“Everyone was being affected by the coronavirus and no one was safe. Not only were people dying of the coronavirus, but I had people in my life suffering from other things.”
“Due to Covid-19, I have been in strict quarantine due to the fact that I live with my grandmother…Academically, this has also affected my ability to take the SAT and ACT, which is something I felt disappointed about because I spent so much time studying for them.”
“It’s been almost 365 days since everything took a turn for the worse, and most of us are still in shock. I could have it a lot worse but it is still pretty hard. I was getting less hours at work so it became difficult for my mom and I to pay our bills and expenses, grocery stores were almost completely empty…”
“Minha avó faleceu em abril e tornou tudo mais difícil. Não pude ter contato com familiares e tivemos que viver o luto também isolados. Foi horrível.”
“…a few weeks into quarantine, I went down to the kitchen for a late night snack, and saw my dad sitting there alone. He just started apologizing for how I couldn’t be in college and how everything was so upside down. Then he said, ‘After communism, I never thought I’d see the day we’d have to wait in lines to go to the grocery store with empty shelves again.’”
“个人消费大大降低。工作没那么忙碌，花更多时间带孩子，也同时非常焦虑，期待改变。”
