Luckily no one in my direct family/circle has been health impacted. But this has definitely made me and my housemates, communities etc be much more mindful of those who are immunocompromised and medically more vulnerable. It is at times humbling and at times we need to alter our physical spaces to accommodate everyones wellness. A good practice for health and safety.

Unable to visit family and travel, been really sad about it

The pandemic has brought out a lot of insecurity in the community's health and access to healthcare. I think a lot of people are well aware that we don't have a strong healthcare infrastructure, and this just makes it more apparent. Plus, a single cough or minor sore throat causes so much more anxiety than usual.

It has been isolating and scary for my loved ones who are older or immunocompromised. I have seen how people have not been able to be socially distanced, and how people are forced to return to work because of capitalism...grrr...

Personally, it hasn't changed much in how I care for myself; growing up in a family with lots of health issues I started caring for my own health as soon as 16 years old. Community wise, I see it causing a lot of stress, uncertainty & worry.

COVID has impacted overall personal emotional/mental health - anxious about family, friends, kasamas getting sick. communities unable to have needs met - childcare, income for food, etc.

eating more fruits n veggies, started exercising n stretching at home more regularly, also i'm a homebody so my lifestyle hasn't changed too much since shelter-in-place >.< for loved ones, some family had COVID and recovered, some are immunocompromised so it's hard to see them. more daily gratitude for the blessings i do have: safe shelter, food, clean water :)

Started exercising...then stopped
