Would love to hear personal experience of OP but there are horrifying news stories.

Lots of young people and kids getting very sick [1], lack of food [2], running out of oxygen w/ over 4k dying a day (reported who knows the real number..), vaccine they are using only 50% effective [3], asking women to delay getting pregnant [4] and more.

Personally, it sucks having to navigate treating a serious health condition, scheduling surgery, etc, in the middle of a pandemic. The silver lining is that my close family has the privilege that we can all work from home, so at least we're relatively safe from the COVID itself.
