Coughing cover your mouth:

I went to open mic at Sky Bar two weeks ago because my friend wanted me to sing fudge packer, which is about tail gating. When, my sister and I arrived at Sky Bar. I took a seat  and listened to the other acts. My sister went to Brooklyn pizza to get some pizza. As I was sitting there, my friend had arrived. My friend went to talk to the host and make sure we could still play a set for open mic. Afterwards, he came up to me and said, we are the last act of the night. I said cool. He then, proceeded to say that Tina was outside and to go and say hi to her. I got up and walked outside and said hi to Tina. She had a cough and it looked like she had a stuffy nose too.  I said hi, but didn’t stay with her that long because I didn’t know if she had a cold or COVID-19. Well, she wasn’t struggling to breathe. She just had a cough, but I kept my distance anyways because I catch sickness very easily. Paul my friend told me that Tina was going to sing some songs with us. I said ok.

By this time, my sister had come back from Brooklyn pizza. She also noticed that Tina was coughing. I introduced her to Paul and Tina. She also kept her distance from Tina.

When it was our turn to perform. We got up on stage. Tina, Paul, and I. I performed my song first. It went pretty good. Then, Tina performed. She has a great voice, but she was coughing so it couldn’t be comfortable for her to sing, but she did it anyways and did a great job. The last song was Paul and he did a great job too. While he was singing, Tina was coughing a lot. I just kept my distance and didn’t look at her.

So that is what COVID-19 is like in our community. We just keep our distance from anyone that coughs. It may not be COVID-19, but I don’t want to get sick either. Sometimes, my sister and I will wear masks when we are going to be big crowds. If, I go to the store or where people congregate, there will be people with masks.

It is usually hot by this time of the year, but we have been going through a cold spell. It is weird. The weather is weird, so since it is still cold outside. More people, will wear masks because they don’t want to get sick. I think more people are staying home too because they don’t want to get sick by going out. Thank goodness I didn’t catch Tina’s cold or whatever she had. My sister and I kept our distance. Thank you for reading.
