X : Do you know anyone impacted by COVID?
Me : Everyone? But if you're talking impacted directly then numerous friends have had COVID, a couple have been hospitalised (including family members) and then I have good friends who work in healthcare and I've seen their trauma ...

... if you're talking death, then just one in a very extended circle. We've been lucky so far, it's a vicious disease.
X : Yourself?
Me : Well, I look for the positives even in a crisis. At the very least I try to be a rock - more time with family, more social interaction due to less travel. Hell, I've even lost weight but I feel a constant pressure towards that dreaded phone call.

X : How long do you think this will go on for?

X : How do you mentally steel yourself?
