How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
During this pandemic I have often felt bottled up, needing to escape. I tried to express my feelings through art showing some butterflies escaping to freedom. The situation with the pandemic has improved since the Covid vaccines are becoming available to more people. The situation across the country is quite disorganized when it comes to obtaining the vaccine. Some areas of the country are doing well, others not so good. The political divide between Republicans and Democrats has infiltrated our healthcare system. I hope that my plans to travel to Japan will happen this year, but I'm starting to doubt it.

Again the main thing on my mind is my beloved aunt, who now has an inpatient hospice bed in her country and is expected to die within a month. I'm just devastated. Meanwhile our local area is on a scary trend of covid cases just like the whole US. B and her family had to put their baby in day care because she can't care for him alone, and he got exposed to covid. Now he has covid symptoms so B has to isolate from him because of her risk level and they have no idea what they'll do if her husband has to be hospitalized. It's just so hard for people who already have disabling health conditions.
