            The virus has affected her life by causing her to be unemployed throughout the year, and having most of her classes moved to online/asynchronous classes instead of meeting in person which has “caused [her] stress and inability to focus in classes”.

            Although she has not gotten sick with the virus some of her friends have caught it which has dissuaded her from going out with friends and attending family gatherings.

            Throughout the virus’ existence she has been unable to leave the house and has been dissuaded from going out with friends.
