How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

I have not written in several weeks.<strong> We still have positive patients in the hospital, although that number has decreased significantly. I hope it is because people are getting vaccinated and/or heeding the CDC guidelines. I also hope that people realize that even though they have been vaccinated, masks and physical distancing are still required</strong>. I have traveled to visit my mom and sisters recently. They have been vaccinated, so it was nice to not wear a mask and to be able to really hug them. On the way there, my husband and I<strong> stopped at a Dairy Queen</strong> and decided to have a treat. There was only one other person there, so I wasn't concerned until I realized that<strong> NONE of the employees were wearing masks! I could not get out of there fast enough and will not stop there again. So, there are still idiots out there who have no concern for others</strong>. I still don't see us being out of this pandemic any time soon.<strong> Vaccine rates are nowhere near what they need to be for us to reach herd immunity. So, wear your masks, wash your hands, and stand at least 6 feet apart!</strong>
