By Katherine Schneider, for the CVPost In this space, since early in the pandemic, Kathie Schneider has offered hope, heart and occasional bits of humor. Her columns began on a weekly basis and now will be posted periodically as we head for whatever the “new normal” turns out to be. Kathie writes from the perspective of a retired Chippewa Valley clinical psychologist, blind from birth. She will continue to deal with some aspects of the coronavirus pandemic but will also focus on broader topics at times. In this column, Kathie notes that the fight against COVID-19 is likely to continue indefinitely, though at a lower level. And she offers several suggestions for coping with that situation, plus a few illustrations of how she’s coping. To read about her thoughts on this topic, please click on the headline.
