How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
All I have thought about this past week are the changes that are occurring much to fast, in my opinion. No masks outside, no masks necessary inside...it makes no sense to me as we are nowhere near herd immunity as a country. Personally, my family will continue to wear masks in stores and when outside around a lot of people. That's just how we are going to handle it, especially since we have an 11 year old daughter who will not be able to get the vaccine for a number of months. This is a picture from a hike I took with my daughter. The water looks like soap suds in some areas and I found it a perfect representation of what is still needed regarding COVID. We still need to clean up this pandemic mess and make smart decisions.

In the UK, last Monday (17th May) was meant to be the day that everyone was allowed to hug each other again, go to things indoors, eat indoors in restaurants etc. However, my area was one of two in the country to have high covid rates and we were locked down again for damage control with no one (technically) allowed in or out of the county except for essential journeys. This means my parents had to cancel their holiday, which they were upset about. But I still see people on facebook and instragram from the area posting pictures from other places in the country - clearly they are not obeying the rules. It is so infuriating that some people are giving up so much whereas others just do as they please the entire time. The pandemic has really shown how some people are self-centred at heart and completely impatient and want instant gratification whereas others are much more community-minded and able to play the long game for future happiness.
