The COVID Experience

From the loss of loved ones to arguments about masks and lockdowns, and now tracking the vaccine and deciding whether or not to even get it,  everyone has a personal story about the impacts of the virus upon their daily life.

If you are not aware of being exposed, you likely know someone who has been or has had a confirmed COVID infection. Tell us your story by answering these questions.
