How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
I felt very alone this week. Some of it was the anniversary of my mother’s passing, some the disgust at the nonsense on the political scene, and some the anticipated let down of the coming Holiday seasons (which will be more nonevents and missed family and friends gatherings) .. these all seemed to push my Pandemic switch from acceptance of this “new normal”, past Covid fatigue to Covid retreat. I spent one whole day surfing YouTube videos...all very educational as I demanded that of myself...no cute kittens and puppies, or compilations of fails as I did not want any more wallowing in failures or fluff...but how many flourless cake recipes, Tahitian dance competitions, how to trim cow hooves, or say yes to the dress silly bride episodes can one take. Next day I had to get out of the house, apparently with everyone else experiencing the same thing, and I found myself in a crowded store stocking up wishing I wasn’t there and wondering why I was?

Think about the people closest to you. Tell us about how the coronavirus has affected them, and their life.
My husband is an EMT and wears his R99 everywhere. He says it's because it helps with the fog in his glasses, but I know he is still nervous. He sees the worst of the pandemic day in & day out. At least he looks like a storm trooper.
