How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
The coronavirus pandemic has not negatively affected my life this past week. It seems like life is getting back to normal with fewer cases being reported and mask mandates being lifted. it is good to feel safer than I did a year ago and get on with things that were postponed due to COVID-19. I listed my childhood home with a realtor today and am looking forward to lots of interest in it since the housing market is booming, many people want to live in that town. and there are very few houses currently for sale. it seems to be a blessing that Mom didn't want us to rent or sell her house until after she died because the timing is right for a home sale. The pandemic fear is lessening so people are ready to get on with their lives. Spring refreshes outlooks and renews hope. Hopefully, the property will sell quickly so there is one less item on the "to do list". Isn't it strange how things seem to work out?

What was the biggest news story this past week -- either in your community, nationally, or globally?
The biggest news story in my life is Bermuda going from utopia to dystopia in a few weeks. We had 4 Covid cases at one time. The island has a population of 64,000 and for a while was considered one of the safest places on the planet. But, because of Covidiots gathering and mixing households and not wearing masks, our numbers are over 850 cases, 41 in the hospital, a few in intensive care and a new death just today. The government shut the island down on April 13 for a week. No one is allowed to leave their house. No businesses open ( except groceries and pharmacies-- a few other exceptions) and no one can do anything. Parks, trails and beaches closed. Museums, schools, restaurants all closed. No take out to delivery. Curfew in effect. National Guard checkpoints. (They aren't scary but they are there) The draconian rules will be lifted slightly on Tuesday I wanted to answer both: When is the last time I laughed: I do laugh. I live with a 2 1/2 year old now and she makes me laugh. My husband made me laugh the other day. I attended a Zoom comedy show a week or so ago. When my husband was here we watched comedy on Netflix. I laughed with my girlfriends on a FaceTime call. I do laugh and I highly recommend.
