How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
We're back in the office full time this week, although numbers are still high and no one wears their mask appropriately. Fun, depressing fact: I work for public health. My employer has also made it clear they will offer no flexibility for childcare, even if a child must quarantine, and they don't care about us carrying COVID home to our families. So, I've decided to quit. My last day is Friday. I don't have a new job yet, but I have a few interviews lined up (all remote positions). After this pandemic, I'm not going to waste my time in an organization that doesn't care about my health (while they should!).

We’re seeing dramatic differences in rates of COVID infection, illness, and death in different places. What do you think about these differences?
It's so annoying that all of the sudden anyone who has access to Facebook is the same expertise as a medical doctor or research scientist. People still talking stupid about vaccine rumors and misinformation. Meanwhile, people are still dying and getting sick and making other people sick accidentally. It's all so stupid and frustrating. I did a fireside chat to answer questions from students about the vaccine and one student really tried to put his internet conspiracies against my PhD in molecular biology. I mean, he really went for it.
