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

I am a healthcare worker in a trauma one level hospital. ... In the month of April we received 175 consults 111 of them died. Now that the first wave is over and the hospital is quiet, I am still terrified of contracting the disease and spreading to others. It's always hanging over me when I see patients in the hospital. I continue to wear an N95 daily- which is uncomfortable. I am not sure we can handle another wave. I am infuriated at our current administration and how poorly he has and continues to handle this crisis. I do watch a little too much news. Our lives are forever changed, between COVID 19, the continue racism and inequities, failed leadership, where do we go from here?
