How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
All I have thought about this past week are the changes that are occurring much to fast, in my opinion. No masks outside, no masks necessary inside...it makes no sense to me as we are nowhere near herd immunity as a country. Personally, my family will continue to wear masks in stores and when outside around a lot of people. That's just how we are going to handle it, especially since we have an 11 year old daughter who will not be able to get the vaccine for a number of months. This is a picture from a hike I took with my daughter. The water looks like soap suds in some areas and I found it a perfect representation of what is still needed regarding COVID. We still need to clean up this pandemic mess and make smart decisions.

Has the pandemic affected your political views in any way? If so, how?
The pandemic has not shifted my political views. I am a public health professional, and have developed my political framework around what is beneficial for the common good. As a result, I started the pandemic as a strong left leaning democrat and I continue to stay that way. It is so incredibly frustrating to watch leaders make decisions about our health and safety while completely ignoring data and trusted professionals. I cannot comprehend how someone would support a political party that had demonstrated such a high level of disregard for human life.
