How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
Today brought me much happiness. Hubby and I visited the zoo—the first time we’ve been to any attraction in well over a year. With masks on and the initial Pfizer doses in our systems, we cautiously strolled through the botanical gardens (maintaining required distancing from other guests) and then zigzagged over winding paths that featured fascinating creatures at every turn. It was wonderful to be outdoors on such a gorgeous day and to hear the delighted laughs of others—young and old.

Talk about what you think the world will be like after the pandemic is over.
I don't think the world will be post pandemic for years…. Most poorer nations havent got any vaccine to give their citizens.. until it is contained in every country its never going away… the best we can hope for is it will become endemic meaning it will still circulate in pockets around the globe for years to come. Between annual vaccines and acquired immunity we will tolerate this covid virus much like we do the yearly flu and wont need.. lockdowns, social distancing and masks like we do now.Once the virus is endemic, infections become constant across the years, with occasional flareups . Its going totake time for alot of people to be comfortable in crowds. And theres some things in society that will be changed permanently.
