Remote Learning Day 6: Mental Health in the age of Covid-19

Greetings Issues Scholars,
Today we'll start our new unit by assessing the impact of Covid-19 on our Mental Health. Here are your tasks:
1) Read Mental Health in the Age of Coronavirus
2) While the NY Times is no longer accepting submissions for the answer to David Brooks' questions, we can try to get our own read on our own psychological state right now. So, if you would be willing to describe how the coronavirus is affecting your mental health, please record a response in flipgrid (click the link) to any or all of the following questions:  Is the combination of isolation and existential stress making you feel more depressed and anxious? Or is the family togetherness and the pause from normal life giving you a greater sense of belonging and equilibrium? How would you describe your psychological state? What are you doing to cope?
NOTE-Your flipgrid response WILL count as this week's blog post.
