Current city, state, country: Playa Del Rey, CA, USA

My day job: Real Estate Manager

This pandemic makes me feel like: The world, and certainly the US, is not prepared for this pandemic.

This pandemic makes me think: Prayer, patience and compassion is greatly needed.

This pandemic makes me hope/pray for: That elected officials, scientists and frontline defenders will use wisdom and discernment as we search for solutions.

What I think of the federal government’s response: Slow, unorganized. The president needs to let the professionals do their jobs.

If I had three wishes: 1. A national day of prayer. 2. For old white men to accept that they don’t know what’s best for everyone 3. That the antiviral made pizza and ice cream healthy.

Before this pandemic, my plans for the next 6 months were: Work hard to get ready for a summer of traveling, home renovation and learning to garden.

Predictions for when this will get better/end: I think the world as we know it has changed forever.

What I have in my fridge/freezer and pantry: Veggies in the fridge, cereal in the pantry and ice cream in the freezer.

Ways I’m coping: Prayer! Spending quality time with my family.

General advice/thoughts/anxieties to share with others: Stay calm, be compassionate, remember to look at others as individuals not as the representative of an entire group
