Student A: You’ve been in quarantine lockdown for 3 months and you have been experiencing many strange emotions. Sometimes you feel really depressed and have sever anxiety. Sometimes you rock back and forth in your computer chair while your mind goes blank. Sometimes you obsessively check the news for new coronavirus information.

Student A: You are against the quarantine lockdown and you think it’s affecting the country in very negative way. You want to eliminate the curfew and the mandatory facemasks. You think the virus is being exaggerated and that it’s probably a hoax. Try to convince students C and B to think your way. Student B: You are very happy with the steps being taken by your government and you think stricter measures must be taken. You think that people who protest the lockdown should be arrested. You also think the usage of gloves should be mandatory as well. Try to convince student C and A to think your way. Student C: You have a radio talk show and you’re not sure if the lockdown is a good thing and you have doubts about the validity of the virus.

Hello, Sam and Alex, welcome to the show. I’ve been having mixed feelings about the lockdown and the stay at home orders. I don’t know what to think. You have to snap out of it. It’s all a lie. It’s part of the new world order to control every aspect of our lives. You call 350,000 thousand people dead a lie? Come on, 150,000 people die every day and thousands from the common flu.
