Thank you for your message, Ali. It’s been a rough time for the whole world, indeed. The surge continues exactly as predicted by our epidemiologists in the U.S., largely due to the seasonal change, forcing people indoors more... and holiday travel for family get togethers. Luckily ( or not) , I am an essential worker in a clinic with 70 employees. We have been working with masks full time since April 1 2020. I had my first covid vaccination on the winter solstice. The vaccine is proving a logistic hurdle for sure. We must stay vigilant. Everyone is tired, but it will get better. My heart aches for all the people we have lost.
