If you could have done one thing differently at the start of the pandemic, what would it be and why?
At the beginning of the pandemic, i stocked up with a healthy assortment of books from the library, from friends, and from my own collection which I intended to read or re-visit I did get through some of them, but I also fell into the bad habit of doomscrolling the news -- reading the endless parade of articles about politics, shortages, restrictions, deaths, the progression of the disease across the nation -- and finding myself unable to concentrate on books on paper i wish I'd committed to a limit on reading articles online and reserving a space for reading books Looking back, my time was better spent adding to the list of books I've read, instead of the amorphous blur of worrisome thoughts and dire warnings that constituted the daily online onslaught. I understand why I did it, but I'd do it differently today

How is the pandemic affecting any children in your life? Give an example or two of some specific ways you've seen this happen.
For this week journal I’ll be talking about how the pandemic has affected some of the children in my family. I am concerned because many of my younger cousins are not going physical to school and I’m worried about their ability to socialize with other kids and their ability to learn essential tasks or lessons also some of them are not old enough to understand what’s happening and I feel unsafe cause they are children and sometimes they do not understand what social distancing is or wash their hands after touching dirty superficies and they can’t even keep their masks on.
