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

It's<strong> hard to shop for Christmas stocking presents online!</strong> (Even harder to get them where they need to go in a timely way.) <strong> My two-person "pod' is at risk.</strong> My young friend wants to sign up to be a teacher's aide, in person. That means she'd be at risk several days each week, which would make it hard/impossible for us to continue to live togehter. That's a pretty scary prospect:<strong> I've certainly lived alone, but not pandemic-alone.</strong> But my job is to be a good mom-equivalent, so I can't try to influence her. <strong> If it weren't for the pandemic I'd be in Georgia canvassing! Aarghh.</strong> The limits on hand-on helping is so frustrating. Same with climate: no direct action, no civil disobedience. The stuff we can do feels so pale compared to the need for action.<strong> But it feels stupid to risk COVID for a sit-in.</strong>
