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

I have found myself wondering if this pandemic will last more than another 12 months - could it be two years? How will that change our whole society? It feels like we are adrift as a society - Europe seems to have it under control. Australia has hardly been touched. Canada likewise is weathering this - and the cases have EXPLODED in most of the country. Our state, Connecticut, seems like a little raft in a sea of disease - and as the CNN folks said this evening, it can all come back. Learning that antibodies don't seem to last long was a hit as well. Our president is inept, the economy is reeling, and we have no idea how long this will reverberate. It is scary. But then, I just turn back to my own work, writing, gardening, sewing, cooking, cleaning, repainting rooms, doing zoom with friends, calling family ... watching an evening mystery series, reading, sleeping and then starting over again. It is a strange new world.
