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

<strong> COVID is really getting in the way of seeing people I want to spend time with.</strong> N. had a meltdown and "I need a HUG!" and insists that becuase she is vaccinated, she can't be a carrier; but the science on that isn't in, and I'm hesitant. And I'm increasingly aware that I enjoy D. in person, but he's not as good an email buddy. And climate activism--forget it! THough I gotta say it's a lot easier to get people togehter for "meetings.' <strong> Next week I have a virtual MD appointment for a minor problem. Which probably would be resolved by now if I could get actual treatment with PT.</strong> But all I can do is get advice for self-treatment. Not to mention--need a tooth pulled, eye exam, PE--all of which are on hold. But after waiting through the interminable hold time on NH 211, <strong> I got my second vaccination moved up,</STRONG> to next Sunday! Great.<strong> Except--I'm living with E., who won't be vaccinated for months.</strong> So until we know whether I can be a carrier even though vaccinated, I<strong> have to take the same precuations</strong> as I have been. And I' thinking that <strong>if the Senate acquits Trump,</strong> which no doubt they will,<strong> we should all be in the streets. But no one has mentioned that, or is organizing anything...sigh.</strong> OTOH, this break from business as usual is really interesting and in many ways useful, to think through what one's doing, what's important etc.
