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

<strong> There is still a sense that every day is the same.</strong> Generally, my state of mind shifts between hopefulness that we might actually begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but a part of me is also skeptical, especially since the vaccinations are advancing at a slow pace. Overall, I feel rather irritated much of the time, but I<strong> try to focus </strong> my mind<strong> on positive things, such as the possibility that I might see my family in Germany</strong> again in a few months.<strong> The joy</strong> of that prospect is<strong> diminished by the fact that my mum passed away last December, </strong> but it<strong> would be good to see the rest of my family</strong> again. Somehow I feel <strong> this would help me restore a sense of normalcy.</strong>
