How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
This is the scene on 15 April 2021 at the Times Union Center, downtown Albany, during my post-vaccine 15 minute waiting period. This is my second vaccination (Moderna). I bumped into an old friend who was volunteering at the site, and she gave me instructions for signing up to volunteer. My wife also signed up. We have yet to volunteer, but we're looking forward to it. I imagine it will be guiding people, maybe doing intake, etc.

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.
