How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

I'm in the midst of public health graduate school pursuing an MPH in Epidemiology. This week has been one of the hardest due to school work and other stressors. Having everything be online, school and social activities, is getting exhausting. Additionally, not being able to have my friends from home visit or go back home to visit is really hard on my mental health. I'm too busy and tired of virtual communication, it's hard to stay connected and I feel like I'm losing touch with people back home. It's hard to know when it is safe for visits. I really miss the simplicity of social interaction pre-covid. Now everything is so complex and the thought of making a wrong move weighs heavy on my heart.
