Truck driver José Mendoza has a Humana HMO plan through his employer. It has a $5,000 deductible and 50% coinsurance, leaving him financially vulnerable.

José Mendoza s snoring was bad but the silence when he stopped breathing was even worse for his wife, Nancy. The sudden quiet would wake her and she waited anxiously for him to take another breath.

Many of us have turned to artistic endeavors throughout the pandemic to fill some free time, writers included. While DC Public Library holds a number of titles about the “hard” side science and medicine of COVID-19, the books on this list explore the “soft” or social and psychological sides from both fiction and nonfiction perspectives. From a family travel memoir to a collection of meditations on what it means to be alone together, writers examine our lives since COVID-19 invaded, including a remarkable first-hand diary of COVID-19 in Wuhan.
Note: All titles are linked to their physical copies unless otherwise noted, and many are available as library e-books and/or e-audiobooks with OverDrive and its app Libby.
