How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
my disabled brother sent me this about a month ago, in a good mood then. Tomorrow I go see him for this first time since a very difficult visit 9 months ago. Hoping against hope his mood is improved. He has 3 co-occurring mental illnesses, and the past year and a half have been an absolute struggle.

Let's talk about exercise. Has the pandemic affected whether or how you exercise? If so, how?
To be honest I have always struggled to maintain a regular exercise habit. I played roller derby for 6 years and that was the most regular exercise I have gotten, and the most fit I have ever been. But since COVID contact sports have been put on hold and roller derby is still unavailable. I have been riding my bike more regularly, commuting to work and taking longer scenic rides on weekends. When the pandemic started it felt like the safest form of exercising. It still does. I also feel safer going on rides with others since it is outdoors and there is a lot of wind resistance when you ride where I live.
