How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

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 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.
