1/ The @TexasTribune has heard from more than 5,500 people about how the #coronavirus is impacting them.

These stories are helping power our journalism.

Here are some examples of how we're sharing the voices of every day Texans right now.

2/ @AliyyaSwaby spoke to Texas parents who are struggling to find child care and food as school districts across the state close.

Parents like Celina Cabral, who is home with her four children, a spotty internet connection and a dwindling supply of food.

3/ @emmaplatoff spoke to Texans who are immunocompromised.

Texans like Tessa Phillips, who has had a weak immune system. What might be a cold or bronchitis for a healthy person can turn into walking pneumonia for her.

4/ @MitchellFerman spoke to Texans who can't work from home while facing financial uncertainty.

Texans like Mercedes Gutierrez, a full-time Lyft driver. The economic impact of social distancing will be felt hardest by workers like her. bit.ly/3a1QaXd

5/ @ewaltersTX spoke with an oncology nurse treating cancer patients — some with suppressed immune systems.

She has a fever and a cough — and she can’t get the coronavirus test. bit.ly/3cYy7TU

6/6 We have more work to do.

We're looking to hear from medical professionals, Texans experiencing telemedicine, people who have taken a COVID-19 test and anyone with a story to share. texas-tribune.forms.fm/help-us-cover-…
