We’ve all been dealing with the consequences of this virus one way or another.
It has now been a year since the first case was reported and our lives haven’t been the same since.
Here in Alaska, we are fairly isolated, which means that the chances of contracting Covid are quite small compared to crowded cities.
Nonetheless, on the first week of December, a friend of ours got sick and tested positive.
We had been in close contact in the previous days and sure enough, by Sunday night my wife and I started experiencing some mild symptoms.
At first I thought I was just being paranoid. After all, we had been bombarded with news, updates and recent discoveries about the virus for months on end to the point where that’s all we were hearing about. The thought that it had travelled all the way across the world, infected millions of people to finally reach us was just hard to conceive.
