How has COVID affected your life? Here's what respondents said.

It's been almost two years since COVID-19 first turned life upside down. And, if our Power Poll respondents are any indication, nobody thought the virus would still be looming over us.

Yet here we are, with yet another variant of the virus causing cases and hospitalizations to surge. So we checked in with our respondents: How are you holding up?

Most acknowledged the virus was taking a toll, but many said the impact is manageable.

When it comes to what the future holds, opinions were all over the map. We got responses ranging from "we're more or less back to normal already" to "it will take more than a year."

Despite any COVID weariness, most of our respondents said they are still taking important precautions. But many said their vigilance has slipped somewhat as the pandemic drags on.

We also asked respondents to rank which parts of their lives have been most affected by the pandemic. Overwhelmingly, they said it was their work life; after that, the picture was more mixed.
