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

My husband told me he misses the food trucks downtown at lunch time. Pre-pandemic, he would often go to a food truck for a quick, affordable lunch. He could choose among many food options, but his favorite was Thai (a noodle dish). When my husband returned to the office, initially just a few days a week, and now every day, he quickly noticed the absence of the food trucks. What happened to those folks? Have they found another way to support themselves and their families? It is still very quiet in downtown D.C. We heard on the news that office occupancy has just gotten above a third of the pre-pandemic levels. It is sad. Cities need the hustle and bustle; the mingling of different people and diverse occupations and businesses.
