*Questions

-What is the effect of covid19 affecting on our society and our lives?

Cual es el efecto del covid19 en nuestra sociedad y en nuestras vidas?

-Some people instead of quarantine, they begin the protest against covid19 as well as the government when
they lockdown the cities/countries. What’s your opinion?

Algunas personas en vez de estar en cuarentena, estan protestando en contra del covid19 al igual que contra la
cuarentena organizada por el gobierno de diferentes paises. Cual es tu opinión?

These are some consequences to isolation, some people have reacted in this way because people entered
economic crisis since there was unemployment, several guilds were left out working as taxi drivers, drivers,
traders, street vendors, businesses failed among others.

-Others said that covid19 is damaging terribly to human but not to environment. Why? Do you agree or
disagree? What will happen when everyone gets back to normal life?

Algunas personas dicen que el covid19 está destruyendo de manera terrible a los humanos pero no al medio
ambiente. Por qué? Estas de acuerdo o en desacuerdo? Que crees que va a suceder una vez todos volvamos a
nuestras vidas normales?

if it has favored the environment positively because environmental pollution has decreased as there is gas
decrease and the air we breathe is purer, the rivers are cleaner between otos. but if you end up with several
human lives, adding that people's quality of life has worsened significantly.

I would think that when we get back to normal people have already become aware of how important it is to
maintain a pollution-free environment and avoid polluting it

Los estudiantes del mundo están recibiendo clases virtuales durante la pandemia covid19. ¿Cuales son los
beneficios y cuales son las desventajas de esto?

the benefits is that many people who find it difficult to study because they did not have means of transport
can do it from home without problems, they save the transport thing, in addition to that there is more
accompaniment of the family in their studies and tasks, and a disadvantage is that some students have become
lazy because they do not pay adequate attention to their classes and become mediocre since the requirement
is less
