Personally, I try not to worry myself about it. For the past year, I've been trying not to live my life in fear, even though I work in retail. I work in a large shopping center -- one of the biggest chains in the world. And it's terrifying to think that I could bring that home to my husband or our friends/roommates. I skipped Thanksgiving and ********* this year to protect my family. The fact that there is a new, more dangerous strand just makes me hold out hope that the vaccine can take care of it, or our scientists will find yet another way to overcome this crisis. And my thoughts go out to all the men and women fighting this virus back. Sometimes I wonder if things will ever go back to the way they were.
