Lidia said she would never forget the look on my face when I
found out that being in lockdown didn’t mean staying at home
just for two or three hours. I thought she was exaggerating.
What?
Really?
Seriously?
Until when?
But what’s going
on?
How annoying!
Calm down,
Alex!

We were locked up athome because ofthe darned coronavirus.
I was longing to go to the park with Lidia and the monsters,
and I also wanted to go and visit my grandpa. I wanted to go
to school and I wanted... I wanted to go anywhere! But the
reality was that I was locked up at home with ten monsters...
Ten monsters and my parents!
Yes, yes... a video call at three, I’ll
send you an email now. Let’s chat
at five... And I’ll call you by phone
tonight, if necessary. And more
tomorrow!
I think you’re working
twice as hard when you
work from home!
You’re right, Alex,
it’s crazy!
In ten minutes, let’s set the table,
have dinner and then we can play
cards. In the meantime, finish your
schoolwork please and send it using
the app.

What a life! And I also felt bad for my friends, the monsters,

I’m so sorry we can’t go
to the park! If it was up
to me, we would be going
right now!
What are you
on about?
You’re starting
again!
It seems that we have to
remind you about what’s
going on!
Come on, let’s
do it!
Alex, Alex! How
are you doing?
Wait, Lidia, he was thinking
of going out!

The monsters had no choice but to remind me.Ziro took out
his whiteboard and they all explained it very clearly.
First of all, Alex, you have to
understand that there are many
types of viruses. In fact, every
time we catch a cold or have the
flu it’s because of a virus…
Although viruses don’t just
give us colds and flu. They
cause other diseases too.
This virus is
disgusting! I hate the
coronavirus!
Calm down, Emmo,
that won’t help us
get rid of the virus!

Ziro’s explanations were interesting. It turns out that viruses are
microbes thatcan only be seen under a powerful microscope.
There are many microbes that aren’t harmful to us, such as the
bacteria used to produce yogurt and the fungus we use to make
Roquefort cheese. But microbes also include viruses, and some
of them cause colds and flu.
The viruses reach our body...
