I think their reputation has taken a big hit. It's this, and the failure to deliver the agreed amount of vaccine. And also the more severe "mild" side effects compared to the other ones. Like people having to take a day off work due to fever/fatigue etc. Which is a problem when the younger people getting the vaccine are mostly health care workers - already overworked teams can't really afford to have people calling in sick.
This weekend is tough. It's too long. I originally had 2 days off for a concert. Of course that has been cancelled so I cancelled my days off because 6 days in a row off work would have felt too isolating. Even though at the same time I also really need the rest from work. I'm focusing on work to not think about the things I miss but the focus on work is stressing me out. I don't really know how to handle this anymore. Coping strategies are not nearly enough.
New tasks at work have kept me distracted from feeling too bad about the lockdown situation but now I have 4 days off it's hitting hard again. I miss concerts so much. Spending my days watching live gigs in Youtube is probably not the smartest thing to do.
