How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
The last couple of weeks have been very exciting for me! I got my degree and a week later I got offered a band 5 NHS Podiatry job! I am both excited and nervous about this new chapter in my life. ... I am sad to leave Edinburgh as it has been my home for the last 4 years as a student, it is where I met so many great people and I feel as though it is now my second home. I just cannot believe 4 years are over! ... The picture I have uploaded is right on my doorstep, literally! ... Lots of people travel to go on holiday up here, which at the moment is a bit annoying. I know we are moving through the stages and it is technically allowed, it is still anxiety inducing however to suddenly see more people in this very rural area. I wish people were more aware and conscientious of the fact that these "holiday destinations" are peoples homes.

Talk about whatever else is on your mind today.
The new variant terrifies me. I am scared for our children who are largely unvaccinated. I am nervous about the efficacy of the existing vaccines in protecting us. I personally know (vaccinated) people who have gotten sick with COVID-19. I have this pit in my stomach thinking about this next wave. My sister just graduated from Nursing school and is still in orientation for her first job. I fear for her mental health and for her life. I know what it was like to be a PT during the pandemic and I can’t imagine being in Nursing. I will continue to social distance and mask in preparation for this next wave. I think this pandemic has brought out the best and worst in people. Selfishness runs deep in this country. May god protect us all.
