How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

<strong> In the UK, last Monday (17th May) was meant to be the day that everyone was allowed to hug each other again, go to things indoors, eat indoors in restaurants etc.</strong> However, <strong> my area was one of two in the country to have high covid rates</strong> and we were<strong> locked down again</strong> for damage control with no one (technically) allowed in or out of the county except for essential journeys. This means<strong> my parents had to cancel their holiday,</strong> which they were upset about.<strong> But I still see people on facebook and instragram from the area posting pictures from other places in the country </strong>- clearly they are not obeying the rules. It is<strong> so infuriating</strong> that some people are giving up so much whereas others just do as they please the entire time.<strong> The pandemic has really shown how some people are self-centred at heart</strong> and completely impatient and want instant gratification<strong> whereas others are much more community-minded and able to play the long game for future happiness.</strong>
