We hear a lot these days about the economic impact of the pandemic. Has this been on your mind? If so, tell us what you're thinking.

When I think about the economic impact of the pandemic it makes my head spin. There are so many aspects and it is hard to focus on them or feel like one has a good sense of the impact. I feel that for some people this is a crisis moment, esp for those in third world countries where work has been impacted and basic survival is a challenge in the best of times. This also is the case in the States in some industries, but it isn't universal. Some people are really benefiting, others are languishing, and some are in the middle. For me, it has affected my life because I am a long hauler and can't work in my regular occupation but do receive Unemployment. Unemployment is slated to end at the end of the month and then I am not sure what's next as I haven't heard of many people with Long Covid qualifying for disability benefits. So, I guess we will see. Thankfully, my husbands job has stayed the same during the pandemic.
