Good afternoon Arantxa, this is Paula Domínguez from 2º A, here you got my answers:
ReplyDelete1. We can use it talking about the virus, because it´s spreading very fast between people, and we can use it refering at a laughing of someone, because sometimes you see someone laughing so hard you start laughing too, and we can aply it at feelings too.
2.Something cockney it's a word that you can replace for a rime when you want to name it. For example they got ''apples and pears'' because pears rhyme with stairs. Related with the COVID-19 they have ''Miley Cyrus'' that replace the word ''Coronavirus'' because Cyrus rhymes with virus, but they don't use it as a formal expresion.
3.They use it to express that nobody can go in or out of an area, so the virus doesn't spread himself. This term is also used in extreme circumstances like prison, where the inmates aren't allowed to go out unless they do their time.
4.Pandemic is a noun that refers to the virus as something global, that has enter different countries. So, a epidemic is something that is happenin only in one country, like the ebola, that it was about to turn to a pandemic but at the end we could solve it.
5.It means that you don't go to an office or something like that to work anymore, because of self isolate, lockdown or quarantine, so you do your task or work at home helped by your electronic dispositives so you can stay in contact with your boss, your teachers, your employees, etc.
