How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
A third lockdown in Israel. Schools are still open, but “unnecessary” shops are closed. And of course, culture, restaurants, social events. And our parents can’t come over to see their grandchildren. It is a political lockdown: it could have been avoided if the government managed to enforce restrictions on the communities that persistently refuse to obey them (orthodox jews, arabs). In Tel Aviv, in our neighborhood, the pandemic is very much in control and weekly tests in my daughter’s school repeatedly show no positives. But there’s no afterschool activity, and friends are not allowed to come over (we don’t obey that). In the picture: a domestic “science” experience with oil and colored water.
