Coronavirus in Weatherford, Texas

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 had put the town of Weatherford in a state of
barrenness and paranoia. The town’s most lively and populated areas are now occupied by
emptiness and silence. Without the people around to give the town its life, Weatherford is
looking like a sad town. Places like Weatherford High School, Weatherford College, and
local parks like Cherry Park are completely empty and devoid of life to the point where it’s
almost scary. Stores that often host to hundreds of people are empty beyond recognition.
There are usually lots of places filled with people. For example, Weatherford College,
a place usually filled with hundreds of aspiring students trying to get an education, is now
hollow and filled with silence. Another is Weatherford High School usually always has
people there, students and teachers alike, all hours of the day and now must wait too be
filled once again with minds to shape for college. Finally there are Pubic Parks in
Weatherford like Chery Park that usually have young and older children playing on the
equipment in the park and in the pool, as well. And now, they are quiet as they wait for
quarantine to pass and summer to begin.
