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

My son got his first shot this week. He has been extremely careful throughout. We have also been careful, but not as preoccupied as my son. We let friends who have been vaccinated into our home, with which he has not been entirely comfortable. I wonder if his careful approach prevails amongst his age group. Perhaps we will be able to see more people after he gets his second shot. Maybe he will feel safe enough to travel to go visit his girlfriend in Seattle. She stayed at our house from September through early January. During that span, I had some business associates come from out of town. We had lunch indoors on a very sparsely attended restaurant. When I got home, my son made me quarantine. Set me up in a far corner of the house and made me stay for ten days. In retrospective he was right, one of the visitors got Covid.
