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

I have deliberately avoided journaling for the past few weeks. I just didn't want to think about what is happening. The surge is here. Our COVID ICU is full and some patients are in the overflow area now. The COVID floor, which only had part of it blocked off for COVID patients, has now been fully opened. I see the daily positive numbers for our county increase every day. We're back to that crazy, busy, hectic pace that leaves me exhausted and in a daze. The fact the people are still not wearing masks and keeping a safe distance boggles my mind. We are going on a year of dealing with this. What will it take for everyone to take it seriously?
