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 live in a world where I am an essential worker. I have worked through the entire pandemic treating patients in person and virtually. 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.

How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
The first week of the new year, and I am feeling in general more positive I suppose. There is always the feeling of turning the page and beginning anew that comes with the new year, and now there is the hope of an eventual improvement with the vaccine, although it won't be quick. At the same time, the political violence and uncertainty in the US is unsettling; again, I give thanks for so many reasons that I'm not living there at this particular time in history, but am worrying anew about family who are stuck in red states there. So am also looking forward to turning the political page and hopefully moving to better control the virus and finally see those statistics change for the better.
