The COVID-19 pandemic dates to late 2019. But it became a huge problem in the U.S. almost exactly one year ago. And then the world developed a vaccine (actually several) in record-breaking time. As for myself, I got my first dose of the Moderna vaccine a few days ago.
Side effects? They haven’t been too bad for me. My arm hurt for a couple of days, and I felt tired. Slightly less than a day after the vaccine, I started feeling really run down, nauseous, and a bit dizzy. I recovered the next day.
Overall, I’m just feeling…optimistic. Yes, I could still get COVID-19. Yes, that’s a concern. And yes, the world still has many cases (though far less than a couple months ago). Nevertheless, I can see the end of the pandemic. Maybe I’ll start seeing more people in person soon. Maybe I’ll even enjoy some baseball in person this summer.
It seems like something worth celebrating.
