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

I've been in Texas, Arkansas, and Missouri this past week. People don't wear masks around here (other than people working in stores).I am trying to keep my distance, and I am avoiding public places. No one talks about COVID around here. I'm guessing most people aren't vaccinated either. Flying here was a concern, but I wore an N95 mask and a humanity shield the whole way. Some people on the plane were not wearing their masks over their noses and some were eating and drinking, so couldn't wear their masks at all times. I've become such a germaphobe. Hopefully I won't get COVID. Turns out my boss caught COVID from her boyfriend (I knew that was coming). She's recovering now. Now another colleague is sick. I hope she doesn't have COVID, but I'll find out soon. It's all such a drag and a concern. One day at a time. I fly out of here tomorrow. Not looking forward to wearing a mask and shield for another long flight. It is hard to breathe and it gets all fogged up.
