
people
that
just
graduated
we're
also
competing
with
people
that
actually
lost
their
job
as
a
result
of
coba
19..
D
Yeah,
definitely,
I
think,
even
like
for
jobs,
has
been
difficult.
There's
a
few
friends
who've
applied
to
many
places.
You
know,
but,
as
we
all
know,
there's
limited
available
positions
during
this
time,
especially
because
we
have
the
social
distance.
We
have
to
make
sure
that
everything
is
good.
So
right
now
it's
very
difficult.
I
know
that
after
I
finish
my
internship,
I'm
going
to
try
to
see
if
I
can
also
find
a
job
and
how
you
said
you
know,
a
lot
of
people
are
coming,
they're
graduating.
D
They
want
to
find
a
job
and
that's
super
difficult.
I
know
it
is
already
difficult
when
that
pandemic
wasn't
happening.
So
it's
definitely
even
extra.
You
know,
like
it's
ten
times
more
difficult
to
find
a
job
as
a
graduate
student,
so
I
honestly
don't
know
how
they
have
cope
with
it.
You
know
because
I'm
still,
I
haven't
graduated
and
I'm
glad
that
you
said
that
you
know
you're
competing
and
that's
good
to
know,
because
I
know
a
lot
of
the
youth
who
are
watching
they're.
Like
you
know,
I
feel
the
same.
D
I
don't
know
what
to
do,
but
just
don't
get
discouraged.
You
know
just
because
this
is
happening
continue,
continue
to
practice
your
skills
at
home.
You
know
if
you're,
not
good
at
an
internship
practice,
be
like
you
know
what
I'm
gonna
present
myself.
I'm
gonna
build
this
portfolio
for
myself
and
you
know
as
soon
as
I
get
the
chance
go
for
it.
Don't
try
to
limit
your
your
options
if,
right
now,
you
know
you
have
to
work
at
a
grocery
store
or
anything
like
that,
take
it
and
take
the
opportunity
to
be
like.
D
Oh,
you
know.
After
this,
I'm
gonna
go
even
10
times
more
harder
to
get
that
that
job
that
I
actually
really
wanted,
because
I
know
you
know
this
is
going
to
be
a
temporary
thing.
We're
not
sure
you
know
how
long,
but
it
is
temporary.
It's
not
forever.
As
long
as
we
follow,
you
know
the
guidelines
and
everything
like
that,
we're
gonna
get
back
to
it.
So,
right
now
with
jobs
is
very
difficult.
I
know
for
me
it's
just
you
know
it
sometimes
can
get
discouraging,
but
we
have
to
keep
pushing
definitely.
C
I
definitely
have
to
agree
agree
with
lisette.
I
think
right
now,
a
lot
of
people.
My
age,
find
it
very
difficult
to
find
a
job,
especially
since
we're
competing
with
a
lot
of
people,
so
like
my
mom
right
now,
she's
having
trouble
finding
a
job
so
basically,
like
my
people,
my
age,
people
that
are
the
same
age
as
my
mother
and
people
that
are
the
same
age
as
my
brother,
who
just
turned
16
and
so
like
it's
like
three
of
us
that
are
trying
to
find
jobs.
C
So
basically
it's
like
we're
competing
with
people
of
the
same
age
as
us,
and
I
think
especially
right
now,
it's
even
more
difficult
because
of
the
pandemic
and
right
now,
currently,
I'm
lucky
to
have
a
job
with
being
a
part
of
the
new
americans
fellowship
program.
But
after
this
it's
there's
uncertainty
about
where
I
could
apply
and
that's
also
another
reason
why
I've
been
hesitant
about
continuing
my
education,
because
I
also
have
to
provide
for
my
family
with,
because
my
mom
she
also
lost
her
job.
E
B
It's
it's
a
difficult
time
and
you
know
it's
important
that
during
this
difficult
time
that
we're
waiting
for
a
job
to
pop
up,
we
develop
new
skill
sets.
You
know,
contact
professors,
former
professors
reach
out
to
them.
Ask
them
hey.
Is
there,
do
you
know
somebody?
That's
hiring.
Do
you
know
somebody
that
needs
volunteers,
because
sometimes
these
fallen
volunteering
or
internships?
B
C
B
So
number
one
best
practice:
don't
leave
your
house,
it's
plain
and
simple
right.
You
can't
get
exposed
if
you
don't
leave
the
house,
but
other
than
that.
Obviously
you
know
social
distancing.
We
we
know
for
a
fact.
You
know
if
you
social
distance,
your
exposure
level
decreases
your
face
mask
your
exposure
level
decreases.
B
B
If
you
don't
need
to
go
to
the
grocery
store
20
times
a
week.
Just
don't
do
it.
You
know
some
of
us
may
go
to
the
grocery
store
say.
Oh
I
forget
I
forgot
to
get
grab
this.
Do
I
really
need
to
grab
that
go
back
just
to
that?
One
item,
probably
not,
but
you
know
just
reduce
your
exposure
as
much
as
possible.
Take
the
trips
that
you
need
to
take
and
don't
do
anything
else
that
puts
you
at
a
greater
risk.
B
I
need
to
stay
home
and
protect
my
friends,
my
family,
my
co-workers.
You
know
if
I
come
here
and
expose
somebody
at
work.
You
know
that
I
don't
know
how
severe
that
could
get.
They
could
end
up
at
the
hospital
or
maybe
they
don't
and
they're
completely
fine,
but
I
don't
want
to
take
that
risk.
So
that's
that's
what
I
would
say
is
kind
of
the
best
practices.
D
And
definitely-
and
if
you
do,
if
you
are
an
essential
worker
or
you
go
out
to
get
groceries,
make
sure
that
you
also
go
get
tested.
If
you
have
an
insurance
make
an
appointment
with
your
doctor,
if
you
don't,
there
are
available
free
sites
for
you,
you
can
always
go
to
them
and
make
sure
you
go
early
as
well,
because
due
to
the
high
covet
cases,
there
is
a
longer
wait
time
but
get
tested.
D
If
you
can't
do
it
once
a
week,
you
know
make
sure
you
do
it
at
least
twice
a
month
or
as
as
much
as
you
can.
If
we
would
say,
but
if
you
don't
have
time
once
a
month
would
be
would
be
best,
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
staying
safe
and
we
take
those
precautions
before
you
know
you
go
out
to
maybe,
if
you're
gonna
go
see
your
family
and
you've
been
out,
get
tested,
make
sure
that
you're,
okay,
first
before
you
go
and
bring
in
something
to
the
house.
C
I
would
also
like
to
add
on
especially
some
young
people
who
aren't
able
to
drive
right
now.
They
try
to
get
around
with
either
like
uber
or
lyft
or
some
other
type
of
transportation
like
the
vta
buses.
So
what
I
would
suggest
is,
if
you
are
taking
like
a
lift
or
an
uber,
is
to
try
to
sit
in
the
back
and
like
opposite
of
the
person
and
then
just
kindly
ask
your
driver
to
roll
down
the
windows
and
make
sure
that
your
driver
and
you
yourself,
are
wearing
masks
this
will.
C
This
will
put
you
at
a
lower
risk,
especially
since
the
air
is
going
to
be
circulating
in
the
car
and
if
you
are
at
the
vta,
try
not
to
touch
a
lot
of
surfaces,
especially
since
you
don't
know
who's
been
there
before
and
try
to
wear
your
mask,
especially
try
to
wear
your
mask
when
you
are
waiting
for
the
bus
at
the
bus.
Stop
because
I
know
that
a
lot
of
people
they're
waiting
at
the
bus
stop,
but
they
don't
have
their
face
covering
on
before
they
get
on
the
bus.
