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

There is still a sense that every day is the same. Generally, my state of mind shifts between hopefulness that we might actually begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but a part of me is also skeptical, especially since the vaccinations are advancing at a slow pace. Overall, I feel rather irritated much of the time, but I try to focus my mind on positive things, such as the possibility that I might see my family in Germany again in a few months. The joy of that prospect is diminished by the fact that my mum passed away last December, but it would be good to see the rest of my family again. Somehow I feel this would help me restore a sense of normalcy.
