I can relate to the title of your article being one of the vulnerable population. I must also say I live in tremendous Luxury in Naples Florida in comparison to many many other people in this country and world. In talking with my sister in Michigan we are putting a lot of energy daily into trying to get food delivered to us as we are avoiding going anywhere. I suppose that is a very trivial comparison to the unfortunate who spend their lives trying to get the things that they need to sustain themselves.

Several times when I’ve heard Jon coughing or he suddenly had a different symptoms I found myself afraid that he might have The virus. It is so important to have faith in yourself and God I know that you will rise above whatever happens and that is sustaining. I have observed through the years that people with little opportunity who have faith in themselves do rise up into a better life.

My clients who are isolated and have a need to control everything seem to have more fear. My clients that live in large homes with a yard and family have such a different experience from those in apartments especially in cities. Socio-economic status does make a difference in her quality of life. This can also be an opportunity to spend time with ourselves and others nearby and enable us to do the activities that we couldn’t do before.
