Think about the people closest to you. Tell us about how the coronavirus has affected them, and their life.

My mom and I take every precaution in the book. So does my boyfriend and his family, as their 68-year-old Nana lives with them. My mom is over 60, and so is her boyfriend, and I tutor a few times a week. I take every precaution under the sun besides staying inside and not leaving my house. My dad on the other hand thinks COVID is a hoax to incite fear. He goes to church with 40+ people, doesn't wear a mask, and refuses to get tested. I don't live with him. My brother goes back and forth living with my mom and my dad, but for some reason he doesn't think COVID is as bad as it is. He takes precautions, but doesn't see the problem in my dad not taking them. My mom now works from home all the time, same with her boyfriend. I do school online, driving up once a week for a class we have outside. I tutor twice a week, mask on always. My boyfriend works remotely, his sister goes to high school, his mom and dad work and take all precautions. I miss hugging and seeing my friends and going to the gym and being around people, but I am making do with what I have. I am so appreciative that I am healthy, but it doesn't make it easier sometimes. It's hard for everyone.
