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

Washington state has always been rather slow and steady when it comes to covid ( except foe the nursing home outbreaks in the beginning) and this is maybe because 75% of WESTERN Washingtonians wear their masks. Not sure what those east of the mountains are doing. BUT like everyone else we are trending upwards, just at a slower pace. I found out that my library system wants to open the doors to patrons soon, and being in a high risk group does not exempt you from being called back. If push comes to shove, I may have to retire early. I love my job but not more than I love my life. And I did not plan on spending my retirement years DEAD or with the debilitating effects of long term COVID-19.
