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

Derek Chauvin was convicted in the murder of George Floyd today. It's hard to think about anything else, including COVID. It's interesting to think about how something could loom even larger than the pandemic. All adults in the US became eligible for vaccination yesterday, and I was expecting to have to wait months for a vaccine appointment. I was able to secure my first shot for just over a week from today, and I'm excited. I feel like I'll be able to breathe a little easier once I'm fully vaccinated. I'm even hopeful for a short trip out of state to visit a friend. I'd be terrified to get on a plane without being vaccinated.
