Abstract

Description

In an interview and musical rendition of "The Corona Blues," Participant 5 shares about techniques they used to manage life during the COVID-19 pandemic. The participant faces financial challenges due to COVID-19, but has started to grow vegetables in their garden to help battle food insecurity. The participant found comfort in playing various instruments and making music. In a post-pandemic world, the participant hopes for normalcy, but also does not want people to rush into it prematurely.
