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

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