How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
We are having a hard time getting back to a normal tech-life balance in our house. Screens have been such an exaggerated part of our lives for a long time now. With lockdowns and things being closed and playdates so infrequent, as well as digital school for a while, we've let technology like video games and Netflix take a larger role in our daily life than we normally would have. Everyone has just gotten used to that as the default entertainment option. It can be hard to even remember what we did all day during the summer before the pandemic. We are working on breaking bad habits like binge watching and cycling from 1 screen to another, but the number of hours we all find ourselves using tech is still pretty high. Especially on a rainy day like today.

Have people in your community supported one another during the pandemic? Talk about why or why not, and maybe give some examples.
In Oklahoma we witness many occurrences of people in the community reaching out and supporting one another during the coronavirus pandemic. People are hungry and I see donations to the food bank increase. The online disaster of securing a vaccine appointment is spread around the country. Locally a young man set up a vaccine appointment tracking website to help others locate open appointments. His story made the local news and when people found out this man set up the site on his own using his own money donations began pouring in to help him maintain his website.Neighbors will stop their cars, roll down their windows and ask if you need anything at the store. I have seen and experienced such acts of kindness.
