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

I am so ticked off right now! My family and I got our Vaccines as quickly as we were able. We saw it as the beginning of the end of this pandemic. We had been wearing our masks, religiously, for a year. We've kept our hands clean. So much so that the skin on our hands have been dry and cracked. We worked from home, for a year. Our kids have gone to school via Zoom, even when they longed to just be normal, with their friends. We have given up so much! We have been so careful, and up until now, we have been able to avoid catching Covid. Now, thanks to the poor choices of others, our state is back to where we were a year ago! We have gone backwards! Now I'm back to wearing a mask and taking all of the abuse from deniers who have some kind of stupid objection to me keeping myself and my family safe from them! When I hear about some anti-vaccine person dying from Covid, I'm having a hard time even feeling sad about it. I hate that this is what I've become... but there we are.
