How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
We're back in the office full time this week, although numbers are still high and no one wears their mask appropriately. Fun, depressing fact: I work for public health. My employer has also made it clear they will offer no flexibility for childcare, even if a child must quarantine, and they don't care about us carrying COVID home to our families. So, I've decided to quit. My last day is Friday. I don't have a new job yet, but I have a few interviews lined up (all remote positions). After this pandemic, I'm not going to waste my time in an organization that doesn't care about my health (while they should!).

It gets worse every day. A second lockdown in Israel - no comparison to the first one. exhausted, empty, mad. Angry about the political situation. I am fighting with everyone around me. a few days ago we finally arranged a "corona summer-school" for a group of kids in the neighborhood. now at least I have a few hours break each day from my 24/7 position as home-schooling teacher for 2 little girls. but even now I am not entirely alone. my husband is here, in our small apartment, depressed as well. i think that living with a depressed person is even more depressing than being depressed yourself. I am exploding and everything outside of me is so still. my birthday wish: to sit in a cafe, when they will reopen, all by myself. just this. to sit still and stare at the city moving.
