How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
We went on a four-day road trip to visit my granddaughter and her partner in Northern California. We hadn’t seen them since November of 2019. With all four of us vaccinated and boosted (and with the two of them recovered from recent breakthrough cases of Covid) it felt pretty safe, and we had a.delightful weekend together. This sign at the entrance to a shop in Arcata served as a reminder that the pandemic is sti with us, and despite the easing of mask mandates, many businesses are prudently continuing to require them.

Talk about whatever else is on your mind today.
Although Christmas is in the air, perhaps the joy of the yuletide isn't in our hearts as much as in previous holiday seasons. Due to the pandemic, families world-wide are facing long separations. Businesses have closed, leaving many without jobs. COVID-19 cases and deaths continue to skyrocket. Yes, a vaccine is definitely a step in the right direction, but above all, we need to band together, strictly observe pandemic protocols and defeat this threat to humanity. Only then can true joy return to our lives.
