I am extremely disheartened by the loss of friends and professionals from my life for whom I have a lot of respect. Many of them are decades-long friends or colleagues who have been nothing short of consummate professionals.
I had an argument with someone whom I thought to be very smart over my worries about the new vaccine. I'm neither anti-vaxx nor pro-vaxx but prefer waiting until it's safe before taking it. But he, like many others, start throwing labels like "You don't care about public health" or "you're drinking the Kool-Aid".
It's annoying how so many people are so willing to embrace "science" and not question it when the very point of science is to question everything.
It's really sad knowing I'll probably never work with these excellent people again.
How are you doing? How are you coping?
I'm coping just fine. I follow my earned wisdom, my own research and mostly my trust in God over everything else. He will always provide me with what is needed. My fellow man and science has let me down more than once, God never has; never will.
Same here; felt hurt at first but then concentrated on using this time of isolation to get closer to God. Its turned into a blessing; I am more at peace now and content; happy to wait to all this to end knowing He is in charge of everything.
