Wait

Throughout much of this pandemic, while traumatic, it was comforting that we were all in this together. Now, as many of my American and UK friends get their first vaccinations, they are starting to return to a normal life. They are travelling, they are visiting family, and they are making plans for the summer.

In Canada, however, vaccines have been slow going and cases are on the rise. Cases per 100,000 has exceeded that of the US for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic. And it is unlikely I’ll be able to receive a vaccine before July. Even receiving one before the end of summer could be questionable, which is disappointing to consider. And now a new stay-at-home order just as the warmer weather has arrived.

I am demoralized and demotivated and all I can do is…

wait.
