How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
Suitcase packed and ready to go... KN95 masks and rapid antigen tests included. Headed off in an hour to the airport for our first flight since January 2020. Can't quite believe it. We're going across the country from east coast to west coast to sunny southern California. I thought I felt ready to get back on the plane, but today, I've been nervous... what if the 3rd person in our row next to my husband and me isn't vaccinated or is one of those people who lets his/her mask slide or claims to be eating/drinking the whole flight so it is ok for the mask to be down around their chin? I wish domestic flights required vaccines like international ones. Sigh... Well, I don't control that or the person who is sitting next to me. So, I'll practice my deep breathing and focus on the upcoming vacation. Wish me luck!

Some people are feeling intense feelings right now as a result of the pandemic. Is anything making you especially sad, angry, or hopeful right now? If so, what's on your mind?
I feel angry at those who have ignored lock down and the rules. They are so selfish thinking that this doesn't affect them. It affects everyone. My close friend has lost her mum because of this virus. She's only 21, her mum was barely 50. I am also annoyed at the Government that their selfish and arrogant attitude towards this virus has cost thousands of lives. Why are they not being held accountable? I am so glad Scotland has devolved power over health and education so we can make better choices compared to England. The amount of people who are always in the parks sitting in massive groups, even before it was allowed to have picnics, should be held accountable too. And what is with people not understanding the 2 meter rule? The amount of times I have to move out the way because they won't is infuriating, like, sure, I'll just press myself against a wall/ walk into the road to avoid you? I just wish everyone started taking accountability for their actions.
