Still in between
God bless the essential workers – health care, grocery, postal, agriculture, transportation, safety, and others who have had to go out into the world since COVID-19 started while the rest of us tried to reduce the spread. There are still a lot of unknowns and concerns about the near term future for the country and the world. Hopefully infection rates will not spike and these frontline essential workers can stay safe as states reopen more fully. Some evacuated Peace Corps volunteers have been accepted to graduate school or found full time employment. I'm happy for them and I wish those currently interviewing good luck with the job and school search. I can relate to evacuated volunteers who continue to live “in the between” of service abroad and life at home in the pandemic. Our evacuation was about two months. It isn’t easy and I give a nod to those frustrated and eager to get back to being more active but not able to take that step yet. /The new look to face a pandemic
