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

<strong> I've spent the last few days updating and repacking our family "Go Bags" in case of disaster. </strong> My living room floor is covered with flashlights, tarps, and crank radios, plus a hundred other things we might need if the Big One happens. None of it, though, is useful in our current disaster. <strong> How could we have been more prepared? </strong> Is it fair to even ask that question? <strong> Four members of my family have had COVID. One of them died</strong>. Another almost did. The other two were very ill.<strong> What could we possibly have done to predict or prevent that? Now we have a vaccine, so dammit people, get your shot.</strong> Apart from that, i just don't know.
