How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
On Sunday my two hiking buddies and I went on a long, easy hike Halfway through one said, "I could sure go for a green chile cheeseburger" After that we couldn't think of anything else We cut our excursion short and drove to a restaurant that specializes in green chile cheeseburgers The restaurant was not very busy, but between the takeout orders and the outside diners, the staff was stretched thin We had plenty of time to read the extensive Covid warning notice near the counter Reading the notice caused my appetite to drop considerably Fortunately I gained it back when I got my food It was every bit as delicious as promised

How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
We’ve been reading news reports, and hearing first-hand news from friends, of breakthrough Covid infections in fully vaccinated people. Added to that are some indications that the vaccine efficacy diminishes over time, and may require booster shots after six months or so. It has been six months since my partner and housemate and I were vaccinated. Will booster shots be recommended? Available? What are the ethical implications of our wealthier country giving booster shots when other countries are struggling to get enough vaccine to give even a single dose to their people? No definitive or easy answers, just more uncertainty.
