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

I am a business owner who has to deal with the public so it really affected my business.There was an over all affect on my life because I have a lot of older family members so I can not go around them because of their fear of exposure.I was more worried about my parents and older siblings than myself.<strong> I got COVID when I was in prison and the health care system sucks in there.</strong> I had to persevere through my trials and tribulations to survive.<strong> I actually caught COVID twice</strong> the first time I did feel bad it was hard to get out of bed cause I had severe symptoms like flu symptoms but a little worse.Then<strong> when the institution finally started to test people almost 800 out 1000 people had COVID at the institution I was at.That was sad to see people dying and health fall apart</strong> because of a unknown source.My<strong> second time</strong> having COVID I did not have any symptoms but I tested positive for almost six weeks this<strong> really put a strain on my respiratory system cause I have asthma</strong> and have already had upper respiratory infections so<strong> contracting COVID absolutely frightened me cause I didn’t want to possibly pass away with out any family or support.</strong>
