A new respiratory virus called the 2019 novel Coronavirus or COVID-19 making headlines for causing an outbreak of respiratory illness throughout the world. The outbreak began in Wuhan, Hubei province, China and quickly spread internationally including to the United States. Thousands of people have become sick and public health officials are keeping a close watch on how the virus is spreading.
The Covid-19 pandemic has been a very difficult time for the whole world and mainly for me. pregnant with twins and far from my family, my daughter, we had to fight and face this pandemic. staying confined for about 1 month, no longer visiting relatives and friends made it even more difficult.
All the activities are closed, we could not go to the restaurant, the beach. We could not do anything.
I was very stressed when I watched CNN, Abc news or France 24 because the news was very alarming. the number of infected people and deaths in the usa and mainly in New York was very scary. I was wondering if I was going to escape this disease, would I see my daughter whom I love so much and my parents in my countries? I cried every day whenever the rate went up.
A neighbor of mine was went quickly to the hospital and never came back. I was in total panic when I had to go to the hospital for my antenatal visits. In my country, manie important personne are died such as the representative of all imams who has a very important role and many others . With the help of my husband, I managed to keep my calm and request help from our creator God praying had become for me the voice to be spared, to be safe .
I did everything to respect the barrier measures when it was necessary to leave the house. it was really the change, you had to get used to wearing the mask, the disease has changed our lifestyle.
The whole world will remember this pandemic.
We hope that the vaccine is made available as soon as possible so that life can start again.

Brenda Marin
My name is Brenda Marín, I’m from Guatemala and now I living in New York.
In this Pandemic has affected my work because it is now closed. My job is retreat house and Catholic Radio Station . At the moment the only thing that is open are the offices and the radio Statin and we have events via Zoom, Facebook and YouTube.
The problem is that in my work many months of rent and electricity, water and many other expenses are owed. At the moment we have work but it is not known what will happen if it is going to close completely and if so we will be left without work.
But we trust in God that we can get out of these problems. Everything has been fine with my family. Thank God no one has gotten sick with Covid 19. The good that I have been able to share with my coworkers, with some since not all are working for the same problem of the Pandemic that there are not enough funds to pay them all, but I have shared with the few what there is. We have cooked our favorite dishes from our countries.
Today I cooking Farm Hen Soup, Guatemalan style rice and Tortillas.
In the Soup I put vegetables, cilantro, onions, potato, green and red peppers, tomatoes, yucca, carrot, chayote, celery, zucchini and chicken flavors.
This is what I have done in the pandemic, cooking and praying for the people who need it, I also do the Rosary and programs on the radio preaching the word of God to help the people who need it right now. Since many people call for prayer for the sick and infected with the covid -19 and also for the families who have died.
I like my job because I can help people who want to know about God and who need it. I am attaching a video of the food I made today and some photos of my work. Many thanks to the Impact Community for all the help they give us and for teaching us English and many thanks to all the teachers they are very good and thanks to them I am learning a lot. May God continue to bless you today and always.
Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. Thanks to all the teachers for all their dedication and patience with me to learn. I appreciate it.

Cesarina Concepción
I am Cesarina Concepcion, I want to share my story in this difficult time. I'm single mother , I lives with my daughter and mother. When the pandemic started I was getting up from my divorce. The Covid 19 has changed my life in different ways, for example my mother lost her job, my daughter didn't go to the school because it's closed , I don't lost my job but my Employer was giving less hour for hard situacion caused by pandemic. I was so worried because my salary didn't cover my bill and I can't buy enough food.
Now my mother don't find a job yet, but I'm working more hours, I didn't worry for the bill. Im happy because I found the way the go back to take English because the class is online before the pandemic I can't do it because I don't have someone to take to my daughter. I'm feeling my life going better.
Other thing , I'm want to say thank you because anybody in my family died for the Covid 19 and we are healthy.
I'm so hopeful that all this almost will end and our live will return to normal.
God bless to everyone.

The COVID-19 has been happening all year, but it’s not over yet. This year has changed my lifestyle. I didn’t leave my house for three months. Daily necessities and consumer goods delivered through online shopping.
My happiest thing is to keep taking English lessons online every day! I am very grateful to the teachers of ESOL for teaching carefully and improving every student. It has improved my grammar, reading and writing. I will persist in studying and not relax!

The pandemic has affected so many of us in many different ways. Many of our families have been broken and we have not been able to see them. Jobs have been lost and our physical and psychological health has deteriorated. This has caused the economy to go down.
In the beginning of the Pandemic my parents were sick. My father was very bad. He had a fever every day, could not breathe, and his oxygen saturation was less than 93%. He fainted twice. This moment was very difficult for my family, but thank God, my father never was hospitalized and he is good now. My mother tested positive for COVID 19 too, but she did not present any symptoms.
I lost my job, but the good of this I could to do a work out every day. I could make good food, and I was able to lose weight. In general, I was feeling good and healthy. I spent more time with my fiance, studied more all because I had more time for these things. In my lifetime, I have never been in quarantine or seen so many people die in the world. Due to the lack of knowledge of this disease in the hospitals and deaths, people have lived in stress and panic.
Our lives have changed because every person needs to wear a mask, we must keep a social distance of six feet. Socially we are all affected. We can't go to movie theaters, or big parties because you never know who could have the Corona virus since many people are asymptomatic. Finally, every person needs to wash their hands for 20 seconds, use hand sanitizer. and follow different health rules. The positive of this is that the pandemic is not forever. One day it will end, and there will be a better tomorrow.

The covid 19 changed my life and my family's life. Many of my family lost their jobs and some of them also got sick, here and in my country. It has also been very difficult to visit my family less, but I tried to stay strong and I hope this time ends soon. However, the corona times has been able to reduce some of my bad habits, such as always going to restaurants and not being around my family and this pandemic helps us save many and spend less. This was my story about the covid 19 pandemic.

On January 20, 2020, the United States President, Donald Trump, received a health advisory regarding the new strain of Covid that had become a pandemic, Covid 19. The president didn't tell anyone and made one feel that he was playing with his own people, the people he was suppose to lead and defend and protect. The President didn't pay attention to the advisory, and began mocking the already affected countries, and the health officials that were warning against the pandemic. He repeatedly stated that the pandemic was a political hoax against him and that Covid was not real. Thousands in the nation are still dying from Covid 19, but he doesn't care. He said "Do not be afraid because the Covid isn't true, in June everything will be finished". After that statement, a quarantine was placed in the month of March and we're still living under it partially.
We have been living the past nine months in partial quarantine.This has brought controversy in society because the human beings weren't born to be enclosed and deprived from freedom. We like gathering together, and breathing freely. Before the Covid 19, we lived normal lives, but the isolation has made people go mad. Mother's can't manage their children, and families can't gather together.
Many people refuse to put on a mask because it's excessively uncomfortable it makes the people irritated due to the difficulty of breathing. We see how teachers and students struggle throughout this the situation. One can feel sorry for the children, because all of these changes can scar a child for life.
I am an elder person, 70 years of age, and I have difficulty learning, you can imagine a child who comes into this completely changed world. Children not learning in a traditional way, interacting with others, and having problems that can only be solved by an actual human interaction. What will happen to children whose parents do not speak English. Who is going to help them?
This quarantine had made everyone crazy. God help us, because our president doesn't want to help. He decided not to do his job. I suggest to Mr. Trump to leave the presidency, with dignity, and leave the mess to President Elect Joe Biden. He seems more competent to lead the country to victory, against Covid. Biden will complete the job of manufacturing the vaccine that can help the rest of the population. Trump is the worst President that the USA has ever had.
Finally PFIZER LAB is giving America hope, with the proposed vaccine which is being manufactured to combat Covid deaths. There are a couple of companies ready to distribute the vaccine, and hope for a quick approval. They stated that the vaccine is approximately 95% effective. Their plan is to prioritize those that are at risk, and their health workers, essential workers, the elderly and children and teachers. Until then, Dr. Fauci says the way to prevent the spread of Covid is: wearing a mask, washing or hands frequently, and maintaining social distancing guidelines.

Raissa Torres: My Story about the Pandemic Covid-19
My Story of the Pandemic, Covid-19, is that of other people, that they were not prepared for this event. I am a home attendant, I have to work with patients with different health conditions.
At the beginning of the Covid-19. l was working since March 25, 26, 27, during this day I couldn’t wear the mask, because the patient said that she didn’t want me to wear a mask and gloves. I explained that I have to use them to protect her health and mine. When I got home I felt sick, I had muscle pain, I lost smell and taste, and very much tired. I called my coordinator in my agency three times , talk to her before since house patient , but she said put on my mouth a handkerchief for protection and keep working, but I told him I was sick. I was going to make an appointment with my doctor. Later I consulted my doctor and he did an exam on Covid-19. One week after diagnosis is positive. My doctor recommended for me to take medicine, wash my hands, be in a room separated from my children and my grandson and my granddaughter and the following treatment for my doctor.
At this moment I felt lonely, sad and stressed; because I couldn’t work, my economy was low of a secure income weekly to nothing that my family offered. During the Pandemic my family and I had to request food from the government. I gave unemployment to survive this crisis of the Pandemic, which changed the economy and health in the lives of all people of the world.
The positive of this situation is family gets more time together, opportunity to speak, find a solution to your problem, eat together at the table every day and be more united with family. I have faith and hope for this Virus to end and let’s get together again and hug.
