Think about the people closest to you. Tell us about how the coronavirus has affected them, and their life.
My husband was offered a job in California just before the lockdown. We live in England and he is Belgian. He was very excited to be offered this job and as a family we were psychologically preparing for the transition. He began the process necessary to take a job with this organization. After having his FBI check it was time to proceed with the visa application. His job as a highly valued technical position. Then Donald Trump decided to stop processing and issuing any of these visas. Currently this order is in place until the end of the year. This has made our life more complicated along with the challenges of the pandemic. As now he is unsure when and if he may go to California, his moods vacillate as we are generally staying at home or going places where there are few people. We watch the numbers in California with sadness.
