- i haven't made an entry in a while because each week felt the same -- but last week me and my fiancé both got sick, and we were really really worried ... the area I'm in is pretty rural ... people don't really wear masks, and it's kind of concerning ... we both have our first shot but haven't been able to have our second one, which was scheduled for the week we got sick ... I don't know who's vaccinated and who just doesn't care

How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
- This past week it hasn't affected my life so much even though I work in a restaurant - A customer did ask me to take off my mask so they could see my face... says a lot about the service industry and also the pandemic situation, and how service folks are expected to put their health on the line - One of the neighborhood kids wanted to play with my dog, but they were like "I"m feeling a little sick" ... made me realize we think a lot more now about transmittability - So I guess the pandemic has affected me in the way I approach other people

Has the pandemic affected your religious or spiritual observance in any way? If so, talk about it.
- growing up I was raised Catholic ... - when the pandemic first started I stopped going to church, and my role as a youth minister wasn't needed - I went to a Catholic college and thought it might help me reconnect with my faith, but in the end it played a role in leading me to transfer - I've realized my values don't really line up with the Catholic church. If it weren't for the pandemic, I probably would have left it at that. - the pandemic didn't directly push me away, but these two events happened concurrently.

How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
- Bob Saget, Betty White, Sidney Poitier, Desmond Tutu, Peter Bogdanovich, Joan Didion, and Harry Reid all died in two weeks, and it's really strange ... at the same time as omicron surging, though it's probably unrelated ... - Feels like a really numbing feeling toward illness and death is being renewed this week ... - I was watching the figure skating national championships, and three competitors got sick - The Olympics are coming up, and it feels really disappointing that sports may have to shut down again, even if that's a small concern compared to schools shutting down - My university is running, but remote for now - One of the main conferences I was looking forward to -- in March -- may not be in person. It's really difficult to think that far ahead again ...

Talk about your experience keeping this journal. Has it had any impact on your health (including mental health) and well-being?
- I started this journal in fall of 2020. I thought the pandemic was coming to an end. ... it's been really good for me to do this ... for the future it's going to be really interesting to listen back and get a glimpse of what this experience was like for people ... There may be people out there that listen to this some day and say wow, I didn't realize how hard it was for people to live through that -- not just the pandemic, but everything else that's happening politically, socially, environmentally at the same time ... This is a very critical moment in time, and where we pivot from here will be interesting to see.
