Any other information you’d like to share about yourself: I love reading, my mom’s dad has COVID, and my mom was working with the patients and living in our basement. She will have to do this again.

“My biggest fear is having COVID-19 spread to my family. I guess it’s time to face my fear because my grandpa has it. Something difficult about quarantine is that I cannot see my other family and friends. A positive side of the virus is that pollution is reducing a lot. My mom was quarantined for 2 weeks in our basement because she was working with the patients. She used to just be a pediatric hematologist-oncologist. Now, every 6 weeks, she has to work with these patients. I really just DON’T LIKE this.”
