How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
My husband had COVID a couple of weeks ago, and even when he was feeling well enough to eat downstairs, he isolated at the far end of the dining room table. It felt like the King's Court, and although we found comedy in it, it grew old after a while. As much as i want all of this to be over, it just isn't. Today my car repair shop cancelled my appointment and has closed indefinitely, due to COVID cases among the staff. Is this just how it's going to be from now on?

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.
