Response: Throughout the pandemic, many people have lost their jobs. The payments they were used to getting in their paychecks each week before the pandemic hit are now replaced with either nothing, welfare benefits, or unemployment benefits. I'm sure that those who have lost so much have experience so much gloom lately. They can no longer make a mortgage payment. It is a relief that they still exist and have not given in to suicide. There has been so much depression because of something that no one on earth can control. I'm hoping and praying that the gloom will disappear once there is a vaccine.
