Think about the people closest to you. Tell us about how the coronavirus has affected them, and their life.
This is a photo of a chalk drawing of Hope and Love drawn by a young child, another interesting find on a neighborhood walk. Not being able to go to school, and parents doing homeschooling has affected the lives of my children and grandchildren. I have faith that my grandchildren will be able to eventually catch up on their schooling. Other children won't be able to.I worry about this a lot. At this point in the evil pandemic, no one knows when children all over the world will be able to return to school. This is a problem that will be talked about and written about for perhaps endless years. Did people write about how children were affected educationally after the Spanish Flu of 1918-1919? Where is that information?I can't find it.

How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
After a month or so into the pandemic, around April 2020, I devised a system for setting my groceries aside to quarantine the things which I could not wash. (Later it became things I did not want to bother to wash. I decided I could just have them sit for 4 days before I put them away.) I organized this system by making paper tags with days of the week so I would know on what day I could touch them. This morning, at last, I recycled all those day tags because now I feel that I can just put the things away. I have read There is a one in 10,000 chance of catching covid via a fomite and I have decided that since I am fully vaccinated I am not going to worry about that anymore! Hooray! A bit of freedom! That is my big accomplishment for the week.
