¿De que manera el coronavirus le está afectando su vida en este momento? Cuéntenos sus experiencias, sensaciones/emociones, y pensamientos.
Ultimamente tenho conseguido retomar as atividades físicas e fazer passeios ao ar livre, ficar observando a natureza... Desde que meus pais e minha namorada foram 100% imunizados contra a covid-19, tenho me sentido mais confortável saindo de casa (com todos os cuidados, claro), embora eu só tenha tomado a primeira dose. Espero que a sensação de segurança aumente cada vez mais com a minha imunização completa e da população como um todo, porque por um tempo isso foi bem difícil. Só saía para suprir as necessidades básicas e, ainda assim, sentia muito medo o tempo todo. Ainda tenho muita insegurança e incerteza quanto ao futuro, mas fico feliz e aliviada de ver que as campanhas negacionistas e de desinformação não foram capazes de tirar a confiança do brasileiro nas vacinas. Isso traz esperança de que a vida comece a melhorar.

How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
This past week I started reading my umpteenth book that is politically related. Many of my electives while majoring in painting in Boston were all taken in political science. Surprise! It was a turbulent time in the late 60’s early 70’s. Wexwere politically active. I retained my active respinse - often demonstrating to “save the arts in MA” “pink hats with 400,000 in NYC, yelling f—-k Nixon on the MA Statehouse steps. No ine was pepper sprayed on the Statehouse lawn that spring day in 1970. What could I do this year with the pandemic? I voted by depositing my ballot in the town ballot box weeks ago. I am netvous thinking about all the guns and amunition in CT at yhe start of the pandrmic. So my sign? VOTE psinted from old student canvases left behind - VOTE and think of those who need support from our government. My statexis overlooked - not those “important” states. I stay informed and nowcI may pray as today in the election, November 3rd. The background of each painting is blood red oil paint. We are hemorrhaging lives in this country. I end all correspondence Stay Safe!!!
