serena do YOU have any headcanons about covid-19 on SE?? it's an interesting concept sorry lmao
I-
eh, fuck it. This isn’t the worst thing I’ve done…
*************
The Health Sciences and Bio department, housing multiple health professionals and doctors, is now in charge of all preventive measures.
Due to Arlington’s wealth and big budget, they order a bunch of tests and get every single person at Arlington tested. They also get a lot of medical equipment to deal with COVID cases, if anybody gets tested positive.
Arlington Academy students are actually living the best case scenario: tons of highly intelligent people, with multiple doctors on site. Security is super tight (so lockdowns are super effective), lots of money to keep the students safe, fed and healthy, etc.
They convert one of the bigger classrooms into a makeshift emergency room/isolation ward, just in case the city’s hospital is overflowing and they need to treat students in-house.
Speaking of lockdown, the school did just that at least 2 weeks before the rest of the country started to wake up.
Students who have been travelling in the last 40 days are tested first (Tadashi, the twins, Neha, Axel). All of them come back negative, fortunately.
Students from the HS&B department are the first ones to volunteer with the situation. Claire makes her rounds, taking temperatures, blood pressure, organizing each student’s medical file, etc.
Like in Andy’s headcannon, students without a roommate decide to pair up with others in order to ease the loneliness.
Classes keep going, but the workload is somewhat reduced to help students cope with the already high stress situation.
Despite everything, students come together for the greater good. Especially the students who have relatives living abroad. Scholar finds themselves comforting Karolina, Tegan and Neha when they’re anxious about what’s happening back home.
Daily check-ins become a habit. Students call home every night. Classmates keep an eye out on everyone.
Like I posted on our social media accounts, Claire would use Tadashi’s newfound popularity online to record a PSA for his subscribers. It was scripted with Dr. Wu’s help.
Sleepovers with over 5 people in the same dorm become a regular thing. By the end of the second week of lockdown, the Main 10 + Scholar move into Tegan and Tyler’s dorm. They all become closer because of it, kinda like a family.
They distract themselves with video games, comic books and just general chilling around.
They also do their homework and study together, which ironically makes them all perform better at school
