My biggest worry is the mental health effects from all of this. And I don’t mean the anxiety of the virus, the virus is very dangerous, but I think the mental health of people is also very much destroyed. Being stuck in your home is causing even more anxiety. My kids are already thinking about going back to school and they’re anxious about it. I’m trying to stay light and let them know that it’s going to be ok.
If the global COVID-19 pandemic was a test, then the United States is failing it. We are in the middle of a historic health crisis and are walking off the edge of an economic cliff; yet, much of America carries on as if life were normal. Fuconomy’s goal is to bring the struggles of the pandemic into focus by curating stories from the people most affected by it. We provide a safe space for people to share their experiences and offer their support during these unprecedented times. The pandemic and its impact have proven to be too complex for any single lens. Our philosophy is to create a new collaborative way to tell the broader story so we can all understand it and our nation better.
