Think about the people closest to you. Tell us about how the coronavirus has affected them, and their life.

The one person I feel is affected the most as a result of this pandemic is my almost 16 year old sister. She can't just drive anywhere, and she no longer goes to school, so all her social interaction has gone down the drain. She's lucky to get to call her friends, but with increasing animosity between her and my parents specifically around phone usage, she's been able to talk to them less and less. And at that specific age, I know that she'd much rather be talking to her friends than her parents, and I try to help accommodate that need by interrupting arguments on her side and trying to cheer her up every once in a while. I plan on taking her to Friendly's tomorrow and hopefully I can distract her from what will be a pretty sucky sophomore year. Hopefully the next 2 years are better, especially because I won't be home to say hi as much.
