How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
Well I finally got it! Started as a dry throat on Thursday and I attributed it to being at a gymnastics meet and being in a car that had mold. Then Friday night got a cough. Saturday cough and slight congestion. Was supposed to work at the hospital Sunday but went to get tested instead. Was shocked to be positive! Fortunately I just had the cough intermittently, congestion for 2 days and that’s it. No fever, not tired, no loss of taste or smell. So I spent a week cleaning my house, doing online courses I’ve been wanting to do, and cleaning out my closet! So can’t complain and I’m grateful for that. I am going to NYC to see my daughter perform for the first time in over 2 years so I was actually glad to get it over with. Now I do t have to worry about it interfering with my trip.

Had a discussion with my boyfriend,VA, today about how covid has affected us over the past year and I realized that we live in 2 completely opposite worlds. I live in a world where I am an essential worker. I have worked through the entire pandemic treating patients in person and virtually. I have had to deal with the emotional burden of patients losing family members, and wondering every day if I would get the virus and bring it home to VA. He has lived in a world where his company shut down immediately and started working from home. He transitioned teams several months in and have never met his coworkers face to face. His days are lonely but at least our dog keeps him company.
