I made a video, because I was too lazy to write an article.
But, let me know your feelings and responses to my questions.

Victor Gibbs – I worry
Early morning, April 15, 2020, can’t sleep. Planetary alignment of moon and three planets rest in the southeastern sky. The corona virus has spread to almost every country on Earth in under three months’ time. Most of the world has been hiding and waiting for it to leave. I feel like I am living in real time through an amalgam of some old sci-fi movies. The Quiet Earth, The Andromeda Strain, Invasion of the Body Snatchers come to mind. A complete makeover for the planet.

Sonya Fe – Lilies in the field
My life hasn’t changed much . I am a studio artist and spend most my time in my studio. I don’t care to socialize much anyway except on Facebook , because there I have control to turn on or off . I don’t like social obligations . I have a very difficult time attending parties, events and social commitments. However, once I am there I do enjoy them . During this pandemic , I have found much peace.

Karen Conley – Corona Virus Reflections
I cut my hair this week. My husband won’t let me touch his, and one look in the mirror tells me why. He spent 28 years in the Army, and I wonder how long he will hold out on me. Maybe a Flobee would be a worthy purchase right now? They cost 139.00 and are back-ordered.

Linda Caray Rude – Strength
It is not a surprise for my family and friends, the pandemic has not been a problem for me. I will not allow negativity into my life, therefore all of the lifestyle changes, depression and deaths are literally life lessons. I always keep my supplies and food well stocked because I am aware that our lives can change in a heart beat

Catherine Lucas – While my heart is aching
All in all, while my heart is aching for the families who lost loved ones, my life is good. No, can’t go out, can’t do this or that, but there are so much things I still can do. We live next to the desert in Las Cruces, a big trail is leading from my house into it. So once a day I can take my two dogs and take a walk, avoiding people and enjoying the views.
Being made to shelter at home made me realize even more how happy a person I am to be able to enjoy my home. It is my nest, even in non-Corona times.

Jeff and Dennis Milligan-Lujan – Life during Corona pandemic
It was the beginning of March we had just finished up our annual erotic art show and was planning the spring art show that was right around the corner, we were already aware of a virus that was traveling throughout China. On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization issued a statement that the Corona virus, (Covid-19) be issued as a pandemic. The way it was transmitted at the onset was through contact of air borne fluids much like the flu

Cristina Fridenstine – Corona Virus 2020
A quasi self-quarantine – because let’s face it, the quarantine isn’t perfect nor is it fully enforced – has caused me to stop attending Spanish classes and practicing tai chi chih with a group at Senior Amigos. For three days a week before the pandemic, I had enjoyed a comfortable routine that gave my retirement some sort of structure. For three days a week, I mingled with seniors like me, folks from all walks of life, folks I otherwise would never have met given my mostly reclusive existence.

Natalie Walston Abbott – The philosophers were right
It’s living in your pajamas each day and wiping down every surface while avoiding another human with the COVID19 virus. The person is now nocturnal as to stay away from me.
I used to be in public relations, a hired gun so-to-speak for lobbying groups

Robert McNamara – The Tale of Two Pandemics
COVID-19 has been a tale of two pandemics for me… one in New Mexico and the other in New York City where I was born and raised and where many family members and friends still live. Thus far, the New Mexico version of this crisis has been manageable. Being under a stay-at-home order here has been relatively simple, compared to what we would have experienced in our 20th floor apartment in Manhattan.
