Some people are feeling intense feelings right now as a result of the pandemic. Is anything making you especially sad, angry, or hopeful right now? If so, what's on your mind?

I am often surprised that I am not having stronger feelings. I worry that I’ve become desensitized to the death and destruction of the pandemic. That being said, I am sad that we are a year into this devastation and I constantly see people continue to scoff at it, refuse to comply with recommendations, and disregard public safety. I often feel angry when I see “influencers” and celebrities posting about their ongoing travel and luxurious dining experiences. I am angry that the choices others make impact so many of us who are trying to remain diligent and I am sad that this is the best we can do.
