How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
Today I used my best friend’s cookie recipe to bake holiday cookies with my daughter for the first time. It was a wonderful experience for us both, hopefully one we’ll be able to repeat at Christmas with my parents depending on what level of dumpster fire the latest Covid varient omicron delivers. My husband and parents are vaxxed and boosted, and I get my booster Monday. E is too young to be vaccinated but is great at wearing a mask so we’re still pretty confident in our trip. Worst case we stay home again and make another tray of these to feel better.

Have people in your community supported one another during the pandemic? Talk about why or why not, and maybe give some examples.
In the Bay Area (of California) support for doing what we need to do to beat the virus is more the norm than not. Though people with school age kids probably are reaching the boiling point with schools just now starting to reopen. Even Disneyland is slated to open April 1st. The Governor is under threat of recall for his handling of the virus... closing restaurants, bars, etc. it’s easy to get signatures inCalifornia for a ballot measure; less easy to actually through a democrat out of office. In my circle of friends - the early sixties and up crowd, people are being even more cautious u til they get vaccinated. I guess we are getting so close, why blow it? And the losses of loved ones is also undoubtedly a factor. One I three Americans have lost someone they love and know to the virus. We are one of those.
