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

I am not a Van Gogh type of person: I cannot be creative when I am depressed. But I have tried to do two things consistently throughout the pandemic: walk and read. These are the books I am currently reading. I also read the news everyday but I am trying to break that habit. I find myself in tears often - for instance, the continued assault on black people by racist police; reading that 10 people were shot in a supermarket; the attack on Asian Americans.
