How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
I am not a Van Gogh type of person: I cannot be creative when I am depressed. But I have tried to do two things consistently throughout the pandemic: walk and read. These are the books I am currently reading. I also read the news everyday but I am trying to break that habit. I find myself in tears often - for instance, the continued assault on black people by racist police; reading that 10 people were shot in a supermarket; the attack on Asian Americans.

Some people are feeling intense feelings right now as a result of the pandemic. Is anything making you especially sad, angry, or hopeful right now? If so, what's on your mind?
The recklessness of elected officials, especially Republicans in Congress is making me very angry. All around us, I see children without enough food, people still unable to work and no ability to pay rent, utilities, or buy basic necessities for their families. Because of a few show-boating, ill-informed, and some downright stupid officials blocking the way for relief.
