How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?

I graduated from nursing school in the middle of the pandemic.

Started my nursing career working on a PCU unit, watching people yank their bipap masks off in the middle of the night because they were so confused by hypoxia.

To say that I adapted would be somewhat accurate, I suppose. Like everyone, I coped and did the best I could. I had been working in the hospital, in the pharmacy, mixing up batch after batch of the medications that were being used. It was something. Working there, watching people getting so sick and dying.

And here we are, years later.

Did I adapt? I guess!

But I think coped is a better word for it. All I know is that I never want to do it again.
