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 I'm trying to be a good mask wearer even though I am fully vaccinated. This struck home the last two days when 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. I wanted to scream at him but it was 6AM PT and I was too tired. But I kept thinking "is this what awaits me in Nashville?" 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? That continues to worry me. That not enough people are vaccinated.
