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

I was excited to see that eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine opened up. But then news broke of hundreds (millions?) of ruined doses, and everyone I talk to says how seemingly impossible it is to get vaccinated in Oregon, where I live. I was feeling so much more optimistic, buoyed, but now I've fallen back down a bit. I want to keep moving forward, but there seem to be so many hiccups. I know we've turned a corner and things are better than they've been, but I'm still impatient and restless, eager to be looking back on this time instead of continuing to muddle through it.
