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

<strong> A couple of things have occupied my feelings this week. One is my daughter's recovery. She had lost her senses of taste and smell, which seem now to have returned.</strong> Her main symptom, which has lingered, is tiredness. (I can't see it as fatigue, more just tired all the time.) Obviously the side effect of the pandemic is that I can't be with her and have to rely on phone calls to find out how sh's doing. <strong> The second thing is the pathetic roll-out of the vaccine here in Massachusetts.</strong> Many of my friends in other states have already gotten their second doses. I have no idea when they will make my group (over 65) eligible, nor how long I will have to wait for an appointment, or where I'll have to go.<strong> I'm really scared, living as I do in a high-risk community.</strong> This has kept me even more isolated and nervous to go out.
