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

I'm on a Greek island now ..., and while cases are rising in different parts of Greece, things here remain calm. I get angry seeing some people acting 'resistant' and not wanting to socially distance or even wear their mask properly. On the island here, though people have been quite careful from the beginning, I see a phenomenon called 'the little mask' worn by many professionals in the restaurant business. It's a patent made and sold locally, and this 'mask' is a piece of plastic which is attached to the lower chin, and only covers the mouth, not the nose. It's also quite removed from the mouth, and I am not sure it truly protects anyone, really. If someone were to sneeze wearing this, I am not sure anyone around this person would be protected. I also hear more and more people are starting to spread the 'conspiracy' rumor, though I am not exactly sure what this conspiracy is. Something about Bill Gates, or 5G, or how 'THEY' want to control 'US'. Also, many people reason that, since they don't have someone close to them who has been directly affected, it must be 'terrorism' spread by governments and the media.
