Proms and Graduations Cancelled

Proms are cancelled all over the world Graduations? Not this year I feel so sorry for the seniors Both kinds of Seniors The oldsters because they are vulnerable The young ones because so many of their dreams are cancelled No prom No graduation No graduation party Thanks to the Corona Virus School is online until further notice A month ago seniors were trying on shoes for prom Now they are online trying to concentrate on school Online trying to speak with their friends Online trying not to think about prom or graduation

It must be heartbreaking after those students have put in so many years and hard work into the school setting, hoping to reap the rewards. I know a college senior who is devastated she must finish her coursework on line.

its so difficult especially for the youngsters Caren but far better for these things to be cancelled or put on hold rather than risk the virus spreading even more quickly. our island is basically on lock down only residents can come back here then they have to self isolate for 14 days. we now have 20 cases - all mild none in hospital ... yet:-( hugs Jan xx

That is so sad. They say if you get a sore throat drink warm water. It will get rid of the clogging phlegm that kills.
