Girl Makes the Most out of Stay-At-Home Order
Rose Delaigle is doing her best to have fun while stuck at home during this trying time of the coronavirus pandemic.
Delaigle lives in Yorktown, Virginia and works at a medical billing company while going to school at Thomas Nelson Community College. On March 30, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam issued a stay-at-home order throughout the state. This order allows for individuals to only leave the house for work, groceries, pharmacies, and medical emergencies. He also banned all gatherings of more than 10 people.
To keep herself connected to the outside world, Delaigle is keeping in touch with friends and family through FaceTime. She and her family are using technology to stay up-to-date on all the things going on in the world and with their loved ones.
While Delaigle is at home most of the time, she still works everyday since her place of business was deemed essential. “I am worried that the coronavirus will infect one of my own family members,” Delaigle said. She is worried about the virus reaching her family because she still has to work, especially since her sister’s 3-month-old son is living with them as well. To make it so that doesn’t happen, she has been wearing a mask and gloves everyday.
Delaigle and her family have been bonding more due to the coronavirus. “We have taken this opportunity to become closer as a family by playing games together, watching movies together, and more” she said. They will also take turns cooking dinner every night. They also celebrated a holiday, even though it wasn’t official, which created a unique and fun way to bond. They did a Halloween night where they tricked and treated each other’s rooms and watched horror films together.
Delagile says she is just trying to make the best out of things with the way they are now and not let the coronavirus get her down.
