L.F., 56, a manager in Rockville, MD

Time to kill? No, I wish I had more time. I had a good excuse to sleep until I wake up naturally. Thanks to MetOpera, Bolshoi Theatre of Russia, The Show Must Go On, etc theatres, I enjoyed so many operas, ballets I had no time or opportunity to watch.

I spent a couple of hours each day to follow the development of the pandemic, learn the latest knowledge about the virus and how I can protect my family, my friends, also followed predictions how to pandemic would evolve. This helped to ease anxiety.

I worked from home, so my daily workload didn’t decrease. But I still squeeze out some time to do exercise and keep in touch with friends via Zoom.

I feel we had to co-exist with the coronavirus. I am preparing the new normal for the coming days.
