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

I am trying to stay balanced. I am trying not to be worried about the big box chains that no longer require masks to enter. Meanwhile<strong> I'm trying to be a good mask wearer even though I am fully vaccinated.</strong> This struck home the last two days when<strong> I left California and traveled to Kentucky to see my family. I was particularly bothered by a man on the flight who continued to wear his mask below his nose</strong>. I wanted to scream at him but it was 6AM PT and I was too tired. But<strong> I kept thinking "is this what awaits me in Nashville?"</strong> <strong>I feel this continued anxiety that the US is on the precipice - could we become like India where we proclaim victory against the Coronavirus and then fall victim to not achieving herd immunity? </strong>That continues to worry me. That not enough people are vaccinated.
