How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
Today brought me much happiness. Hubby and I visited the zoo—the first time we’ve been to any attraction in well over a year. With masks on and the initial Pfizer doses in our systems, we cautiously strolled through the botanical gardens (maintaining required distancing from other guests) and then zigzagged over winding paths that featured fascinating creatures at every turn. It was wonderful to be outdoors on such a gorgeous day and to hear the delighted laughs of others—young and old.

We’re seeing dramatic differences in rates of COVID infection, illness, and death in different places. What do you think about these differences?
I think that a lot has to do with the government telling the truth to the people. In NY we have a good governor who spoke to us everyday and gave us the latest facts, advising us what to do. We were able to bend the curve and get out of the pandemic. However, in other places people weren't given the same guidance and people were confused about what to do-- also in some cases government officials lied to people telling them everything was fine but it wasn't. I think the biggest problem is Donald Trump who just creates chaos everytime he opens his mouth. He lies and says stupid things and people got confused and didn't know what was going on. If he had been factual and consistent, we would've seen a better response all around the country.
