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

My husband has been the only other person here in my "bubble" . We have not had anyone else in our home for 10 months. We have only been with people outside, masked and distanced. My husband is very reclusive. He is one of Illinois exonerated death row inmates and suffers from PTSD. Lock down because of covid19 is heaven for him! Nothing in his life has really changed. He is an organic vegetable farmer and never liked leaving the farm. Because all my activities have been put on hold he is the sole source of my in person interaction. That is difficult for him. Because his life hasn't really been affected he does not share my sense of loss of all the things that made up who I am as a person.
