Read MoreNot being able to see my grandfather through this pandemic and also having this dangerous virus around knowing that it could lead to death scares me. Also,having to know that anyone 's time is limited on this earth because of a virus makes me mad and breaks my heart because no one should go through it alone or with just a few family members around.
Have you ever had that one family member who never gets sick, so when they do it's concerning?
I won't lie that the work is much harder to do
I discovered on March 24th a post of a letter stating that residents “living here had to be out by 6 pm tomorrow evening” not even 24 hours notice. And the excuse all along was that it’s a “mandated order from the state of New York “ however I think a formal email in the midst of the turmoil would have sufficed much more than word of mouth. There were students like myself that had returned home, some had other engagements or loved ones to look after and no time to return to move their items out.
…the Coronavirus has made it harder for me to purchase items I use on a regular basis, such as hand sanitizer and various foods. Unfortunately, the outbreak has caused people to panic buy things they most likely do not need, and that has led to stores like Target, a store I frequent, to have empty shelves, shelves that were once filled with items just days prior.

From THE CITY NY
New York City Housing Authority employees are walking into tenants’ apartments and making repairs — including nonemergency fixes — without wearing protective masks.
NYCHA officials say the masks are on “backorder.”
We obtained emails of NYCHA building managers trading horror stories of coronavirus taking a toll in absences, illnesses and worse in a housing system where one in five of the 400,000 residents is 62 or older.
