How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
In the Sonoran Desert, cactus blossom each spring. From this harsh looking plant comes the most vibrant colors. The desert reminds us to remain in the moment, because these beautiful flowers only last a day. Toward the cool of the evening, you begin to see them opening. By morning, you awake to the cactus in full bloom. By mid-afternoon, they begin to droop and close from the intense heat. And then they are gone. Happy Easter and the beginning of springtime. Be present in this moment.

What do you think history books will say about this time? In your view, what's most important for them to include?
History books will have various accounts about this pandemic period. If you are reading a political history book, it got Biden elected. If the book writer is from the health profession, this period is one of the most devastating catastrophes in terms of human life. In an economic book, it is the cause of the near collapse of the economies of most countries in the world. If the writer is a religious fanatic, the writer will say that we are being punished by God. In my view, the book should include the following: 1) history of the origin of the the pandemic, particularly how it started and spread to the entire world, 2) the reaction of world leaders, the policies and procedures they took, 3) controversies of world leader actions, 4) responses of people all over the world - much like what this journal documents, 5) what it took to eradicate the pandemic.
