I&#8217;ve had people ask me, &#8220;how are you making it during this time of social isolation.&#8221;My answer is very simple, I think of the hundreds of thousands of people that have been infected, I think of the health workers taking the disease head-on, and I think of all the families impacted. I say that to say this, my situation could be way worse than what it is right now. I may be bored and tired of sitting in the house doing nothing, but some people don&#8217;t even have that luxury.
