Pandemic fatigue has fully set in. States are in various stages of reopening, and summer weather is tempting us out of our homes. Yet we are still seeing COVID-19 spread: The World Health Organization recently reported the largest single-day increase in virus cases worldwide since the crisis began. Though we may be finished with the coronavirus, its clear the virus isnt finished with us .

At the start of the pandemic, we collectively knew what to do: Stay home. But now, with no standardized guidelines on how were supposed to behave, everyone seems to be living by their own rules. Many are trying to determine whats actually safe, while others have given up entirely. Its leading to a lot of confusion and a threat to public health.

What questions do you have as we enter this phase of the pandemic? For example, are you curious if its safe to fly or stay at a hotel ? Can you safely get a haircut or go to the dentist? How can you socialize with family and friends? How do you measure your own risk of getting COVID-19? How do you deal with the anxiety of an uncertain future ?
