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

One of the things I've really grown to love about this pandemic is that I'm walking more outside. I LOVE these walks-- I go to Central Park and I've started to get intimately acquainted with all the plants, trees, animals and other things I see there on the route I take everyday. I've bonded with the park and my neighborhood in a way that I never had prior to this pandemic. I feel more grounded to the place I live and am now more observant of everything around me than before when I used to rush around back and forth from the office and spending so much time underground in the subway. I hope I never have to go back to the previous life. This one seems so much healthier.
