¿De que manera el coronavirus le está afectando su vida en este momento? Cuéntenos sus experiencias, sensaciones/emociones, y pensamientos.
Durante los últimos días he tenido un vaivén de emociones, el sentimiento de necesitar salir a respirar aires de los parques o las zonas forestales se hacen cada vez más fuertes, pero con la crisis sanitaria y las personas de mi ciudad descuidándose aún no puedo disfrutar esto. Esta semana mis amigos y yo nos hemos empezado a comunicar por videollamadas, ¡Es más divertido de lo que pensé!, no es lo mismo que estar juntos, comiendo y conviviendo, pero la situación que pasamos ha hecho que algunas plataformas innoven más y nos hagan sentir conectados, hemos probado a ver películas juntos de manera simultanea y es bastante lindo, es increíble cómo podemos sentir unión estando tan separados. Sin embargo, personas cercanas a mí han comenzado a preocuparse por pequeños síntomas de enfermedad que tienen, no necesariamente de la que actualmente nos afecta, pero hasta un simple resfriado nos hace sugestionarnos mucho y pedir por su bienestar. Solo nos queda esperar y seguir cuidándonos, por mi parte, trataré de siempre encontrarle cosas positivas a esta situación, ¡No puedo esperar a ver los frutos de las cosechas que por la pandemia mi papá se animó a sembrar!, un pequeño huerto familiar ahora le da la paz mental a mi papá que necesitaba por no poder salir. Ánimo, espero que todos se encuentren bien.

How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
Currently it is Labor Day weekend and we are pretty much staying home and not going anywhere. This is basically because my son has been sick. Last Thursday he started getting sick and I immediately started to panic and think that it could be Covid. He was stuffy, sore throat, his chest hurt pretty bad and he had a fairly high fever. On Friday I took him to the doctor to get tested for strep throat and Covid. At the doctors office we were not allowed to come in the front door because of his symptoms. We had to go around to the side door, wait until they were ready and then they brought us in the side and straight to the room. They checked him out and then did a rapid Covid test and strep test. We had to wait about 15-20 minutes for the results. Both of the tests were negative. They said it was just viral and to push fluids and rest. So even though he doesn't have Covid we have stayed home this weekend and just hung out around the house. He isn't vaccinated and neither is my husband. Neither one of my parents are vaccinated either and we just feel like we shouldn't go around them with him being sick. I mean, what if the Covid test wasn't accurate? It was the rapid one and I don't know the effectiveness of that one? I don't want to ever be the reason that a family member or friend comes down with Covid. So I think it's best to not really be around people this weekend. Not exactly how I thought our Labor Day weekend would go. I was hoping to get together with family yesterday or today and have a cook out. Instead this is giving me plenty of time to work on homework that is due tonight! I am also laid off from work this coming week. So I will have a lot of time to get stuff done around the house. I work for Ford Motor Company and we are being affected by the chip shortage that is happening right now. Thankfully I can collect unemployment and also receive sub pay. I just have to wait a little longer to receive my money.
