<strong> I looked forward for the second vaccine. Maybe because it gave me something to look forward to.</strong> I counted the days between the first and the second shots, and read about the increased protection that each day brings. <strong> Now that I got it, there’s nothing to look for. Again. </strong>All days are the same. Still in lockdown, we don’t really see the end of it. The infection numbers in Israel are increasing although about 20% of the population already received the second shot. My daughters are still underemployed and edgy. My partner still deppressed. I am still terribly lonely.<strong> This is the second shot deppression: understanding that it doen’t bring any instant cure, that the way out is not near.</strong> In the picture: people waiting in line for the first vaccine in Rabin Square.
