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

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