How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
M R are the Initials of my uncle.. we lost him due to corona virus. His absence is loud. He left us his beautiful little kids. To always look out for. I miss you everyday. So does the kids and my mom. The last time I saw you was on my birthday.. You came to give me a birthday hug and apologize for not bringing a gift. I told you all I want is for you to take good care of your self. After that I didn’t didn’t know much about you. Till I found out you were in the hospital. Then got the call that you passed away. I didn’t believe it much and had hope you were still here and that the doctors made a identification mistake. But then the day came when I saw your coffin. I was the first one to give you a rose when they set you down in the ground. I was also the first one to let the white balloon go as we all say goodbye. I love you and will always remember you. Rest in Eternal Peace tio.

Talk about what you think the world will be like after the pandemic is over.
We humans are adaptable. We fight as hard as we can to forget events as soon as they are over. Some of us even deny events that are happening now. What do you expect, in a world where some folks argue the world is not round? When I went to college and grad school, I studied the humanities. But now I work with scientists, and I've come to appreciate all that the scientific approach has brought. So much of our lives has been made possible through science and technology: the food we eat, the buildings and transport systems we enjoy, the internet which keeps us employed and occupied. Scientific research brought us a highly effective Covid-19 vaccine, in an astonishingly short amount of time. After this pandemic crisis is over, the scientists will continue to do research. Hopefully the rest of us non-scientists will gain a finer appreciation for what science has done for us. Respect and fund science!
