How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
For the past several weeks, I have been volunteering at the mass vaccination clinic at UNM's The Pit, a basketball stadium. The first week, I was a "greeter". I got a red and silver pompom and directed folks down a hallway to their vaccination stations. The second shift, I was a "runner" and made sure all the stations had supplies. Last time, I was a "scribe", and helped check folks in prior to their shots. Not gonna lie, I volunteered hoping there would be extra vaccinations at the end of the day. But the clinic was too efficient and there were no leftovers. I was really touched to see so many seniors coming to get vaccinated, and how much care their family members took to make sure they got their shots.

The coronavirus pandemic hasn't affected my life this week because I am doing what I've been doing since March. I go to work, buy gas, and go shopping for food and basic supplies. My department had a pot-luck pizza luncheon and Christmas gift exchange this week. It felt normal to bake something and eat it with coworkers. We were in violation of pandemic rules that no homemade food was to be shared during the pandemic. We are law abiding citizens, but are tired of the control of basic liberties our country has placed on us. We were offered a free COVID-19 test so I took it. It came back negative as expected.
