What has given you strength/ are there any unexpected positives from Covid19?
Postives: Teaching me patience and understanding of a bigger picture than just myself and my health being at stake. It’s really hard to say much has given me strength through these times, the only way is taking it day by day.
Who do you wear a mask for?
