I looked forward for the second vaccine. Maybe because it gave me something to look forward to. I counted the days between the first and the second shots, and read about the increased protection that each day brings. Now that I got it, there’s nothing to look for. Again. All days are the same. Still in lockdown, we don’t really see the end of it. The infection numbers in Israel are increasing although about 20% of the population already received the second shot. My daughters are still underemployed and edgy. My partner still deppressed. I am still terribly lonely. This is the second shot deppression: understanding that it doen’t bring any instant cure, that the way out is not near. In the picture: people waiting in line for the first vaccine in Rabin Square.

I saw this sign when I was driving through my old hometown with my roommates. I'm not sure why but I couldn't stop laughing at it. Maybe because it's a church sign that has a great intention, but the weirdest wording ever. I want a vaccine, I think we all do, and I think we all know it'll take a while and it won't stem the flood of infections and deaths for a long time. But at the same time, it's like we have to wear masks? Is it reverse psychology to get people to wear masks? I mean I agree with it, but there's something about it that's just so funny to me.
