I am an epidemiologist. I look at data and try to make sense of and apply them for a living. I moved to New York City a year ago. A pandemic broke out in March. I have been thinking and feeling all sorts of things as I was living and working in the city as the emerging COVID epicenter. Instagram and Twitter were too cumbersome for all of my thoughts, so I decided to create a blog. I wanted to have a safe space for me to process and write about my experiences during this strange time.
