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

This week the coronavirus pandemic affected my life in several ways. Both of my next-door neighbors are fighting the virus along with one of my best friends. I am helping them out the best I can by offering food to drop off and running any errands for them. I am seeing cases rise at the hospital, as I watch the Emergency Department intake board grow with at least 25% or more patients that are Covid positive. The staffing shortages and burnout among healthcare workers are at an all-time high. Now, here we go again with our "4th surge". This is truly the pandemic of the unvaccinated. 95% of the Covid positive patients are unvaccinated and taking up the few hospital beds that are available. So many reasons why people need to get vaccinated against Covid, save another life, save their own and help ease the burden on the healthcare system.
