Freddie, 16, says he’d do anything to protect his family during this pandemic — even if staying home is hard. He shared snippets of his life for an AP video diary project. Read more here:
Zoe, 16, lives in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with her parents and sister. She describes stricter measures there for keeping people at home — and how those who disobey risk getting a ticket or being arrested. “It’s very intense,” she said. If the rest of the school year is canceled, she might not see one of her best friends, whose family is moving to another country. “My hope is that will clear up really, really soon, really, really fast by some miracle,” she says.
These days Carly Roitz, 23, rarely, if ever, leaves her Chicago condo; she has lupus, an autoimmune disorder, and is considered at higher risk. Recently graduated from Tulane University with a degree in public health, she and her fiancé are grateful they are able to work from home. They also are planning to marry in the fall and are wondering how the virus might affect those plans — though, given her education and health status, she knows that getting past this crisis is most important.
Also hunkered down with their families: Shiv Soin, a 19-year-old New York University student in New Jersey who is working with other young climate activists to turn planned Earth Day marches into a massive livestream event. Pablo Roa, a 24-year-old journalist in Mexico City, is particularly worried about his father, who is undergoing chemotherapy, and those in his country who have no choice but to work outside the home.
“Many greater countries have suffered this virus, so it would be really hard if we fall down because of it,” she says.Martha Irvine, an AP national writer and visual journalists, can be reached at [email protected] or at http://twitter.com/irvineap
