How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
The public transportation system ... is reducing bus routes and will no longer let seniors ride their GoBus at the end of September. This is the transportation I use to get to dentist, doctor appointments and to grocery store. I have no car. The only people that will be allowed to ride GoBus are people who are certified disabled by the ... Area Transit System. As I have a mental health diagnosis of GAD and OCD, I am thinking about submitting my application for GoBus ridership. But am worried and mistrustful of the ... administration to keep this information confidential and give me a fair hearing. My only other option is the regular city buses which are a much higher risk for COVID exposure and I am in high vulnerability group due to my age and high blood pressure. While I have been able to do some food shopping locally within walking distance, I will not be able to access these food sources come winter ..like the farmers market, cheese shop and bakery. So now I have both a transportation problem and a food access problem.

La ventana de mi cuarto. Cada noche antes de dormir, cada mañana antes de despertar veo hacia el cielo por medio de la ventana de mi cuarto, escucho los sonidos, los pájaros que cantan. Ya no he escuchado los pajaros que a las 5am cantaban anunciandome que ya iba tarde a la escuela, ya no he escuchado a mi vecina gritar "Vas tarde" a su hijo, ya no he visto al chofer que siempre me decia "No te atravieses asi" cuando veia que el camión se me pasaba, no he visto a mis amigos en el camión, antes no veia la ventana de mi cuarto y ahora si. Al ver la ventana de mi cuarto me pregunto, ¿Cuándo volvere a salir como antes? ¿Cuándo vere a mis amigos otra vez?
