How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
One thing we've done better than in the past is that the names for this disease and the subsequent variants have been memorable but not accusatory Unlike, say, "Spanish Flu", "Zika", or "Ebola" we've resisted the urge to brand it with the locations or the peoples where this disease was first identified It helps to have a name like SARS-CoV-2 that doesn't have immediate associations with sectors of the planet I do see the irony of the latest variant being called Omicron "Om" used to be a way of channeling a transcendental state Now it's more like, "OMG"

Many of us have experienced restrictions on movement and social contact during the pandemic. Talk about any restrictions that have especially affected you.
I never had a day off during the pandemic working pharmacy. Travel wise, the roads had no traffic during the Michigan quarantine which was eery but honestly, nice. It was recommended however, to have paperwork certifying from your place of business that you should be on the road in the event that you were pulled over by the police. That was something new, and did not feel good. It's an odd notion that you may be ticketed simply for being on the road if you didn't have proof that you should be there.
