How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I came up from FL On March 4 to help my dad through Cateract surgery. He has dementia and was planning to go to assisted living in early April. Neither of these things happened & I stayed at my house in Syracuse & took care of him instead. My first grandchild was born March 11. By the 13th hospitals were not allowing visitors. I only saw him once until my birthday in May when my daughter decided we were all careful enough. Poor girl and Papa were completely alone with a new born for a few months but they did well. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I appreciate simple things I once to for granted. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Walking What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Some people are so angry, and some are very selfish & not respecting others. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 I have not been able to work. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No work, no unemployment, but yes to health insurance. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Far more than prior. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Yes, I was just stuck. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Walk the dog at least twice a day. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 People showed there true colors. Many came together to help others. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Be good to others & try not to complain because there are people dying. The complainers sound selfish & I don’t like some people that I used to. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Hopefully people will live less complicated lives & enjoy the simple things.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 55 Date 6/11/2020 Location The location of the interview Hamilton County, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 In early March, after a very busy (normal) week, including attending an out-of-state wedding, I got sick: a tickle in my throat that turned into a full-fledged cough, a fever, muscle ache and extreme fatigue. I was sick for 5 days, and tired for another week after that. Did I have COVID-19? I don't know. Even though I had a physical scheduled that week and I went, sick, there was no testing available. My doctor insisted I had a cold (though I've never had a cold like that in my life). As I wondered if I had COVID-19 and heard and saw the fear expressed by my family, friends and co-workers, I realized this - not my illness but an outbreak of illness - had the potential to be really serious, and that fear changes people. As to how my reaction changed, we've only had one confirmed case in my town to date, and it was someone I know who is a healthcare worker. That didn't change any perspective for me. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 It's better. This forced us to slow down, to stop mindlessly running around doing non-essential stuff, and to appreciate the people who are important to us. Other than travel, I don't miss anything - I'm happy. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I'm happy and less stressed with a slowed down life. We get outside in nature daily, very often with our dogs. I'm still working (from home now), I'm cooking and cleaning and gardening, spending time with family members. I'm happy and I'm not stressed. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People are mean. That might sound harsh but it's true. So many people are judgmental and critical, even while they're telling everyone to be kind and to support each other. People are more afraid and more divided than they were before - and that's saying something. Many people believe they can dictate how others live their lives, and that if they think they're right, they must be right. I've seen and heard so many nasty exchanges, people turning in their neighbors for supposed infractions, rumors and backstabbing. This pandemic has highlighted the ugly underbelly of society. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 We did have to close our family business for a month, and we've had to steel ourselves against people's judgment and criticism when we re-opened. Even though we're following the rules and doing exactly what we're supposed to, people think they know better and should tell us how to operate our business (or that we shouldn't be operating our business at all). Of course, these people offer no help for lost income, just loud opinions behind our backs and on social media. Our customers, on the other hand, have been very happy with us. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am, as I work for a municipality. We shut down our offices pretty quickly and I moved everything I needed to work to a spare room in my home. We've managed just fine. At home, since we weren't going anywhere or seeing anyone, I didn't do anything differently. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I am working from home and it's been easy. People in the workplace have been understanding, because we're all facing the same challenges (not having things we need, making phone systems and computers work, dealing with husbands and children and dogs in the new "workplace " but it's been fine. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 I do not, my children are grown and living on their own. After two weeks of quarantine, though, my younger son and his wife came to stay in another house we own, and stayed for 8 weeks while working remotely - it was fun! After the first two weeks, we spent lots of time together and we were all fine. We enjoyed time with them we wouldn't have had otherwise. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I'm trying not to use social media - too much misinformation, hysteria and just plain nastiness. The internet has made things a lot easier in terms of communicating with family out of the area. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We do have animals - four dogs - and they've been the best! We've gone for so many walks, and hikes, and they love being outside with us. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Honestly, I haven't seen much positivity out of this, other than personally I enjoyed the slower pace of life. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I don't know if what I had was COVID-19; I couldn't get tested at the time, and haven't been able to find a reliable antibody test near me. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Not to book two trips this year. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Stay calm and live your lives. Use common sense and you will be fine. There's no need to hoard food, or toilet paper, and you don't have to spend all of your time disinfecting your house; you live there, for heaven's sake. Just behave responsibly and respectfully. You will be fine. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 There's going to be a huge, ugly divide between people who want to get on with life, and people who are afraid to move forward. The new normal will be about calling people out and hating people who don't share your views. Before we were divided by politics, economics, race - now we'll be further divided by health fears and fearing "outsiders". That's been a huge issue in the Adirondacks.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 21 Date 6/11/2020 Location The location of the interview Lake George, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 When classes were changed to online for the rest of the semester at SUNY Plattsburgh, where I am currently a rising senior. At first, it seemed far away and didn’t seem a threat, until I heard of the first cases in Glens Falls. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Before I was living in an apartment in my college town attending class and I had an internship, since I’ve finished the semester but I had to complete it online from home in my parents house. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 My sister and I both started walking in Lake George village and taking drives to get out of the house and de-stress What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Obviously Lake George is looking much different than a normal June, far less tourists, but increasing as things start to re open. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Since I finished school the beginning of May, I started working as a COVID-19 screener at Irongate Family Practice. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I work part time in the outlets when I’m home from school and or breaks, and I was furloughed from my job. I was able to collect unemployment 6 weeks after I applied. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 Fortunately, I was able to complete all my classes and my internship I was enrolled in this semester online after being sent home March 11th. It sounds SUNY Plattsburgh has plans to return to campus in the fall in some capacity as long as there isn’t another spike in the virus. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Definitely a lot more than I already was before. I haven’t been able to see my friends from school in months which means using FaceTime and other forms more to communicate. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 The biggest one for me is that I am supposed to be studying abroad in Rennes, France for fall semester 2020 which doesn’t look like it’s going to happen because of the virus. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 My family has 2 cats, and since quarantine has started we adopted a corgi puppy. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Back in March, my dad tested positive for COVID-19. My family of 4 was placed on 14-day quarantine. He was pretty sick for about 2 weeks, thankfully never admitted to the hospital. We had a sherif come to our house daily to make sure we were still here and had to take our temperatures and report them to public health twice a day. Later when the antibody test was available, my mom, sister and I all tested positive for the antibody. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I had known I wouldn’t see my friends and not leave the house for so long, I would have never stayed in or said no to plans. I would have gone to see my grandma, who is 87, in her nursing home before it closed, I haven’t seen her since I left for school In January because they are closed to the public.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 22 Date 6/11/2020 Location The location of the interview Clifton Park, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Mid-March, right as I was coming home for spring break. My reaction didn't change when a case appeared here; it was mostly unsurprising. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Much more home life. My social life was diminished as in-person activities were banned. Working from home also isn't that bad! How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 While I was finishing college, I was extremely stressed. Now that it's over, my stress is almost completely gone. I'm still stressing over finding a job in this current market. To relieve stress, I usually turn to exercise and music. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Interestingly enough, I have grown much closer to my neighbors. We are all circling our neighborhood at most times of the day, and conversation is always encouraged. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am not, but I'm working on securing a position Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 Not exactly laid off- I was working at my college's dining hall, and my employment ended when I graduated. I have not filed for unemployment. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I hope working on finding employment counts as working from home. It's definitely odd, though. The main challenge is finding a good work/life balance; I sit in the same chair at the same desk for both "modes." Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 Yes, yes, and I don't think so. I have no plans on returning for higher education at the moment, but I am still unsure if schools will open up again in the fall. Some schools have created plans for in-person classes, but I'm not sure how to feel about that. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Constantly. With more free time overall, it's easy to become engulfed in electronic activity. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Yes. My school had to cancel the in-person graduation and instead opted to do a virtual graduation. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 n/a What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Hard to say. With the state of the country right now, it isn't entirely easy to point out all of the good things. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 "Top 10 Ways to Keep Yourself Occupied While Stuck at Home" What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Wear a mask and wash your hands. (x100) Keep in contact with your friends and make sure to check in on them! How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Working from home will be more accepted as a way of working. Certain jobs should be valued differently, too- like nurses and healthcare professionals as well as essential retail workers.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 My husband has been in and out of medical facilities since January. The impact of COVID-19 first occurred to me when I showed up to visit him and was turned away at the door because the facility had gone into lock-down. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I grocery shop a lot less--usually only once every two weeks. I don't run out on errands nearly as much as I used to--have learned that I really don't need much at all. I don't get to see my adult kids and their kids much at all. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I miss hugs. I am not lonely as such because I am OK with my own company, but I miss the family and friend hugs I used to take for granted. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Going to the grocery store and following the directional arrows and use of doors. surprised at how many shoppers choose to ignore the arrows. Lots less traffic on the roads. I have noticed, sadly, how many people felt their freedom was infringed on by the restrictions telling them to wear masks or not to gather in large groups. Are they really so selfish and/or stupid that they don't get it?? How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Entertainment, and keeping in touch with family and friends. Also more online shopping than I would usually do. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Grandson birthday party. College graduation for one of my daughters. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think that people will forget how important it is to be concerned for others , and that greed and self-centered-ness will again take over our society.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 40 Date 6/11/2020 Location The location of the interview Queensbury, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 3/16/20- I was more worried at the beginning then right now. At first I said it wasn’t really affecting children. We were not near anyone too elderly. As time went on we were not as worried in our area and for our family. Our children in our lives have been affected drastically because of this. Loved ones have passed away without any final goodbyes or a funeral, kids have graduated with no field trips, parties or graduation. There is been no socialization and the children have progressed in school. Now I’m just ready for everything to open, so we can get back to more normalcy. There really any cases in our area other than the nursing homes which were caused by New York City and Governor Cuomo sending those infected to the nursing homes here. I am not concerned that my family or I will get the coronavirus anymore. We want our normal lives back. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 The schools closed & went to virtual & online learning. I work for Warren County Department of Social Services and we were told that we had to go to half staff in the building. A lot of our staff had to start working from home. The positives are that we did not have to fight with my kids to get them up for school and that we were able to help them with their schoolwork. Two of my kids liked not being in school and one of them wanted to be at school. Doing homeschooling was definitely hard for one of the children, especially with me working all day still at the office & due to having 2 kids with special needs & none of their help, accommodations & services. My husband was not able to work, so it allowed him to spend more time at home with the kids. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I have had to work every day during COVID-19, whether it be at the office Monday through Friday or on call during nights and weekends. Not much has changed for me in that regard. I just feel that we need to get back to normal now so our children are not emotionally and educationally damaged further & so that our economy can start improving. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Most people are wearing the masks as required by the governor. Some people are not in our completely against it. The majority of the people not wearing masks are college age, who feel they are invincible. Things have just started to open up with some limited outdoor dining at restaurants but not much else has opened up. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am an essential employee. I am a supervisor for the child protective unit in Warren County. I have had to work at the office the entire time through COVID-19. At least 50% of the staff are working from home or not working. Only the supervisors, senior caseworkers and a few secretaries have been at the office. Last week they started to bring back some more employees but not many. We are required to social distance by 6 feet and if we are unable to, we are required to wear masks. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 My husband was unable to work during COVID-19 and was getting unemployment. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 I have three children at home. Homeschooling has been rough. They have been handling being at home pretty well but are bored and wanting to get out to do things and be around other kids and get back to the fun activities that they were doing prior to COVID-19. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I am using it all in the same amount due to working. Most evenings are spent doing online schooling with the kids. I do go on social media (Facebook) a lot to see friends & family and to see what’s going on in the world, including the President and the governors daily briefings. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We had to postpone our spring break vacation in April. We then had to postpone it again when we had it scheduled for June. We now have it scheduled for July. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have an Old English bulldog named Griffin and he has not been and impacted at all. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Most families have gotten to spend more time together. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 One of my employees is believed to have had the coronavirus. The doctors office never tested her but she was sick with all but one of the symptoms for over two weeks & was in quarantine. My friends mother had COVID-19 in Long Island and unfortunately passed away from it. Due to the orders from the governor and hospital policies, they were not able to be there with her as she passed away, which is horrible. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 Several friends and family members last summer during the pandemic. Only one was due to coronavirus. No one was able to have a funeral or a celebration of their lives due to the coronavirus and the governor’s orders of social distancing and not being in groups of more than two or your immediate family and then not being able to be in groups of 10 or more. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 To stock up on hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes and toilet paper, as everyone bought them out of the stores and online and they were difficult to find during this time & you still can’t find hand sanitizer readily available and the price is completely outrageous now. If I knew it was going to last this long, I would’ve bought summer clothes for all of us as well, since only Walmart and target have been open and you cannot try anything on or do clothing returns. We also would it take an hour vacation earlier. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Make sure that you have some good masks on hand, as well as toilet paper & disinfecting wipes. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I don’t think things will be back to normal for a very long time. I think they are going to require masks for a long time as well as social distancing and restaurants and places at limited capacity. They’ve already canceled almost all of the fun major activities for the entire summer and even some in September 2020. The court system, DMV & places to hold events are going to be completely backed up.

Question 3 I am missing people but can find things to do at home, waiting out the virus What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 It's much quieter and the pace of life in general has slowed. There's a message for all of us in there! Are you a business owner who has had to close?

Question 17 If our government knew how to deal with major disasters like this ahead of time, it would be great. But I am not sure there is really any way to do that! What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Read what we did in 2020. Just like I have been doing about 1918. Not sure you can really prepare for it as life just comes at you sometimes. You never know...…………... How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 We will be very reluctant to do a lot of things for a while but we'll get back to pretty normal eventually. Look at 911: we changed for a while and a few things permanently changed but life goes on.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 56 Date 6/10/2020 Location The location of the interview Clifton Park, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I was concerned in late January/early February when I heard news reports about the deaths in China. I actually brought masks with me when I flew to Florida with my daughter in late February. Only one couple wore them on the flight and no one was coughing on our flight, so we did not wear our masks. I had masks leftover from the H1N1 virus ten years earlier, but I couldn't purchase any as all stores were sold out because of the pandemic. As news report continued and dominated, I started to get my affairs in order due to my asthma as the virus was reported to hit people in the lungs. I was convinced I would die if I caught it, which I thought was inevitable as news reports stated how infectious the virus was. As time went on, barely any deaths were registered in my county, and most deaths occurred in elderly people with significant health conditions. I started to relax. Then I started to hear from medical professionals that codes were added to medical forms as "possible Covid-19" (for purposes of gaining federal dollars) which skewed reported numbers of the deaths. Even with those, the numbers of deaths and confirmed cases in my county were extremely low. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 TIME! I have the one precious commodity I lost once I had children. I stay home more. I don't take things for granted. My life has slowed down. No more running back and forth to work, scrambling to get kids ready in the morning, running kids to activities. I have saved money because I am not shopping as much and buying things, spending money on gas. I have time to get projects done in my house. I have time to focus on my flowering plants and vegetable garden. I purchased more fruit trees. I feel accomplished. I feel I am living more of the simpler life I grew up with, the life my parents grew up with. The life we all lost somewhere along the way in this age of organized activities and materialism. The stress and fears from the pandemic have ironically given way to a much stressful way of life and an appreciation for time spent with family in our home. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I had always exercised, but I have been able to continue my workouts at home. I have more time to cook healthy meals from scratch, get adequate sleep. I feel wonderful! The only physical issue is significant neck and upper back pain from working more on a computer. Honestly, to relieve stress I am turning off the news and getting outside in the fresh air with my kids! What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I live in a suburban development. The biggest change I have noticed is community is coming back. I have seen so many more people than usual getting outside and taking walks in the fresh air, riding bikes together and walking as a family, talking on the street. People say hello to me as I am outside gardening and they have become familiar faces. This is ironic given how people are now staying away from others in stores. On our social media page, people are giving away things for free to those who need it. In our school community there has been huge support in the way of overwhelming donations to our already existing backpack program that supplies food to families in need. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 I have been fortunate that I am not in this situation, but I have ordered more take out to support local restaurants than I ever did before. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am essential. I am a teacher and have not been to my workplace more than twice. We must notify our principal if we are coming in and every area we entered must be sanitized once we leave. I honestly am not taking any precautions at home. I don't clean any more than usual. My son is also essential as he works at a pet food store. He has had to wear a mask, they have placed partitions between the registers and customers. They have only allowed ten customers in the store at a time. He has not gotten sick, nor has anyone in our household. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I am working from home as a teacher. Other than the time I gained in my own life, the experience has been horrible and frustrating. I have had to work solely on the computer. Learning new technology has been challenging, and several platforms have had many glitches and don't work the way they should all the time. Fortunately, I had already infused technology into my curriculum. I find myself working at all hours rather than just during the school day. I need to also work with my children who are in school, so teaching from home and teaching my own children has been extremely difficult. It is much easier to work with other people's children than my own! Trying to engage my students has been difficult. Many checked out. I CANNOT do my job as a teacher without seeing my students. I can give them immediate feedback, reassuring words, redirection when they drift. I cannot do this with a computer. My biggest challenge is the guilt I feel knowing I have not done the best job I could teaching my students. I fear the gaps in learning they will have will be huge. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 At first, my daughter and I loved our time together. We did everything together! As time went on and the weather was still bad and we were cooped up inside, we started to bicker. My son was working so he wasn't here much. Now that the weather is nice and we can get outside, we are enjoying our time together. However, my children no longer want to do schoolwork. It is extremely difficult to keep them on track with this nice weather. Their schedules have been disrupted as well. They do not want to go to bed until late and sleep in until mid-morning. We need our routine back! How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I am using the Internet to do my job. I have also used it to shop since I cannot go into stores. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Yes. I have two dogs, four parakeets, and a Guinea pig. One of my dogs is a puppy we got in January. I found that the dogs playing and fighting over toys and bones has been more of a distraction when trying to work from home than my children have been. But the dogs are absolutely LOVING having us home! They get a thousand times more affection and playtime with us had we left the house for school and work every day. They have especially helped my daughter as she did not leave the house at all and missed her friends. The dogs became her true best friends in all this. I was also able to train my puppy in much less time than usual since I was home! What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Because I was still getting a paycheck, I donated a couple of hundred dollars a month to our school's community food program. I also ordered takeout from local small restaurants to help them, which my children loved. I saw the community pull together as we have always done. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I know several people who contracted Covid-19. Several people said they were sick for a month, had trouble breathing, and were so sick they thought they were going to die. My hairdresser's elderly father had it. She said he rallied and sounded great, but was dead that night. (He is the only one I heard of who was hospitalized.) I know only one person who said she was treated for an upper respiratory infection, lost her sense of smell, and then tested positive for Covid-19. She said it wasn't any worse than others she had. A nurse friend of mine is working with elective surgeries. She said the number of people they are testing who have the antibodies but were never sick is astounding. These people were all shocked when they learned they had the virus. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Don't listen to the media!!! There was NEVER this hype for the H1N1 virus. I caught that along with my daughter. I had to go to the hospital for my asthma but was fine with the treatment they gave me there. She was only a baby but was also fine. I learned in this pandemic how serious the H1N1 virus was, but I hadn't heard all the hype about it as we did with this one. I think people's mental health has sorely suffered in this pandemic because of the media hype and shutdowns, and people have to be well mentally as well as physically to fight off illness. The shutdowns, the divide and politicizing of this virus were unnecessary. The flu has had a higher mortality rate. So don't listen to the media. Adopt a wait and see attitude, know the facts before you panic. I pray for the small business owners who have lost their source of food and shelter for their families because of this. I pray for my students who have been stuck at home in unhealthy situations and who lost their safe place to go to. I pray for the numbers of people who have lost their way in this and are again struggling with addiction. I pray for those who lost their lives due to addiction during this - more than those who died in the pandemic. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Be smart, be safe. Take precautions by eating healthy, exercising, keeping a healthy weight. Practice good hygiene. Don't panic. Science is a wonderful thing and has many answers. Turn off the fear-mongering, sensationalist media! And be aware that you may have to fight for your freedoms if they are taken away as they have been in this pandemic. People were told two weeks, but it went months due to elected officials in power stripping people of their rights to earn a living. Call out injustices - how 200 people can shop in a Walmart, but the local barber can't have 2 or 3 people in his shop. Know your rights under the Constitution, but balance that knowledge with common sense and what is best for everyone. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I work in a profession where germs spread easily. When I started teaching, desks were cleaned every night. They stopped doing that about ten years ago. I hope that starts again. I sincerely hope parents will keep their sick kids home instead of sending them to school. Sick time should be increased for people to stay home and stop the spread of illness when sick. We need to focus on that instead of the bottom line in businesses. I do think shields should stay up at registers in businesses. I sincerely hope there will NOT be a new normal. People cannot live in fear or they will never have lived. We NEED each other. We NEED face to face contact. We NEED human touch. Interactions with others is what keeps people connected and makes us human. This pandemic has not been what they thought it would be. The flu kills more people. We should continue to live our lives, but be more mindful of our hygiene.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 25 Date 6/9/2020 Location The location of the interview Glens Falls, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 It was a weird weekend. I knew it was coming - I had a friend whose mother teaches in China, and through a lot of January/February he had told me about how scary things were for his mom. Then in early March I actually drove to Washington, D.C. to visit this friend. We both had an inklink that coronavirus was coming, but didn't really know how soon and hard. Nothing was shutting down yet. That wound up being the weekend that a lot of people started stocking up on everything, toilet paper and all. We went to the store on Saturday night to pick up a few things, and there were lines of people, stocking up on whatever they could get their hands on, and shelves empty of certain things. As happy as I was to be there with my friend, my first thought was "oh god, when I get home I need to do this before the panic gets as bad in my small upstate NY town as it is here." And so the next day, that's what I did. After a 7-hour drive back upstate, I got home, set down my bags, and immediately went to Price Chopper to stock up myself. It wasn't in my head as an absolute doomsday scenario, but what was clear was that people were prepping like it was one. The next week, I went into the office Monday and found out I would be working from home starting Tuesday. Like I said, hell of a weekend. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I've been working from home since mid-March, and have a much better understanding of my own workflow and where I can and can't focus. I've also been swinging wildly between trying to eat healthier and breaking down to comfort foods. I had also just started building a habit of going to the gym before the quarantine started, and honestly I haven't really been able to make that up. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Some days I have a really hard time getting anything done. I just stare into space, trying to get started working and unable to. I try to be creative to relieve stress, and some stuff works; I host a podcast, and that's been a good project. I've also started hiking recently, which has been really nice. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 What has surprised me is how readily and willingly people have kept supporting local restaurants. I'm a reporter, and have talked to a lot of businesses that sound like they're coming out the other side of this okay. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 No, but see above answer. To add to that too, I have seen this hit hardest for places like the Glens Falls Shirt Factory. You've got a lot of tiny studio shops in there with just one or two people behind them, and a few of those have had no choice but to close. On the flipside, though, you have the owner of the shirt factory building, who a couple weeks ago started the shirt factory food truck corral back up again. He's workiing his hardest to support both the businesses inside the building and the restaurants that come and rely on the space. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am an essential employee. I am a digital reporter for a news station. I was already working outside the main office, as the main reporter for Warren and Washington counties, so exposure to coworkers was not an issue to begin with. At home I am trying to be diligent with things like hand sanitizer and washing everything extra regularly. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Focus is harder at home. I like some things, like being able to make lunch in my own kitchen, but working in the same space I live makes it harder to focus in on work, and also hard to just exist while not working at times. I like having seperate spaces for work and personal life. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Social media has helped me find stories. A lot of people's efforts are being publicized on Facebook and Twitter. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Nothing that huge, but some travel plans were canceled. Some friends and I have traveled to Bonnaroo music festival in Tennesee every June, even as we have moved further from each other; one now lives in Boston, one in Philadelphia, one in West Virginia. It was disappointing to realize we won't be able to have our usual reunion, but whether it's in September or next summer, we're holding on. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I actually moved in with a friend right as this was starting, and now live with him and his cat. The cat is a delight, apart from when he pooped under my desk. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 A lot of people just ready to help each other. A lot of people doing the little things, like putting rainbows up in windows to say hello and try to make things a little brighter. A lot of support for medical professionals; maybe more than the national government has been willing to spare. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 A friend of mine lost both his grandparents in Florida to it. Same nursing home. There, as here, nursing homes have been some of the biggest and most horrific pressure cookers. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That an uprising for racial justice would slam into it What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Save up some money for a while beforehand, in case you lose your job. If you don't make yourself hyperaware of who you know who is at most risk of taking the biggest hit, and do everything in your power to pay it forward and help those people. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Probably a lot of additional sanitization procedures will stay in places like restaurants and hotels. Also some people might stay working from home.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I am unsure if there was or is a confirmed case in my town. The first impact was when my job was in decision of whether it's was to be deemed essential How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Having to wear masks. I still work, and we're cautious there, not much has changes How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 46 Date 6/17/2020 Location The location of the interview Ballston Spa, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 The impact hit me early because I work in healthcare and had an early exposure...I work outpatient and at the time we were conserving masks... that meant masks for the “symptomatic” patients... but remember, early on this was a respiratory disease...at the very start, it was not nausea and vomiting we were worried about...the first cases in my town did not change my view much How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 We marvel every day at how blessed we are... I work in healthcare, so I kept my job... and yet my exposure risk has been low since those first early cases... my husband works from home...one of my children was already homeschooled, and it was easy to move back to having two children at home... of course, we have missed sports and travel, but for us, it has been a few months to take a breath, to plant a garden, to be together... there are many days I actually feel guilty...the impact has been, in many ways, minimal How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel blessed to be free from illness, to have my family close to me... I feel stressed that I am not able to help more people...the stress that we do feel, we relieve but getting outdoors somewhere with a lot of space, getting on Zoom with family every night...relaxing more What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 In person in the community, face to face, there seems to be a better sense of togetherness and support... but that same feeling does not translate to social media... we live in a divided country and I feel sometimes that what I see on the street is a mismatch to what people express on social media Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am a healthcare worker. I work in a walk-in, acute care office as a Nurse Practitioner. We have implemented limits of visits, temperature checks, increased protective equipment and cleaning precautions. We are seeing the growth of telemedicine. At home, I take everything off as soon as I get home, hit the shower. I am the only one who goes to the store or the restaurant for take-out Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I was not furloughed... and who would have ever thought that ANY healthcare workers would have been? But I was worried... people literally stopped coming in for sick visits... fear has kept people at home... it was not something I thought I would ever see Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I still go to the office, but my husband works from home... in our bedroom/ office Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Two children at home... a homeschooled 6th grader and a public school Freshman... the last few months has been smooth... my children understood the obligation to stay home early on... while they watched many of their friends continue to get together or relax distancing earlier, they were understanding of being children of a healthcare worker and their responsibility of keeping other’s risk low... If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Zoom calls with family...we meet each night and have read The Hobbit, and are on the third book of Garry Potter now,. We conference call for work, I have started chatting with a friend once a month that I usually saw once a year Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We had just gotten our passports and had a trip with grandparents to Iceland...with busy schedules, it had taken several years to finally put it together ... instead we will plan for another time Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have three cats...I think they are sick of our smothering them, but they have brought us a lot of joy and comfort ...I see everyone in the family stop by sleeping cats throughout the day for a quick snuggle What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 In the beginning, when there were no masks... the community coming together, colleges, construction companies... donating masks to hospitals... community members contributing meals to healthcare workers...that hit me the most...I was afraid, and frustrated early on when I couldn’t wear a mask... I felt hung out to dry... people wanted to help and they dig deep to do it... Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Co-workers, yes...it felt inevitable that we would all get it... and then we didn’t ...but I felt like I was holding my breath for months If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 At one point I thought- I wish I knew how slow my job was going to be... then I would have volunteered to go down to the city and work as an RN... I stuck close to home thinking at one point they would need me in the hospital here... but if I had done that, I would have missed out on all the time I had with my family... so I think I’m happy about what I didn’t know What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I think we are still well in the middle of this... people ask me all the time- how much longer?... I don’t think I’m in the position to make a judgment about it yet...NY is getting better, but other states still have increasing numbers... Prepare? Believe the scientists! How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 It seems so silly, but I think masks may become a part of daily life... I hate the loss of a simple smile Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I was certain the library would be closing... right before, I went and took out a bagful of books... it was one of the best things I did to prepare... ❤️ Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 41 Date 6/16/2020 Location The location of the interview Gansevoort, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I was first hit by the impact of COVID-19 when the schools and other public entities began to close. I was worried, for my children, for our family and those of our community. My oldest son has asthma and I feared for him especially since the focus of the virus seemed to be on those with underlying medical conditions. We're just outside of Saratoga so the large amount of cases here was unsettling. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am very much a home body! Before the Pandemic my boys and I were out in the community, working, playing, volunteering. It is quite a struggle adjusting your mindset in such a huge way, especially when children are involved. How do you explain it to them in a way that doesn't scare them? How do you make sure they know they're safe and things will be ok one day? Tough questions, tougher answers. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am up and down, I'm sure as many others are. Some days things are looking great and I'm thankful for the focused time at home with family and other days all hope seems lost. Just like before COVID-19 we all have our good days and bad, just now your reactions and outside resources to relieve those feelings are limited by so many rules and regulations. Its hard not being able to hug and be close to family especially. My oldest son turned 9 during this pandemic and celebrating that was such an emotional rollercoaster for us all. Through it all we've been so lucky to have our immediate family to talk to and be with. I'm taking lots of walks! Thankful for living in the woods! What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Surprisingly not much has changed other than the restrictions of gatherings and closing of businesses. I'm pleasantly surprised how close knit the Schuylerville/Saratoga communities have kept through it all. I'm proud of our little communities for keeping the faith and continuing to show support for each other during these trying times. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am a clerk at the Schuylerville Public library. We are just now going back to work and starting the beginning phases of reopening. I am anxious to get back to work and the community. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 Fortunately I have not had to worry about my employment. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes. We have a 9yr old and 5yr old. Every day is a surprise! hahah its been great having lots of quality time together, some days we drive each other nuts and the boys definitely miss their friends. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 So many digital platforms!! Zoom for meetings, lessons and school meets, Google for school work, school meets and work, social media to keep updated on what's happening locally and globally. Ironically, screen time has increased for us adults during this time as its the one way we can all stay in touch and keep up with work and school. I'm not loving all the extra time spent on devices. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My oldest sons 9th birthday was in April 2020. We had a "socially distant" celebration with only close family and a neighbor. We set up hats and noise makers on a table outside and served cake on the table so everyone could grab their own piece without coming into contact with each other. We all sang and the kids kicked soccer balls back and forth. We made the best of it and everyone was full of smiles and very appreciative to have the time together. My son was happy. We're planning a make up party once we can get together with all of his friends. Our youngest would have graduated from preschool so I'm currently planning a little ceremony for him and his classmates. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have chickens, a dog, a gecko and some fish. Leia, our golden retriever dog, has really been loving having us all available to throw her ball for her! What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 So much positivity when you look hard enough to find it! I participated in a peaceful walk for Black Lives Matter in Schuylerville, NY and was overwhelmed with the love and care I witnessed on that day. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I have had a handful of acquaintances who contracted it and have heard it was like a cold or allergies. Luckily, those who I know who had it had mild symptoms and recovered fully. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I knew how much the time away from loved ones and friends would impact my children and how to help them cope instead of treading the waters and stumbling along the way. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Drink plenty of water, be outside with nature, write letters and keep a journal or notes about what's happening and your feelings and talk to your loved ones. Keep the faith. There IS light at the end of the tunnel. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I have no idea. I hope this pandemic will help everyone be especially thankful for what they have and that it will encourage them to help others who don't have it. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 The one constant is LOVE. Be kind and love one another. Try to understand everyone is different and will have different opinions. We can coexist with different ideals, its called acceptance. Figure out what's most important to you and hold onto it.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 13-Mar-20 How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I was definitely stressed and scared during the first 7 weeks or so. I have only had social distance visiting until just recently when I have been closer with family and friends that I know have also been precautious. Before this I was very social. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 There is always the niggling fear that COVID can hit any time. For me, doing mindless crafts has been helpful. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People have been great at being precautious. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I was. I decided after 42 years of cleaning Post Offices that it was unsafe to continue working in a building where people would not wear masks. I felt like if I cannot see my own family, I would be damned if I would work in a place with blatant disregard of safety laws. At home we just recently started letting people in. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I sent many cards to people to just brighten their day. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes. My friend’s son and granddaughter had Covid. Luckily both recovered well. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Be kind! How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I am afraid many people will lose their jobs permanently. I am concerned how schools will reopen safely. I think more people will continue to work from home. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I am sad that politicians are more concerned about their agendas and Some people this is a hoax or something China did on purpose. I wish more people listened to the experts.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 38 Date 6/15/2020 Location The location of the interview Gansevoort, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 The impact first occurred to me when school was closed for what we thought was a few weeks. I thought it was an overreaction, but when I saw that people that I was connected to, however distantly, had either died or were in the hospital, my attitude changed. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I would say that my life is more relaxed. I don't feel like I always have to be going "somewhere." Just being at home with the kids or going for a walk can mean as much as always running around. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel stressed that school might not be back to "normal" in the fall. To relieve it, I'm making plans for what life will be like if the kids don't go back to school. Cooking helps relieve the stress, too! Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 I am a family photographer, and I made the decision to close. While I could be doing "social distancing" photo shoots, I'm taking this opportunity to take online courses and refine my techniques. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 I have 3 daughters. The oldest one has adjusted well, and is thriving even. My middle daughter is struggling socially and emotionally, even though she is doing well with her school work. The youngest is 3, and is having the hardest time. All she wants to do is play with her sisters, but she can't while they're doing school work. She is bored, and is missing the interactions she had at her "school." How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Lots of video chats with family, where we never video chatted before! We're doing virtual meetings for Girl Scouts, too. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have 2 dogs and a cat. They seem happy to have us home! Lots of nice cuddles and play time. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 We were part of the 518 rainbow hunt, painted rocks and hid them all over our neighborhood, and did what we could to maintain Hudson Crossing Park. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 A coworker of my mom's contracted it. She's a nurse in a hospital in Utica. She ended up in the hospital for weeks , and is still in rehab. It appears that she has permanent damage to her heart and lungs. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I hope that this pandemic will help us value human lives and being together more. Current events certainly suggest otherwise, but I'm still hopeful.

How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I do my daily 3.5 mile walk in my basement each day. It is 140 lapses. Can walk outdoors not safe for me at my age. I Skype with my family daily or chat on the phone. Also do my research. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?

Question 18 Use common sense in how you deal with pandemic. Don't panic! Take in stride and look after each other, particulary the elderly. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 The govrnmental authority were caught off guard. They didn't have the medical supplies we needed for this pandemic. I don't think there will be a new normal. People are starting to pick up where they left off,unfortunaely. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Prayer is very important and helpful, both from knowing there is a higher power in control and for peace of mind. Most church were able to hold worship online.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 15 Date 6/14/2020 Location The location of the interview Ottawa, Ontario, Canada When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 When I read a news story about the cruise ship that had to dock in Australia because people were sick. I thought "that's strange, glad it's not over in Canada." Ottawa's first case was in March, reported to the public on the 11th. I felt a little worried because we live close to the hospital, but I knew that we have amazing healthcare workers that would help to stop the spread. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I was part of best high school track team in the country, and ran everyday, now I'm less motivated to run and when I do, it's less than half of what I did before. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Most of all I feel sad. I miss my friends and my teammates. My family is split between two countries, so I miss my other parent. To relieve stress, I've been working out for at least 60 minutes a day and gardening nonstop. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 No, but we are in the middle of one right now. We're moving cities for my stepmom's job. We're currently moving to the virus' hub in Canada. But on the bright side, she is helping to research a cure at the hospitals.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 28 Date 6/13/2020 Location The location of the interview Scotia, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 At first so many people were saying that it wasn't any worse than the flu, and it rarely affected young people, so I didn't take it too seriously, but slowly but surely as things started to close, I started to take it very seriously. I work as a volunteer coordinator at a local non-profit, and suddenly we had to cancel all new volunteers, and shut down our store which we used to fundraise for our organization. I also had to cancel a trip I had planned to Texas with my best friend whom I haven't seen in almost 2 years. Not serious things necessarily, but still losses in a How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am extra conscious of how I am feeling. I spend more time at home for sure, and work from home unless I need to be physically at work. I've always been a homebody, but I didn't realize how much I missed my normal routine until I wasn't allowed to have it anymore. I used to go to the movies every week, and I really miss that and don't know if things will ever completely go back to normal. Three days a week I volunteer at an emergency response center getting food to individuals who are in quarantine or unable to go out. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am feeling okay. For the first couple of weeks I was very stressed thinking about the future and whether I would lose my job or a family member could get sick, but I am past that now. I am still a little worried about myself or someone I know getting sick or having to be quarantined, but I was fortunate enough to keep my job and be able to work from home most days, so I feel grateful that in the midst of all of this, I personally haven't suffered much loss. I watch a lot of TV and have read a lot of books. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I think generally seeing things closed that are usually so bustling is eerie. It felt a little Twilight-zone for a while there. Playgrounds roped off with caution tape. Basketball courts empty. No traffic. Seeing all the new signage is interesting too. All these signs about wearing face masks and staying 6 feet apart. Just three months ago we wouldn't have had any concept why we would ever need to do that. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 I don't personally own a business, but I work at a non-profit and the store that we run as a fundraiser had to close. We were finally able to reopen after over 2 months, but it is difficult as we mostly use volunteers to run the store, and now many do not want to come back. It's understandable. It just makes it difficult to get things done. We also sell donated items, so our sales are down, as people are worried about contamination. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am not, no. I work as a volunteer coordinator at a local housing non-profit. I work from home mostly. Now we are back on the build site, and so I go there two days a week. We are all wearing masks at all times, sanitizing tools and other surfaces, trying to stay 6 feet apart, etc. At home, whenever I leave the house, even if it's just to go outside of ra minute or on a walk, I always wash my hands when I re-enter the house. I also clean my phone after every time it leaves the house. I am more cautious about cleaning my hands before I eat. I don't clean the groceries when I bring them home. It's just too much work frankly, and I only have so much in terms of cleaning supplies, as you can't find them in stores anymore. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I am, yes, mostly. When I was working exclusively from home, I really had to make sure that I used my time well. I am strict with myself, so I really do make myself work all day except for lunch and little breaks. At first, I found it pretty lonely and repetitive, like it was the same day happening over and over again, but I adjusted to it. I personally do not like working from home. I enjoy the work/life separation that an office brings. Now, my home IS my office. But I am extremely grateful to have a job when so many others do not. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Mainly as entertainment (watching TV), some news. I have completely refrained from putting my personal opinions about this virus out on social media. I don't think it really matters what I have to say, and it is discouraging to hear others take it so lightly and make jokes about it and whine that they can't get their haircut, when so many people have died. Now that the Black Lives Matter movement is in full force, there is so much about that being discussed on social media. In a lot of ways, the pandemic has shockingly become lesser news in comparison. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 n/a What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I volunteer three days a week at an emergency response center the county set up to get food and other necessary supplies to individuals in need, so it's nice to feel like I'm doing something purposeful to help people. I convinced my boss to donate 2,000 of our construction face masks to a local hospital, so I felt very good about that. In general, it has been encouraging to see so many people step up to the plate and offer help to others. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 No. My dad was tested for it, but it came back negative. I was on edge waiting for the test results, but we are thankful it came back negative. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I just wish there had been some way to know how long it was going to take to be over. It is so hard to stay encouraged when you have no idea how long a thing is going to last. I also wish I'd had some advance warning before things closed. It's sad to realize that it was your last time (at least for a long time) seeing someone, doing something or going somewhere you loved, and you didn't get a proper chance to enjoy that moment while you had it. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I honestly don't think there is any way to prepare for a pandemic specifically. We didn't get the chance. That sounds depressing, but you just never know what's going to happen, and I don't think stockpiling resources you may never need is really the best use of your money or the kindest way to treat other people who may need those supplies. I think one beneficial thing you can always do is save some of the money you earn. So many Americans completely panicked at the idea of spending a week or two without a paycheck. I didn't want to lose my job, but I save 20% of every paycheck, so I knew that if I lost my job for even a few months or more, and I would be fine. I think it is always good to look to the future and try to do whatever you can do to put your future self in a better position. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think while things will be open, I think it will take a while for people to go back to being comfortable with just going to a restaurant and eating and drinking whatever food the waiter gives them, sitting in a crowded theater with other people, etc. But ultimately I don't know that the effects will last that long (past a year or so). I don't think we have the patience to keep it going. People are already very restless. I worry that students will not be allowed to go back to school, and I think it is so important for their development to be around and interacting with other students in a real-life environment. I hope that they are able to go back next year. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Don't panic and hoard stuff and buy up all the toilet paper and cleaning supplies. What worried me most about this pandemic at first was not that people would get sick (though I worried about that later), but that people were being so selfish in this regard.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 The day we had to begin working from home. I had to go to the store- we had very little TP!- I laughed when I first saw the parking lot, all the cars were parked with at least one space between them. Then I realized people were seriously afraid and this wasn’t a joke. I went home and made masks for myself, family and friends. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 We haven’t seen our families in months- they live outside the area. And our bi-weekly night out in town is no more. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 When the weather was so cold in May, it was getting increasingly difficult to stay upbeat about anything. Much better now. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I was surprised to find so many high end cars driving around- the ones you only see “In Season” Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes. I really enjoy working from home and find myself very creative and productive. There is so much of my job that I cannot do, though. And those components I was very much missing. I have started back to work two days a week now and I am loving it! As far as I am concerned- this is a perfect work schedule. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Zoom!!!!!!! I am not a social media person at all. But we did have a couple of Zoom Happy Hours with friends and it certainly has been a wonderful tool professionally. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My neighbors grand daughter graduated from college so we had a parade complete with fire trucks and honking horns. She wore her cap and gown. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 At first my boys- my cats- were annoyed because their routine was upended and I kept invading their favorite chair- silly me! We worked it out. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 We have always been foodies- but we got really creative and cooked some fabulous meals. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I would have bought some extra- not hoarded!- some TP and cleaning products. My cupboard will never be that empty again. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 We still aren’t passed this pandemic. I think we need to ensure as a society that we have the necessary equipment and personnel to deal effectively with the next surge. I also found Gov. Cuomo’s daily briefing to be an oasis of comfort. He gave us facts- and some of his opinions- clearly and in ways everyone could understand. I am very proud to say I am a New Yorker- we shut down one of the largest cities in the world and virtually halted the virus from spreading further. NY Tough, Smart, Unified and Loving How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 We will need to wear masks for a long time to come. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 31 Date 6/25/2020 Location The location of the interview Saratoga Springs, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I took a vacation from Feb 20th to Feb 25th and flew across the country. COVID-19 was in the news but was still a footnote. When I travel, I typically wash my hands frequently anyway, so I was not overly concerned as there were still limited cases in the US. I had a relaxing vacation and returned home. On March 4th, I was at the Maple Ave Science Night and overheard some students talking about the virus. At that point I thought it as just topical of the news cycle. After doing some more reading, I could see how the issue was only growing instead of slowing down. On March 8th, I was running with a friend when I realized how big the news surrounding COVID-19 was getting. My friend and I were trading factoids and growing concern, and all other news was crowded out for this story. We had nothing else to talk about, since it was all anyone was talking about. Our running group instituted new distancing rules, and had all events suspended by the next week. March 13th was my last day in the office. World news had finally arrived in my hometown. My mood fluctuated between intense worry and a numbness like I was living in a dream. I wasn’t sure it was entirely real. On March 18th, I was in the Hannaford supermarket and the shelves were empty of many food items. There was a shortage of toilet paper for silly reasons (it’s a bulk item), but the idea of a food run scared me. Luckily, supplies were available and the shelves were restocked by the next morning. Certain food items regularly ran out for weeks on end but there was always enough in the store. I only missed one or two items in my shopping list at any time, and usually was able to find it the next time. However, the fear of a food shortage still stuck with me as the panic buying lasted for about 2-4weeks until everyone’s pantries were full. Shelves are returning to normal slowly, but pasta and canned vegetables are still not at pre-panic levels 3 months ago. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Life currently consists of working, sleeping, eating, exercise, and bathing. It’s extremely stripped down to only the basics and necessities. Luckily, I am still able to work from home, and I live alone, so a large portion of my day both at home is unchanged. Working remotely, I am still completing the same tasks but miss begin able to talk to people face to face, despite being able to complete the work over the phone if needed. But now, I can’t run with a local running group. I don’t go out with friends anymore. I can’t go to library! I can go outside for individual exercise and can also go for walks in the woods. I still go to the grocery store, but it’s not fun (not that it was in the first place). Food items are sometimes out of stock, but there is always an alternative with some quick thinking and willingness to be creative and flexible. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 As mentioned before, I can go outside for exercise and for a walk. I’m an avid runner and cyclist. So, every day I can do either, and the extra training has helped my fitness quite a bit. I also can go for a walk in the woods alone so long as I keep my distance from others. I’ve been exploring the Nature preserves in Wilton, and the trails in the woods behind Skidmore College. Despite this, my feelings bounce between resolve and a light despair. Since I have no control on what is canceled and what daily activities are allowed, it is quite a change from previously when a few weeks ago I could do anything. The only thing I can do is carry on. Luckily, exercise outside and cooking at home are not canceled, and I have been doing those to relieve stress. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Initially, everything was cancelled, closed, or shut down. A few restaurants were open for takeout. As of this date, things are opening back up. But many public events are still cancelled. I was surprised at the speed that everything closed, and that even tracks and fields were closed despite being open spaces where the virus was not suspected to spread. Since reopening began, I usually call a place ahead of time to see what procedures and requirements they have in place. There are considerations for even basic trips, such as if there are bathroom facilities available. Things take more time and more space, since even the simple act of waiting in line now requires large amounts of physical separation that nothing is designed for. There is also a large amount of people getting outside, and a local bike path has become pretty crowded now. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Yes, I was designated as an essential employee but I could work from home using a notebook computer. Since I could work from home, I took great care to make sure that I washed my hands for 20 seconds under hot water every time I entered my home without touching anything else, and to be careful handling anything that was from the outside. At my workplace, some staff are required to report on site. The company instituted an entry way with temperature checks, facemask requirements, social distancing, enhanced cleaning of bathrooms and common areas, closure of some office spaces for employees who are now working at home. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Working from home has always been a mental challenge for me. There are too many distractions. I use spaces to segregate activities: the workplace is for work; the home is for home activities. I’ve managed to find a space that I can focus on work in my home. Another challenge sometimes comes from other people working at home as they are not able to find a quiet space when on a work call. And finally, while some could consider that it is easy to slack off while the boss isn’t looking, the value that someone brings to the company needs to be evident over the work completed now more than ever. There is a small amount of anxiety to work even harder to make sure I am noticed and that I am not seen as taking advantage of not working while at home, but I am actually working hard just in my home. Working from home also comes with perks. Since I can make my own coffee, I’ve begun experimenting and trying new coffees and methods of brewing. It’s much better than the office coffee and I think I’ve found a new interest that will last long beyond the pandemic. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Before the pandemic, I connected with a few friends over the internet through video games and a Voice Over IP service called “Discord”. This was just to pass some time on nights in between socializing in person. When the pandemic began, this was the only method of social interaction, and more friends who were not video game players began to join our community online nightly for their daily dose of human interaction. It was a major source of relief and a fun way to pass the time that was suddenly without any other social entertainment options. My family also started a weekly video conferencing call on the suddenly famous Zoom application. I already had a webcam for talking with friends overseas, and am now talking to my close family members across the country weekly instead of every 6 months or so we would see each other before. I’ve begun avoiding social media more, and for weeks in April and May, stopped reading the news for days at a time. When the only news is COVID-19 news, there is nothing novel to read. News outlets are still trying to attract attention, so the news became so sensational it became anxiety inducing. I’ve learned to curb my news reading habit since it hurt more than helped my mood and stress. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 While none are for me specifically, there were a few weddings with close friends I was looking forward to this summer that were postponed until next summer. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 n/a What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 There is an incredible amount of wildlife now that commuting traffic and airplane traffic is reduced. Pollution is down in most of the world, although Saratoga Springs has always been pretty good. There are songbirds, squirrels, rabbits, and many many chipmunks around. I have also seen many more neighbors out walking. I have been meeting more and chatting more (at a distance) than before. I’ve seen more kids out riding their bikes and participating in their neighborhood than I did before the pandemic. People have been forced to put down busier parts of their life and have rediscovered each other. There are rainbows made in artwork everywhere. There are encouraging messages written in chalk in driveways and roads. There is still a lot of hope and support even to strangers out there. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 No, thankfully not yet. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That it is OK to feel the way I do, to let go of the things I can’t control, and to understand how my powerful discovering my own resilience is. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Pandemics do happen, and they need to be prepared for. There were a couple of bad respiratory viruses between 2002 (SARS) and now 2020 (COVID-19). But only COVID-19 spread far across the world. Once it’s gone, the task will still remain to unravel its genetic mysteries and use that knowledge to improve methods of detection in the population and expedited vaccine development and synthesis. We sequenced the entire virus’s genome, but there are still mysteries about it after 3 months. We need to be able to get more concrete answers from the genome and apply them to concrete actions the public needs to take. If genomic studies can speed of the vaccine development process, that is also important. These things take consistent funding even after the emergency ends. Keep funding and keep researching: pandemics have not gone away yet. Another important lesson will be from public health policy. Only history will tell, but big mistakes were made at the Federal level and we must learn from those mistakes. At the state level, transparency was key to getting the message out and convincing people to cooperate against an invisible force. Social Distancing and facemask use quickly spread on social media and mainstream media, and people learned and responded quickly. People will change their behavior: but it has to be sold the right way. Finally, life does go on. We will get through this, one long day at a time. As of this date, restaurants are opening and life is slowly going back to normal. But storm clouds on the horizon as multiple states hit new records this week for infections and deaths. We are not out of the woods so to say. It will take many months to get through this. The world is not over, but it will take some time to get back to a time without COVID-19 as a daily concern. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I don’t believe all major facets of life is changed forever. But I do think things will take a long time to get back completely, and it will happen in stages. I would like to see a new normal that puts emphasis on public health. People who are sick should not be guilted or economically incentivized to come in to work. That has gained a lot of attention since in previous years the flu was a nuisance not a threat to life. Public cleanliness and attitudes towards hand washing and sanitary practices need to and probably will improve, at least for a while. Mask use might not be taboo if one might be sick. Public transport with emphasis on packing people in efficiently will change the most. I do think there will be a race to develop a sanitary material that replaces plastic, since the public was seriously trying to reduce its consumption before the pandemic. (That has reversed course since plastic can be sanitized and is impermeable.) I also think that a lot of events with many people will move online since people will realize its usefulness. While in person events will resume, many things will also have an online component. Funerals can include family that cannot fly across the world in a moment’s notice. Sporting events can broadcast to fans virtually flung across the world that they cannot physically accommodate in a stadium. “Necessity is the mother of invention” and it is inventing a lot of uses for virtual events. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Background on the Pandemic Uncertainty To give some more background on what it was like to live through this time, readers in the future may want to understand how little knowledge there was about the virus. The virus’ genome was sequenced using technology available to us. It’s lineage and how it was mutating was also able to tracked. This currently is the most important story in the world and it is a science story. Yet in the first days in February and March, it was still uncertain to science on how it was spread. Leading scientists suspected airborne droplet spread, but didn’t rule out surface contact spread. Being near anyone or touching a surface that was sneezed, coughed, or breathed on, or touched with a contaminated hand, was also contaminated for an uncertain length of time. Every person and every surface you didn’t have control over was a potential source of a lethal virus. Panic ensued. There was an incredible amount of uncertainty around who got and how bad COVID-19 (the disease) was, and still as of this writing date three months in. I risk getting my facts wrong in this next paragraph, but understand that specific concrete answers are in short supply. Studies were being published daily both in peer review and pre-peer review. The press sometimes reported on these studies giving them more weight than their status deserved. That didn’t include the mountain of mis- and dis-information on social media and in the public square outside of science. Sifting through it is a full-time job, is emotionally exhausting, and is why I stopped consuming so much news and COVID-19 information after a month. Eventually, the public learned how to “social distance” because exhaled droplets were the main source of spreading. It wasn’t airborne, so as long as everyone stayed roughly 6 feet apart, it was generally seen as OK. Masks are now required to go into any store or public place, though they can be made of material such as cotton that doesn’t protect the wearer. The idea is to reduce the particles exhaled even if the wearer isn’t protected from inhaling virus particles. There are many stories of young people dying of COVID-19. Statistics show that the elderly are most at risk, but no one is immune by their age. Health status over smoking and underlying health risks also contribute, but even those who recover at home sometimes take 60 days to fully recover. Some report continuing health issues (called “long haulers”), and there is worry of lifelong damage after the disease is past. It’s still too early to know. Worse, it is still unknown what the rate of asymptomatic cases are. Some people become incredibly sick, even going to the hospital, or the intensive care unit or ICU. Some require the use of a ventilator, which are in short supply. (The United States is using the Defense Production Act to require manufacturers to create the unit in large quantities to avoid a short supply. Projections show we still can’t have a large breakout without rationing.) But some people can have no symptoms at all and still spread it to others. These are called Asymptomatic cases. The fear of young people isn’t completely that they themselves will contract COVID-19 and die (although certainly possible, rare); the fear is the guilt of accidentally spreading it to a vulnerable person which leads to their death. Early on, testing accuracy and testing capacity were rightfully highlighted as a top priority. Without testing a large sample of the population, if not the entire population, would be required to understand both the spread and severity of the virus. Still, testing is only done on people who report symptoms such as cough or trouble breathing, which is a self-reported sample. It won’t reveal what the rate of asymptomatic cases are unless everyone is tested. Since I have not had symptoms, I haven’t been tested. But I can’t assume I’m not asymptomatic.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Sometime in February I noticed that they had a virus that was killing people in China. I didn't worry much about it since we have had other viruses in Africa that never killed many people here. Then I heard about people who were dying here in the USA and next I read in the newspaper that a person I used to know when I was a teenager had died. I then started shopping just once a month, wearing a mask when I did and washing or sanitizing my hands often. I even stopped wearing my rings since it was easier to wash hands without them. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 We used to go out to eat two or three times a week. I saw my granddaughter and great grandson frequently. Now they are afraid of giving us the virus. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I don't have much stress since my SO and I have a nice small town where we can go for a walk or bike ride. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 The local market has changed a lot. You now have to wear a mask. If you want to, you can order by phone, pay with a credit card and pick up the groceries from a window in the side of the market. I have noticed that many teenagers don't wear masks when the go by groups past the house. So far I haven't heard of anyone getting the virus. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Retired. My granddaughter who lives in Albany still is working in a fast food place and, since my daughter is working from home my great grandson has been living with her. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 Retired and on medicaid. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 My daughters, my granddaughter, my sister and her children, and I get together on line with messenger just to keep in touch. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have a cat and nothing has changed except when we go to the vet to get his special food they just leave it outside (we pay over the phone by credit card) so we don't have to interact with anyone. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes someone did but it was a mild case. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Keep some paper goods bought ahead. Luckily I have always done this because I refuse to but toilet paper unless it is on sale. TP is one thing you really need. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think we will be wearing masks a lot, we will be cautious about being in large crowds, and we may hug our grandparents more. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Some people are more cautious about shopping than I am. They pick a time they can pick up groceries, order and pay for them online and then go to the store at the designated time phone and let them know where they are parked and a store employee will bring them out. The buyer then pops their trunk and the employee loads the groceries. That way nobody is ever within the 6 feet that is the recommended distance that we should stay away from others.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 12 Date 6/23/2020 Location The location of the interview Gansevoort, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I first heard about it when a woman was talking about it to my violin teacher. At first I thought that it was a phone virus, but my mom explained to me what it was. I didn't think much of it, until people started dying and we had to stay in our homes. Then I felt that it must be very serious. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 A lot has changed. I have to do a lot of things through video calling, and we have to wash our groceries. A lot of my hobbies are either cancelled or postponed. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am kind of sad because I can not see my friends much, or do things that I enjoy: like sports, going to the library, and going on playdates. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I have noticed that not a lot of people are out, and the very few that are, are wearing masks. The school bus has been coming in our neighborhood to deliver food to people, and people are always in their yards playing. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 No. My dad is still working with a lot of people, so whenever he gets home, he can't touch anything and he has to get in the shower. My mom has to wash all of his stuff with alcohol so it is clean. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 I am a child. I am doing pretty well, but I miss seeing my friends If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 I homeschool, but my co-op was cancelled, so I had to do the work from there at home. We also have to buy all of the books that we need to use, instead of getting them from the library. We aren't going back to our homeschool co-op in the fall. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I am doing my violin lessons through Skype, and talking to friends on video calls. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have a dog. She is an Australian shepherd-german shepherd-lab mix. I am glad that she is here so I can play with her, and have something to laugh at. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 A lot of people have been hanging up nice signs in their window. People are also putting up signs to congratulate seniors, and teachers saying that they miss their students. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I knew that the libraries were closing, because then I would have gotten more books! I also wish I knew I would not be able to hug my grandma because I would have given her a big hug before this started. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I would want them to know how to prevent spread of diseases so this would not happen again. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think that people will be a lot more careful with what they touch, washing their hands, etc. I think that people will probably wear masks more often too. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March 15, having to do with local museum's closing. I know if no case in town. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Greatest difference is not being able to casually socialize with friends, which took place several times a week. Otherwise there is little change to our (wife and I) lives. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 We are both feeling fine. Working around house and yard, and responsibilities as town historian and museum director (with museum now on-line) are great stress relievers. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Less traffic, more people out walking. Surprising not seeing more kids out (but that was a trend before covid-19 anyway). Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 Not a business owner but heavily involved in local history museum, which is closed. We have invested in on-line presentation, which has been a growing trend anyway. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Only as usual. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Zooming into board meetings Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Burial of sister, who died early January, at Arlington, still waiting. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 n/a What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Support of local businesses, especially eateries - buying gift certificates, etc. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Listen to the experts. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 33 Date 6/22/2020 Location The location of the interview Saratoga Springs, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I had heard about the outbreak in China from reading the news and also from a friend who is currently living in Shanghai. He had been in self-quarantine for weeks before it "arrived" in the US. I then heard about the first two cases in Saratoga because they were two pharmacists I knew and they just happened to live on my road! I like to stay informed as I am in the healthcare field, so I was trying to get my information from reputable sources and just stay up to date. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I have taken many more precautions than maybe we otherwise would have because I was pregnant and I now have a newborn! It is different for the obvious reasons - Wearing a mask in public, I used to go to the grocery store on a weekly basis and we now are using Instacart or doing curb-side pick up, we do not see anyone unless it is out of necessity or we can see them outside, my son had to stop going to pre-k and the library and so on. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel ok most of the time. Every once in a while it hits me how bizarre and crazy this entire situation is. We are very lucky to live where we do - access to a lot of land, hiking trails, our pond, our garden, etc. We were still able to work through the peak of the pandemic which allowed us to have some outside contact with the community. We just try to get out in nature as much as possible. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I think that the stores in the community really stepped up! It was nice going to local shops and seeing that they were offering curb side pick up or delivery. I am surprised that so many people are wearing masks. I am also surprised that so many older people were out in public, even during the peak, and were not wearing masks! Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am a pharmacist! I just went out on maternity leave last week, but I worked through the entire original outbreak. Being pregnant, I started to wear an N95 mask to work. I also did not go out and counsel people as close as I usually would. I stayed behind the bench. We also did not do shots unless they were absolutely necessary. We did deliveries for older/sicker people and we eventually had a plastic shield put up at our front counter. At home, I was spraying everything down on a regular basis with an alcohol spray. We were also obviously washing our hands a million times a day. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I was working out of the home, but my husband started to work from home. It was actually nice to have him home, but sad that the reason was due to wide spread sickness and fear. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 YES! I have a three year old and as of last week, I have a newborn! I feel bad that my son can no longer go to preschool and he has had no access to kids for months. It makes me sad if I think about it too much. I am very nervous to have a newborn, but I am trying to stay positive that we have the summer to enjoy right now. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I am trying to avoid social media in general. I do appreciate the online shopping options that were made available to me though. They allowed us to get our basic necessities without having to go out of our house! We can also enjoy Netflix/movies to "escape" reality every once in a while. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We were very lucky that we did not have any major life events that were upset due to COVID. We didn't have a 3-year birthday party for my son, but it wasn't worth anyone getting sick to have a kids birthday party. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I really did love that several local establishments stepped up and offered curb-side pick up or delivery. It was wonderful to see them still up and running. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I knew several people who tested positive for COVID-19. I was lucky in that the cases were mostly mild. It was still scary to hear though. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I would want them to know that it will be ok! It's important to be prepared (have some extra toilet paper, cleaning supplies, canned/frozen food, etc) but also to stay optimistic. Humans are amazing and resilient. There is no way of knowing when something like this will happen again, so worrying too much about it ahead of time is pointless. Rise to the challenge! Come up with creative and positive ways to help out your community and family and friends. BE SAFE - wear a mask, wash your hands, etc. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I hope that our healthcare system will be better prepared for a "next time." I also hope that our government will step up, be honest with the public, not spread misinformation and cause mass confusion, and work with the science community and make a bipartisan effort to help our country. I hope that we can go back to how it was before with more precautionary measures. That is my hope...

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 46 Date 6/21/2020 Location The location of the interview Hartford, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March 23rd. I don't know of any cases in Hartford. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am now unemployed and my daughter and I have been home full time since the school closed in March. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Very stressed. We're doing a lot of yard work and home projects during this time. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People are generally very friendly around here, even with strangers. They still are, but it's more difficult to express when you're wearing a mask. I've noticed people making an effort to express friendliness via physical gestures and making sure they "smile with their eyes". Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 Yes. I was able to get unemployment, but it took a while. My health insurance is through my husband, who was able to keep his job, although at a reduced salary for now. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes. Hartford was very lenient with their homeschooling, presumably due to the lack of internet in many parts of the school district. My daughter is in high school, so was able to complete most of her assignments without help, although she did ask for help with some. She was able to stay on the Principal's List for the final quarter. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 To keep in touch with friends and family as well as keep up with the news. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We considered adopting a dog, but apparently so did everyone else. There aren't a whole lot out there right now available for adoption. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Our family has spent a lot of time together. My husband worked from home for over two months while my daughter and I were also in the house all the time. We get along well and were able to do things together that we don't always have time for. Our yard is finally getting in shape after too many years of not having enough time. Home projects are getting done. I talk to my father on the phone more than usual, so we've been more in touch, too. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 To always stay stocked up on toilet paper. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 That our grandparents (or great-grandparents) who lived through the depression were right. Don't waste things. Always have a stocked pantry. Today we can add: stock up your freezer, as well. Nothing insane, though. You don't have to go full "prepper," but have enough to get through a week or two before you have to start worrying. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I don't think masks will go away soon. I'm glad I went to a few concerts in the past two years for the first time in decades, because I don't see those coming back quickly. I don't see the anger going away quickly, either. There are so many angry people in our country right now for so many reasons (this is written after the protests began, but I'm thinking more of the pandemic than the protests). I think people will continue to be angry, and that's a shame. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 56 Date 6/21/2020 Location The location of the interview Malta, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 The first I heard of COVID-19 was February 29, 2020. While scary, it seemed far away in California and Washington. By mid-March when New York became the epicenter, it became very real - and my first reaction was fear. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I take less for granted. The past three months I have been alone - and I think twice before venturing out for anything (even just a walk or a trip to the grocery store). How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am feeling very alone. Even with the few trips out, with everyone wearing masks there are no smiles and minimal human interaction. I try to get out for a walk everyday, which helps relieve stress somewhat. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 In my community I have noticed many more people out walking - and many more fur babies than I ever recall seeing before! Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 No. Although I work in healthcare, it is an administrative position that is not considered essential. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes; but I worked remotely prior to the pandemic so there was not much change for me. For my colleagues, however, working remotely was new - and adjusting to virtual meetings seemed awkward at first. I also find my colleague use instant messaging more than email. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I am using the Internet more than every - for work all day, and then for personal reasons in the evenings. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My daughter's college graduation did not occur. We had a very small celebration instead. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 No animals yet. I tried to adopt during the pandemic and every dog I was interested in was adopted out before my application was approved. I was looking for company and a walking companion ... but that hasn't worked out yet. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Hallmark gave away "thank you to everyday hero" cards, and I send those to essential workers to show my appreciation. A local woman was celebrating her 100th birthday in a local nursing home and her son asked for people to send her cards because she could not have visitors - and I sent her a card. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 A friend of mine, and both of her parents downstate. It was very concerning as the parents were hospitalized and being elderly were in a high risk group - however they all have recovered now. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I had given more thought to my purpose in life. Being non-essential I feel as if I have wasted too much time on "success" instead of on what is truly important - like family, relationships and happiness. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 The 2020 pandemic was an eye opening experience ... it really changed life the way we knew it. I think the best way to prepare for it - or any life changing event - is to slow down ... really consider what is important in life ... be a good person, live every day to the fullest and find your happiness. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I hope the "new normal" will lead to appreciation for all that life has to offer. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 The one "constant" throughout this pandemic were daily updates from Governor Cuomo and his staff. These briefings were not only informative, but also reassuring because information was shared and decisions were transparent and made based on data with the health and wellbeing of New Yorkers in mind. The Governor's office sent out a daily newsletter that included a "deep breath" moment which helped tremendously by bringing a spark of positivity to what often were very scary and dark days.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 62 Date 6/20/2020 Location The location of the interview Corinth, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Of course I was watching the news around the world. Then New York City and the downstate area started blossoming as a hot spot. By mid-March it was obvious that even a small town in the Southern Adirondack mountains was not going to be able to avoid being affected by Coronavirus. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My work was shut down and I worked from home beginning in mid-March. My work life changed dramatically; there were many things I was no longer able to do and many new or different task that needed to be accomplished. Everyone in my household was working from home as well. My father, who is in a small assisted living facility was now under quarantine. I could no longer take him out for a day or visit with him in his room. I did have the option to visit with him outside (masked and distanced) but the weather was not often conducive to that. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 At this point I'm hopeful. It has been a very stress-filled and anxious time. Trying to focus on things that I CAN do, not obsessively watching the news, reading, working on household projects, and having a weekly game night in our household has helped greatly. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 During the most sever part of the shut down it was eerie to see so few people on the streets. The grocery store seemed to be busy most of the time as people we staying closer to home for necessities. As the weather has gotten better, restrictions have eased, and we have moved into Summer I see more people out. Mostly they are good about distancing regulations and mask wearing, though there are some who, for whatever reason, don't follow those recommendations. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I am now working back in my building. There are many adjustments and it is not business as usual, but I am getting into the new workflow. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 I have two adult children who live at home. We all like each other and respect each other's space so it has been fine. It has been comforting to have them close. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I'm working from my computer more than ever. I've had more video conferences, calls, workshops, etc. than I ever thought I would. It has been nice to connect with people occasional through zoom - nice to see familiar faces. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My aunt and uncle had a 50th anniversary. We celebrated remotely via zoom and had cake and flowers sent to them rather than the get together that we had hoped to have. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I've been helping my business work through all the necessary adjustments. I have also been an observer of the local, state, national, and international history that is happening now. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I know one person that had COVID-19. She was hospitalized for 22 days and intubated for 19 days. She is recovered now. While she is not a close friend but rather an acquaintance, it puts a face on the disease and brings it closer. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I would hope any future pandemic has strong leadership from the Federal government. It has been frustrating to see no true overall guidance leaving each state to struggle on its own in fighting the pandemic. I'm grateful that our state took a strong stand and think it has helped to slow the spread of the disease. Many of these strong measures have not been popular in part because there is no unified national guidance. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think that we'll be wearing masks in public and keeping our distance from others when we are out - at least until there is a definitive treatment or vaccine. I think there will be many more germ-phobic people. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 The impact of COVID-19 first occurred to me on March 16th, when my workplace was shut down. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My life is much different now. I adopted a puppy and now have more responsibilities! I have learned to enjoy and prefer working from home, as well as to appreciate the important things in life. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I’m feeling optimistic. I think our society was in need of something to wake everyone up and remember what is most important. I’ve been working out to Orange Theory at home, and taking my dog to the beach. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People talk to each other more. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 It took over 3 months to get unemployment! I had to ask for public assistance for the first time in my life to purchase food before the unemployment was deposited. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I’m volunteering from home. It’s actually been more enjoyable and productive. There’s no commute time, my dog keeps me smiling, my hours are flexible....it’s great! Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 My puppy is basically a child. Training him to leave me alone while I’m working is harder from home. I’m nervous about him getting separation anxiety when things go back to normal, as I bought him on the first day of quarantine and he has never known a “normal” day routine. I try to actively go out for runs, trips to the grocery store to get him a little used to being home alone....but it’s a shorter period of time than it will be in the future. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I’m volunteering for the National Alliance on Mental Illness. We are using our website, constant contact emails and seven social media sites to ensure that everybody has support during this time of increased mental health needs. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I adopted a CavaTzu unexpectedly! I was at the mall the day before they closed and an employee came running out to tell us that the dogs were being sold at breed price, which was over 50% off. I wasn’t sure I was ready to be a dog mom but I instantly clicked with who I now call Teddy Bear and I just couldn’t leave him there. They said the manager would only be allowed in once daily to care for the pets. Teddy Bear has improved my life quality SO much!!! What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I have volunteered with NAMI, and I notice people mostly being kinder to each other. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I had of thought that anything like this was even remotely possible!! What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Never take anything for granted! Keep emergency savings and food. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think workplaces will allow more telework as they realize how productive is still is. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I think it was mid March, when schools decided to close. I don't know when the first case in my town was. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 More staying home. Less camping, the parks are either closed or not allowing out of staters. Considering we live on the Vermont border and camp there most of the time, this has cancelled a few visits. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I'm feeling fine. I think everyone is doing some stress eating, less exercise. Seems like the "freshman 15" has been replaced by the "covid 19". What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 There has been a lot of support for local businesses. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am an essential employee. I work at a converting mill where we make napkins and paper towels. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 Some people where I work were furloughed, I was not. They received unemployment, there insurance was paid for them while they were out. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 1 grown child. He was furloughed for a month but was also an essential employee. I do watch my 2 grandkids while their mom works, she is an essential employee at the post office. It is rough for them not being able to see their friends. They only have each other or adult relatives to play with, that gets rough some times. We try to keep things as normal. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I think I have turned it off more. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My nephew's high school graduation is scheduled to take place on June 26th as planned. However, each graduate is only allowed 1 parent/guest. It will be live streamed. His BOCES graduation was done drive thru style, I believe, as was all the end of the year moving up ceremonies for elementary students. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have a dog and a cat as well as 12 chickens. I did not adopt more at this time. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 More parents spending time with their children. More supporting local businesses. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Testing was not done in the early stages here, not until around May. I think more people had it than they have reported. I feel there were cases back in early December that were attributed to the flu because testing wasn't being done.

I miss some of my usual activities but see many neighbors and benefit from seeing my entire family all together. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Initially streets were quiet but after time and due likely to the nicer weather people are out and about much more. People likely got tired of trying to stay home. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I was going to be starting a new job at a school inApril filling a maternity leave but that didn’t happen. I was previously collecting unemployment due to losing my job last year. I was eventually able to get back on with the CARES act. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes, 4 and going well. If you’re a student, was school canceled?

Value school, social activities, sports, clubs , etc . You never know when it may be taken away from you. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think kids want to be back to normal like going to school and extracurricular activities and will have a short memory about social distancing. Adults may continue to be more cautious and aware but are looking forward to heading back to the office , the gym, etc Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Renewed Appreciation of what we can do to enjoy nature, our families, outdoor exercise And not taking for granted that our life as we know it can suddenly be taken away from us.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Week of March 9th. My reaction did not change. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I stay home. I learned how to teach online. Part of my professional life as a professional musician has totally disappeared and shows no sign of returning for months and months. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel fine. To relieve stress I am cleaning. I am baking bread and trying more new recipes. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 There is less traffic on the roads. People are less friendly. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 As of last week, the end of May, I have gotten unemployment. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing?

Question 19 Our lives will only be different for another 12-18 months. Once we have a vaccine, this will quickly fade away and our lives will return to normal.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Not sure of the date; perhaps late February or early March I started seeing advice to be prepared to self-quarantine for two weeks. The reasons weren't well-explained at the time. On March 16 I learned that someone at Mass I attended on March 8 tested positive, so I self-quarantined until March 22. I have no idea what the date of the first case in Balkston Lake was. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Only grocery shop once every 2-3 weeks. Wear a mask. More online shopping. No eating out or meeting friends for food and drink. Have only eaten one meal with another human since March 16. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel the same as I have since my husband died suddenly on January 1, 2019. I miss him more than I miss anyone else, and will still miss him when others get to see their loved ones again. Don't do anything special to relieve stress. Just focus on one day at a time. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Don't know how to answer this since I hardly go anywhere and am not out in the community. I'm a little surprised at how little change there has been to the mean-spiritedness of political discussions, and that this has become just another cultural/political battle. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Have used Zoom a handful of times. Other than that,no change. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Missed my cousin's wedding, my niece's graduation and a family funeral. As a second-year widow, I was planning to get back to the gym, to volunteering and traveling after not doing much in 2019. That's all off the table now. Not doing anything instead. Just repeating 2019 in some ways, except without opportunities to be with other people. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have two dogs that I have had since 2007. They haven't impacted my day any differently than before. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I doubled all my charitable donations. Put a rainbow in my window. Hard to notice anything else when I don't go anywhere. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes, but not a close enough relative to know what it was like. I know more people who had other health problems to address. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 Not a close relative. There was a small service which I could not attend because of the limits on attendance. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Nothing that would have changed anything. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Other than having good general p!ans for caring for their elders, I hope future generations live their lives without focusing on preparing for a pandemic. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Can't speak for anyone but myself. I will remain hesitant to travel amd to be in crowded places. I hope *we" stop using the phrase "new normal." Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Not very much changed except I wear a mask when I go shopping. Miss going out for breakfast and dinner. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Feel fine. Kep busy around my home. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Have to cancel pans to go visit my grand daughter on her 7th birthday. Too dangerous to fly long distance, I suppose. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 A day or so after the pandemic became real I has forced to self quarantine for 14 days. False alarm. That is as close as I have come to be personally impacted. Had to cancel two nightime regular events/meetings. Not difficult at all. My regular life has continued.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March 13th our schools closed for 5 weeks. At that time I thought that was excessive. Most other schools were only closing for 2 weeks. But it wasn't until mid-sized April that the impact of COVID-19 began to occur to me. I am not sure if we have any cases in our town. Our county yes. I really thought this would pass as people "stayed home" and then we could go back to life as it was. Now I'm afraid to leave my home and I never take the kids anywhere. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 We don't go anywhere . We stay home. We don't go to the park, I don't take the kids to visit dad at work, we don't go to the library (it's closed), kids are learning from home for school, they spend way more time on technology or watching tv, we don't have friends over or visit with friends or family, there will be no kindergarten graduation for my son, I wear a facemask when grocery shopping only going when my husband can watch the kids, How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel ok most of the time but get saddened when my kids cry because they can't play with friends or go with me to run errands or want to visit daddy at work. I don't really do anything to deal with the stress just keep going. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Libraries are closed, restaurants only serve take out with limited menus, people aren't out and about, schools are closed, most people wear masks when out. What has surprised me? How cavalier some people are and the attitude that COVID is a conspiracy. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes. It is tough. They are young and don't really understand. They want to go to school and play with friends and visit family. They are tired of mom being the teacher. They argue and have melt downs often. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Using the internet for school for kiddos. Don't use social media. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Birthdays. We just had quiet birthdays with just our immediate family in our house with promises of parties after coronavirus. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 n/a What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I don't really go anywhere other than grocery store. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 We are fortunate so far and haven't lost anyone. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That is was going to last for a long time. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I have always been told to save save save! I would tell others to save save save. You never know when you are going to need it. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Not sure but I'm afraid for the future and for my kids.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 41 Date 05/30/2020 Location The location of the interview Halfmoon, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 The public school district where I worked, closed under the direction of the Superintendent on Friday, March 13, 2020 for two weeks as a preventative measure. The Governor continued to keep all New York State schools closed and eventually announced school would not resume on-site for the remainder of the school year. Students were taught off-site through virtual learning from March 2020 through June 2020. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Many places and services are closed or limited. Social distancing is required. Wearing face masks is required. Doing anything is much more difficult. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I enjoy reading, watching television, listening to music, playing games, doing online activities, taking walks, flower, vegetable and herb gardening, watching and feeding the backyard birds, cooking, baking and candy making, crafts. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 There is a tremendous need for food and meals. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes. I worked through the use of a Chromebook, text, e-mail and through the Google Suite - Chrome, Gmail, Drive, Docs, Slides and Classroom How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 For personal use, professional use, as a platform to attend church worship services, meetings, to obtain news and current events, entertainment and to read e-books and e-magazines. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Birthdays and holidays were celebrated by only our household members. The school district where I work put together videos and slideshows to share online and held drive through events. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I donated to the Bountiful Backpack Program, the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York and I adopted a Class of 2020 Senior. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 It touched the school district where I worked - faculty members, students and colleague's family members. It also.touched our town. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 The services were private and very small. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How difficult it would be to obtain some food, certain household items and Personal Protective Equipment - face masks, gloves, hand soap, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Celebrate each new day. Recognize the importance of slowing down. Cherish personal and family connections. Sometimes things are greater than us. Perspective is what you decide. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 We will be much aware. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Much more isolated How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Still anxious. Exercise and gardening now that the weather is better. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Much less activity.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 65 Date 05/29/2020 Location The location of the interview Middle Grove, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Wednesday, March 18, 2020 was when the full impact of the seriousness of COVID-19 engulfed me. The director of the local library, where I was employed, told us to work from home and the library was closed until further notice. Thankfully, our Library Board continued to pay us but the adjustment to this isolation was very difficult. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Before the pandemic, I went to work 5 days a week and interacted with patrons, friends, and co-workers. I felt free to move about my daily life. Now I am working from home and only go out when absolutely necessary. It is scary to think that people can be asymptomatic and spread COVID-19 without realizing it. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am fortunate to live on 20 acres of land that I enjoy even during the winter months by playing in the snow with my dogs. During the spring, sitting outside while working gives me time to enjoy nature's beauty in between tasks. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 At first, I struggled with working from home. I truly missed my daily interactions with patrons, friends, and co-workers. I became depressed. To counteract my depression, I began exercising and playing with my dogs. I discovered that leaving the television on created background noise to mimic the hustle and bustle of the library. From negativity came positivity... I have learned to appreciate the stillness and aloneness in my life while taking time for life's little things. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 My job has Zoom meetings twice a week with our director and once a week with my supervisor. I have attended many learning sessions on Zoom, ThinkHR, Web Junction, and SUNY Adirondack Online. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My husband and I had to cancel our trip to visit my son and his wife in California. I took my frustration out on spring clean-up of our property. We do plan to reschedule. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 My 2 dogs and 1 bird have become my daily companions while my husband is at work. When I finally return to work, I worry about their adjustment to being home alone again. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Listen to the scientists and the data.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 43 Date 05/29/2020 Location The location of the interview Ballston Lake, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 When I was sent home from work the morning following a city-wide state of emergency declaration due to COVID-19 How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Much more time spent at home & remote working, as well as a general feel of unease & anxiety those first few weeks of the stay at home order. Those feelings have eased some now, but it's always there in the back of your mind... How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Better after the first month or two.... trying to get out for walks & enjoy the fresh air is probably the #1 stress relief option for me, but I also chat with family/ friends, work on puzzles, read & listen to music, or watch TV/ movies to relax. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 In general, there have been a lot more people outside going for walks around the neighborhood than was the norm for spring months in years past. I've been pleased with my community's overall helpful, we're-in-this-together attitude, and greatly appreciate people's obvious desires to assist others through acts of kindness as we deal with COVID-19. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes, remote work has become the norm now for me. As an employee in a local library that typically deals with the public & a job that's very customer service based, this has been an eye-opening experience. I'm so very grateful for the continued work and paycheck, but my work life has altered in a way I never thought possible. Overall, this is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is very different than how I performed my job duties prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Yes, to a great degree. The Internet is absolutely necessary for my current remote working situation, and I was a big Web surfer/ researcher even before the shelter in place orders occurred. I occasionally check in on an old personal Facebook account, but I've used the Zoom platform both for work & keeping in touch with the family & friends as well. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Thankfully nothing like that so far... no family or friends graduating, getting married, celebrating birthdays as of the start of the PAUSE orders in NYS to the present day. I have an aunt in the last months of her life right now though, and that has been extremely tough to try & deal with at such a distance. Zoom has been helpful in some ways, but it simply is not the same as being in the same room, by her side.... Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 n/a What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I participated in the local Red Cross Blood Drive, as I have for more than two decades. I've donated what I can financially to a few different national & local food drives & through Red Nose Day activities. I just have been very pleased (for the most part) with how much people are stepping forward & trying to help out their neighbors, near & far. I am also so very, very appreciative for all the essential workers & health care professionals, & for what they are doing day in and out to try & mitigate the effects of COVID-19. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 No, thankfully not as of this point. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 A lot of things & nothing.... even if we were able to get better prepared for something like this pandemic, I'm not certain it would have made a huge difference either way. I think people are just trying to make the best of how things are now, but when a vaccine is discovered, that's when I truly think the "dam will break" so to speak. Right now, people are living more day to day & not really planning too far ahead. Yet with a working vaccine, I hope things can begin again with a "new" normal that we can all appreciate & fully experience, be it plans for the future, vacations, time with family, hugging our loved ones, etc. I look forward to that day.... What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I hope that future generations realize we did the best we could with something very new & different to us. Maybe in the future, people will look back on our experiences & current struggles with COVID-19 like we do of those who experienced polio outbreaks or the Spanish flu. We tried to help one another out as best we could, and were not selfish & just looked out for ourselves, or our state, our just our own country. We cared about our friends, neighbors, loved ones, and even those people we didn't know at all. We were all in this together, and I hope future generations know this. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Until a workable vaccine comes along, I think some variation of social distancing will continue to play a part in day-to-day society. I'd like to think we will continue to look out for each other, the way so many people have done so, but that remains to be seen. Let's just say I'm hopeful, & leave it at that for now. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 It cannot be said enough times: I'm so, so grateful to those experts in the fields of health & sciences, our doctors, nurses, EMS, police, & fire fighters, our essential workers at grocery stores/Targets/pharmacies, our food service/ takeout & general mail & delivery workers, & the endless number of factory employees that are tirelessly working to help those people who are as a result safe in their homes, hopefully holding up their end of the bargain (so to speak) by limiting the spread of COVID-19.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 The impact hit me when we shut down in mid March. I realized that I had to cancel my plane trip to see my grandchildren. I only see them once a year. This was a difficult decision to make. I am hopeful that I can go in the summer. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My daily routine changed very little. I have had to give up my exercise classes at the YMCA. I don't exercise at home as much. I miss seeing the other people from the class. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am dealing very well. I don't feel a lot of stress for myself. I am bothered to see the food lines on TV. I know this is difficult for younger people who have children. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I couldn't have imagined that a day would come when you couldn't get your hair cut, teeth cleaned, get a mammogram or have elective surgery. This all surprised me but I do understand the reasoning behind it. I was also surprised by the empty shelves at the grocery stores. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I work per diem for Saratoga Hospital. I do mammography. Screening patients were cancelled. Someone with a problem could still get her mammogram done. The staff in our department has been reduced to only one or two technologists per day. I haven't been called to work for 3 months. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Some Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We just cancelled travel plans to see our family. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 n/a What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 We made financial contributions. I also made some masks and donated them. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 The pandemic affects people differently. There are some heart wrenching stories of people not having enough money or food. This pandemic has hardly had any effect on me. I think this is also a side of this event. My husband and I have enough to eat. We have to wear masks when we go out and we can't get too close to people - "Big deal". How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think we will have a heightened awareness for germs as we go forward. We used to call them "cooties". I also think we will slip back to our old ways after enough time has passed if this virus entirely goes away. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 This is an important project. Thank you for doing it. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 23 Date 06/03/2020 Location The location of the interview Glens Falls, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I was aware of it before many Americans since I have foreign friends in Asia. Specifically, I have a Korean friend who was working in China during the worst of the outbreak there. I followed the news closely as it spread and stayed in touch with him to make sure he was okay. It wasn't until the beginning of February that I started to realize the possibility of COVID in America, but I did not expect it to escalate as quickly as it did. In the beginning of March I was in Cancun, Mexico and came home through JFK for a rude awakening with cases escalating in New York. I did my best to follow the CDC and WHO and to take it seriously while also encouraging others to do the same. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am still not back to work yet. I have gone through periods of severe lack of motivation and the time at home has given me a lot of time to reflect on my life in general and what I want to do in the future. I have also felt a general feeling of hostility and division growing between fellow citizens with different opinions. I have become more conscious of news, politics, and fact checking/providing sources. I have started to speak my mind more and gain more skills. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I have felt many emotions during this time. Feeling hopeless and unmotivated, to angry and unapologetic, to inspired and focused. I have started putting more focus into my blog and tried to pick up a few new hobbies. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Opinions have become more extreme on either side. Many more people didn't take it as seriously as I thought they should. In the beginning stores were cleared out of supplies or closed. I have been surprised at the disregard of science. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I was laid off from my full-time job and was able to apply for unemployment the next week. After the application was done, I received the first payment within the week. It was very easy for me because I had no special circumstances. I was not able to remain on my health care plan through my job. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 No, I have head to babysit for those with children, however, and I am sure finding affordable care is difficult with so many daycare's (including my work) closed. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 I always take my classes online so this does not apply to me. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I became much more present on social media and encouraged my peers to cite their sources and fact check their information when speaking about the pandemic. I generally only shared it posted information directly from the CDC or WHO. I have also used social media to connect with friends and family through video chat while we could not meet in person. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 I was planning to travel to Europe this summer and the future of travel is now uncertain. Travel is my main passion in life that I pour all my time and energy into. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 n/a What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Charity lives streams for COVID, spreading awareness of facts and anti-xenophobic messages. People coming together in alternative ways (singing from balcony, ect.), stores opening only for the elderly in the morning, parents spending more quality time with their children, getting to slow down and appreciate the small joys in life, being able to reflect and be grateful for things like my privilege. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Not anyone I knew closely. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I knew the severity of it and how to address it so that the situation would have been handled better. Also how long quarantine would be. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Follow the scientists and recognized health organizations. The sooner you take it seriously the sooner it will be taken care of. You will get through it, but everyone will feel it differently. Please be kind and be careful. Learn from past mistakes. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think businesses and personal hygiene will forever be better and something more considered than it was in the past.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 74 Date 06/03/2020 Location The location of the interview Raquette Lake, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 On March 10th I had lunch with five high school class ages and that was my last social interaction. I was staying in a zip code with over 400 diagnosed cases, second death in NYS and within sight of a hospital testing tent and hospital where deaths were surely occurring. I was terrified because I could not see, hear, smell or touch 'the enemy' and my DNA did not equip me to defend and protect myself. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Most importantly my usual 8 international flights per year for the past 50 years are terminated indefinitely. My friends have been a great deal more communicative by phone and email, making me fell much less alone than in the past few years. Also the quality of communication is more heartfelt and therefore warming. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel stiff because my best method of exercise, in a warm water swimming pool (for arthritis) is not available. Mentally I feel pretty good as I have developed many strategies over the years of living independently. I set goals and work toward them slowly but consistently. Having the internet is critical, also the ability to read and freedom to move around the community in my car although I typically only go out for food. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People seem rather docile, accepting although impatient. Young people and some middle aged persons are oblivious to their potential danger to a person of my age and health characteristics. While churches seem to be ready to move online my library is dead in the water, not interested in providing any services, especially since attending by 'appointment' would be possible, even if a librarian was not present, service could be done electronically remotely. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I rely upon internet for email and Skype as before. I attend meetings as before and now even church! My cell phone is filled with rubbish and used only for outgoing emergency calls. I do not participate in social media for reasons of personal security and privacy Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 I am turning 75 this year and had planned a whole series of get togethers in different locations, different combinations of family and friends. All are now postponed until I have been vaccinated and can move about safely. If I stay alive it is only a change of date! Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 n/a What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I keep a wide range of professional, community and social contacts by phone or internet and continue my watchdog role with various entities. My 'contributions' are somewhat less objectionable to entities. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Thank God, only one young man healthcare provider who contracted but recovered and returned to work 48 hours after cleared. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How quickly it could spread without being detected. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Always imagine the day you are living could be your last or that of someone else. Conduct yourself accordingly. Rather than live in fear of the future do whatever is within your capacity to inform yourself for self protection and select leaders who are capable and willing to actually lead the group in informed, responsible behavior. Consult, respect and follow expert advise. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 We will know what 'scarcity' looks and feels like and recognize how much fluff has crept into our daily, weekly, monthly, annual lives. We will choose more carefully and savor more fully. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I wish it did not take the massive, quick loss of life to bring us closer to our senses of the worth of every human life, not just to their loved ones but to the entire social fabric. We will feel these losses in the years to come and must step forward for those who could benefit from a 'substitute', however imperfect, that would like to make life easier for those in need. We could do better at creating a 'matching' between those willing to give and those needing a buddy, short or long term.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 57 Date 06/02/2020 Location The location of the interview Guilderland, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Probably the first week of March. There was a lot of talk about the virus and my elderly mother was starting to express concern. Guilderland had one of the first cases in the area, the week of March 9. I remember thinking my last "normal" day we Wednesday, March 11. It was the last day I followed a normal schedule. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My life is definitely slower. I spend much more time at home, looking for projects to keep me occupied. I feel like I miss some things about my old life, but not all things. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Most of the time I feel fine, but when I think about the uncertainty of the future, and the unknowns, I get anxious. If I could have some assurance that I would someday be able to travel again, go out and see my friends, attend a concert, or not have to don a mask, I would feel fine all the time and be able to cope. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Our community has always been a giving one, at least since we have lived here since 2015. They have gone above and beyond to provide for people in need. My son and I were active volunteering to assemble and deliver meals to school kids from the beginning of this. I think what has surprised me is how patient people have been overall with this massive disruption of their lives. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 I have worked from home for years as a professional genealogist, but I volunteer my time helping others with their family histories in local libraries (including Crandall) and also offer instructional programming. All my in person sessions have of course been cancelled with libraries closing, so I have continued doing things online. I answer questions all day on Wednesdays from my Facebook page, and have scheduled a few Zoom programs through different libraries. Business is slower, but overall I've managed fine. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 My husband is an essential worker, selling cleaning supplies to businesses, school, state buildings, etc. He's been working all along, trying to supply his customers with necessary cleaning items that are in short supply and high demand. It's been very frustrating for him to get inventory to sell. He takes precautions by entering our house through the basement, changing his clothes, then washing them. We are all sanitizing and washing hands frequently. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 See above (question 5) Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 I have a 19 year old son who had to finish up his spring semester at HVCC online. It went quite well, but certainly was an adjustment. He goes for a run, walk or bike ride every day and keeps up with his friends via facetime, video game play, or Zoom. He's doing fairly well, but is sad about summer activities being doubtful. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 My son is hoping HVCC will be back on campus in the fall How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I keep in touch with friends and family via Facebook, Messenger, texting, calling. I have a weekly Zoom happy hour with friends and have had a few socially distant walks with friends. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My father in law passed away in April, not from the virus. We have had to postpone a funeral for him until we can all get together again. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have 2 cats, they have not noticed much difference except they get few on demand and are able to go in and out on the screen porch whenever they want to! What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 People taking care of their yards and houses- everything in my neighborhood looks beautiful! Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes, a friend of ours had it. She was very sick for several weeks. She would start feeling better, then get very sick again. She has since fully recovered. My cousin's wife also had it, she is also recovering. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 We have not had a chance to get together yet to celebrate the life of my father in law. We want to do that over the summer. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 More facts about the virus and how it spreads. I have felt that most of what we have been doing is overkill, but if it's kept us safe, then I have no problem with it. I just wish more was known about it so there would be less rumors spread. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Make sure you have enough money saved to be able to get through a crisis of some months. We did not have to worry about financial issues and that contributed to our peace of mind and security. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I hate the phrase "new normal". I believe that things will be different for a time, but eventually life will return to close to what it was before. Technology will be more widely used over more platforms. More people will work from home. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Early on, a started taking a picture every day to document what was happening during our quarantine. I sent a different picture every day to my mother, who was isolating herself in her apartment until a case was diagnosed there, then she was with us for a month. Below are some of those images.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 67 Date 06/02/2020 Location The location of the interview Wilton, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March 13th, 2020, a Friday I believe. I think that was the day that school closed. Until that day we had watched our grandchildren almost every day. Now we weren't going to be able to even see them every week. A day or two earlier there was an earthquake whose epicenter was in South Glens Falls. Too close for comfort. The first person I knew to get Covid is a young man I have known since he was 5. He came back from Europe, under orders from the government, to an ill prepared airport entry system. My thought was did he get the virus in Europe, or at the airport. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My husband and I used to go to work and take care of our grandchildren. No more. I go to work virtually and my husband had to stop work and had a pacemaker put in when there were still no visitors allowed at the hospital. We mostly stay home we didn't go out for about a month; no grocery shopping even as our children shopped for us. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am feeling kind of disoriented. How could this happen in one of the richest countries of the world. I guess our priorities were''t the best. We took a mindfulness meditation course which helped us sit still and just breathe. Now we are walking and gardening and the physical activity seems to relieve stress. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 The town is so quiet, or was until recently. Now businesses are starting to reopen, with restrictions. Our town is very tourist dependent . Those activities all stopped. The college closed and all the students left. It feels a bit empty here. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I tried to give more to our local food pantry. I liked to see all the online music and church services and the funny things people have offered to keep others entertained. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes, I know two or perhaps three people who had Covid. One of them , a woman in her 50's had to be hospitalized, but has now recovered. Someone we attended a wedding with in November 2019, a person we met and talked with died of the virus in March. He was in his 60's, fairly good health, from NJ. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Elect leaders who want to lead, not tear down. Fight for a more equitable society, where everyone can earn a living wage and have enough food to eat and decent housing. Build trust at home and in your community, for everyone. Read about science. Support scientific study. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I don't know what the new normal will look like. Maybe many will wear masks and wash our hands more. Maybe we will work towards a more global and interconnected world. Or maybe not which would be very sad. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes, I am working at home. I am a library computer clerk. I am taking online workshop to enhance my work skills. Online education wasn't foreign to me and I have enjoyed the library's online morning meetings. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 One big change is having many more online activities, for work and for social gatherings. We had a Zoom birthday and a Friday night Happy hour several times, and also some game nights online. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have a cat who likes it that it is just my husband and I here at home. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How to petition my government to prepare for all contingencies. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 The impact first occurred to me in the beginning of March. It took a while for any news of a case in our town, although I’m not sure the statistics were accurate. By the time I’d heard of a case here, all safety measures were being followed. I was scared. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I’ve been getting prescriptions delivered, was mostly either getting groceries delivered or picking up. I used to shop every few days. Now once every 10 days for supermarket and once a month for Walmart items. The past couple of grocery shops now that numbers are decreasing, I’ve actually gone in.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I was first really aware and monitoring cases when we were about to travel in early January. It seemed so far away then but then New York became one of the first states with significant spread, so it became close to home and real early on. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am not leaving my home, just walks around the neighborhood so life feels much smaller. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am fortunate to have my two college age sons and husband at home, so we are supporting one another. Walks are great stress relievers and fortunate to have easy access to that. I am feeling frightened for our community and our nation, worred about friends that are currently ill with Covid and concerned about all the affects of this epidemic. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I have noticed generous acts like support of the local food banks. Though others seem more self contained, in our neighborhood and elsewhere. I see less spirtually and emotionally coming together than I hoped to see. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 no, but I am a public librarian and we are looking at a reopening plan currently at our library. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes, the isolation is difficult and I wish we were having more department meetings, there are work wide meetings. I have found I can work from home effectively but the main part of my job is working with the public and I am not able to do that. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Only college age children and actually, it is wonderful to have them at home. We have not had this much time together and really I am appreciating it. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Yes, the main thing is Zoom meetings. I took my book club and planned virtual meetings. We meet once a month to discuss books but that has grown into a weekly discussion of books and more. These women have been a lifeline and a blessing at this time. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My visit to a woman I have become a second mother to, and is expecting in June, and I have postponed visiting her. It is heartbreaking, especially as her family cannot travel from India currently, so the family will not have the support of others during this important time. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We had already adopted two senior dogs several years back. They are such an important part of our family and great comfort now. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Again, my meetup book club meetings, once a week have been wonderful. My son and I also plan to help again this year working in a community garden to help our local food bank. My son and I have both taken COVID-19 tracer training online. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Both of my oldest and dearest friends are RNs and both have contracted COVID-19. It has been difficult to hear about their illness, one has been sick over a month and the other newly diagnosed. I am worried for them and their families. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish our government had a better plan, and we were not playing catch up with this virus. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I would like future generations to plan and support one another. This political divide has only added to worries and I am ashamed at the selfishness I have seen. Wearing a mask in public for instance is something we can all do for one another and why people are contesting this is beyond me. Also, listen to our government officials and be one community, which I don't feel I have seen as much as I had hoped. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I know for me, I will never look at larger gatherings the same. I love movie theaters and concerts, but don't know when I will feel comfortable with them again. I am concerned for us as a nation, both economically and the way we look at the common good.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 63 Date 05/31/2020 Location The location of the interview Glens Falls, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 About March 1, we were beginning to hear more about the virus and were starting to clean our office space more. I had someone unwillingly come into my office and loudly coughed all over the office in an attempt to be asked to leave. At this point i knew life was changing. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I never thought my work could or would be able to be done from home. One day we heard it was being considered. By that afternoon we were asked to create an emergency work from home plan and were told not to come back until told. I have been working from home and staying at home. Groceries were difficult to find. In the beginning i felt guilty leaving my home. My doctor’s appointment turned into a phone call. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 At first i felt odd and uncertain how to proceed to work from home. I felt guilty if i wasn't working every moment. I have now begun to love being at home. I feel more rested. I have had more time to cook. I feel my body has gone through preservative withdrawal. I never took a break at work. Working from home i can take a break and walk my dog. I have not been very worried about catching the virus while never leaving home. My concern is going back into the public. I am religious about washing my hands and wear a mask. I love waking up to birds singing instead of an alarm clock, traffic, or sirens. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I think living in a smaller community has helped. Most everyone has been respectful of the new rules. People have been creative in ways to protect each other and sell their products. It has been strange to have things like the DMV allow expired licenses because you cant have your picture taken or take an eye test. It has also been fun to see creative ways people are celebrating life events. I went by a nursing home and saw a group of men in a circle serenading a resident Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I don't want people to have my personal phone number. People do not pick up if the number is restricted. Some people are rude or suspicious. My job has changed to begin helping with unemployment. The unemployment in NY went crazy and the program was not ready for anything of this magnitude. I was a tiny piece in helping people through the process. I believe i helped many people feel listened to and helped Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 My children are grown. We have been having group chats on Facebook. Everyone had become distant as we all live in different states or countries and life is busy. Now with extra time in our lives we have reconnected. My son and his family came to live at my home as they had such anxiety and difficulty living in NYC. It was extremely trying to live 24 hrs a day with a 4 year old when i havent been used to having kids in the home and i am not leaving home even for work. And a challenge to work while having a young child at your feet If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 No. But it has been fun to see ways people have celebrated graduations and seniors. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Social media has been fun as my children have helped talk me through using it. My cell phone was too old to do work from home. I ended up getting a new one fairly early on. I also did not have Microsoft products installed so it was not possible to edit my work documents. Internet has been a complication for many. It has been a goal of my boss to get hot spots created for people to have internet access. I have learned about zoom meetings and conference calls. My kids have played games with each other through social media. Church meetings are through social media. I am not one to use Facebook much but have found myself on it every day. This has been goid for my family Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Yes. My daughter had to change the date of her wedding. We had just purchased her wedding dress in February. The indecision and not knowing when or how to change the wedding has been stressful. We are attempting to have the wedding in August. We know not everyone will likely be able to come. My son also had to postpone a major project he had been working on for a year Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have a dog and cat. They have cheered me. I have loved walking my dog more. We both feel better. The vet was the first experience i had after starting the pandemic. I was amazed how easily we adapted with no contact! What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 My work has allowed me to help the unemployed. I have spread the word about community services and assistance available. I have listened, answered questions and helped people find job leafs that are still coming in. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 A coworker tested positive. She has a second job at a nursing home. She was quarantined but had few symptoms. She was fortunate If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish i had known that this was for such a long time. I didnt take everything i would end up needing from work. I also was unprepared and did not understand people were hoarding. I was only caught short on toilet paper and my office allowed me to take a large roll from work. I am glad i live as a prepared individual so i was pretty much ok. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I believe in being prepared in life. I have a go bag but i generally forget to keep it updated. I also have extra food, etc on hand. I have been through ice storms that took out electricity and gas for two weeks. We have found that people also need things to keep themselves busy and distracted or entertained. That is really important. But the pandemic isn't everything that is happening. We had an earthquake, a tornado and rioting. Our government is at odds and people are listening to politics instead of science. There comes a divide. Listening to too much media is not helpful.- it can generate anxiety and misinformation. Simplify your life and take care of each other. Live your life with hope and faith in God. And have plenty of toilet paper on hand! How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 One thing i do not think people have yet realized but i think may happen is that people have had a long enough break to find out how much life had gotten out of control and that we have survived well without doing all we were doing. When you go on vacation it takes time to unwind and then you go right back. This has given us enough time to look at activities and make changes to our lifestyle. I also think people’s health has likely improved with less stress and less eating out. Life has already changed with cashiers being behind plexiglass. I hate the masks as i have severe allergies and find it difficult to breathe with the mask on. Hopefully transportation will become safer and more clean. I am not sure how an airplane will accomplish this. People will likely work more from home and i wonder if that will change the use of real estate. I sincerely hope this makes a positive change for senior citizens and their care Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Relax and roll with the punches. Stay positive, be creative and positive. Life is about changing directions. We have had other new normals and survived.

Question 18 Obey rules established by thoughtful leaders like Gov Cuomo. We Americans paid a high price for having elected the wrong President in 2016. The worst in our history when we needed strong leadership like Gov Cuomo. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 More working from home. Less air travel. Heavier reliance on technology for news,education in schools and help like medical care. Less human interaction. Very sad. Very lonely. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I fell sad that my life is ending amidst such uncertainty and change. Much of what made my life worth living is gone never to be experienced by my grandchildren. I McNeill miss it for the rest of my life. I turn 80 this summer and doubt many of my pleasures will return. Travel, theater, sports, visits with family, restaurant dinners, attending school events of my grandchildren, freedom to hug friends. A pervasive stress and sadness permeates everything. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 My sons school closed. There was a report of cases in the area and I had no idea how many people would get it and that my sons school would be closed from March till hopefully September.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 29 Date 06/09/2020 Location The location of the interview White Plains, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I first started reading news stories about COVID-19 in China around January or February. I was following the stories and getting increasingly paranoid about it because cases started appearing in this country on the west coast in March. I am from lake George, NY but at the time I was living in White Plains, NY, attending to law school. Many of the flights from overseas were redirected to JFK, which was a half hour away from my apartment in White Plains. Although I had been reading about COVID-19, I never expected the extent to which it would impact me. I assumed that the U.S. could keep it at bay, or that it wasn’t that big of a deal. The media had talked about the idea of quarantine and masks but it seemed outrageous. When Italy got the coronavirus I started to get a little more alarmed but I still did not think it would impact us as hard. The first case that was near my town was in New Rochelle, around 20 minutes south, and the patient was a super spreader. I was very alarmed when I started seeing that people in surrounding towns were contracting COVID-19. The cases in New Rochelle were multiplying quickly and it became known as a hot spot and the national guard had to be deployed. One day in law school, we heard that Fordham Law and NYU law had announced they were closing campus and resuming studies online. Our school announced it would be suspending in person classes the next day. My last day of in person classes was March 11. On that day, the NBA suspended their season and the WHO announced that COVID-19 was a pandemic. The stock market plunged and a travel ban from Europe was announced. I was really scared that day because I knew the NBA wouldn’t cancel March madness, which profits them millions, without a national emergency. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 As I am writing this, NY has officially flattened the curve. During the height of the pandemic, I only left my house to go to the grocery store. The trip there was scary and always gave me anxiety that I had picked up COVID at the store. Originally, the CDC told us not to wear masks, so no one had them on. Everyone tried to be distant, but it was difficult. I would spray all of my groceries with bleach after I got home, as well as wiping down my phone and keys. I washed my hands whenever I would leave and come back to the apartment. I mostly cooked, baked, and watched a lot of TV during quarantine. For a few weeks, grocery stores were ransacked and had no food in them. The meat, toilet paper, eggs, and potatoes were always sold out. Face masks, hand sanitizer, and soap were also. I was with my boyfriend for the first two weeks, and then alone for over a month, before I moved back to Albany, NY in mid May. Life is lonely in quarantine but is getting back to normal now. I didn’t see any of my friends or family in person for two months, so I spent a lot of time on the phone with everyone. Life is still different now, even though we are in phase 2 of reopening the economy, because we all have to wear face masks out in public. However, I am not as paranoid about catching it because the cases have been very low recently. Life is also different because law school has been fully online since March. I go to Pace Law School and they have given us the option of online classes for the fall semester and said that regardless, classes will be fully online after Thanksgiving break. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I was very lonely and stressed in the beginning of quarantine in March but I am feeling much better now. During quarantine, I would cook and bake a lot!! I would also clean all the time. Quarantine was very boring so I would call my friends and family as well. I was also very obsessed with the news during this time and I would be reading or watching it constantly, trying to figure out new information about COVID-19. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I noticed that communities started holding car parades for kids birthdays so they could still be celebrated during quarantine. In the 518, they did the rainbow challenge, where rainbows would be posted all around the 518 area to cheer people up. I also noticed that people started to get donations to feed health care workers who were working long shifts. It surprised me how many people signed up to volunteer as health care workers and it was really moving because at the time, it was a scary thing. I noticed that zoom was utilized for all sorts of things. My family had Easter dinner on zoom, my classes are held on it, and I had a group chat with my friends as well. It surprised me that our whole economy was able to just stop and that we were able to all stay home for two months. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No I was not but I know that New Yorkers were able to get unemployment, even though it took awhile. I have many friends on unemployment right now and they also receive an extra 600$ weekly from the federal government. I also know that NY re opened the marketplace during the quarantine so that people who lost their health insurance from their job could retain it. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I am going to law school from home. I was unable to find a summer internship for law so I am attending summer classes. I like going to school online. The only challenge is that it’s hard to get yourself to work hard because it isn’t as stressful being called on at home. A lot of teachers don’t cold call on zoom, so it was easier to slack off after we went online. However, many of the teachers have started calling on people again, making it harder to slack off while doing the homework. Going to school online leaves open a lot of time that you would normally be using to get ready for the day, drive to school, park, and walk. Taking finals online at home completely erased my test anxiety and I really liked it. Mostly, taking a final at home was similar to in school. The teachers tried to eliminate cheating or looking up answers by increasing the amount of questions. Furthermore, generally a lot of exams are open book regardless because the important part is how to apply the law. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 Yes school was moved fully online. It is optional to return in person in the fall. I will not be returning because I like online classes. Furthermore, my school announced that all in person classes will be moved to online after thanksgiving break. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I used it for entertainment, news, and communication. There was a lot of funny content online during the pandemic. I watched TikTok, and saw a lot of funny memes about coronavirus. I use zoom for online classes and to meet with my family. I used snap chat a lot to send pictures to friends. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 No it was my 29th birthday on May 14th, but the pandemic was dying down in upstate NY by that time. I had a few close friends over for a bbq. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 No, I wanted to but my apartment doesn’t allow pets. I’m hoping to in the fall during the second wave of COVID-19 that’s expected. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Cheering for health care workers at 7pm, feeding health care workers, community social distancing parades, birthday parades, teacher parades, awesome online content, the world coming together against the same thing. The black lives matter movement just blew up(I think partly because everyone has been home in quarantine) and there’s been some really positive changes regarding race and the police. Also my boyfriend is able to finish school in a year now because all college classes are online so he can take classes at two different schools. My brother was able to move down to Florida but keep his job in New York City! Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Not to my knowledge but I heard it ranges from being a symptomatic to being the flu from hell. I know it affects everyone differently. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I hadn’t stocked up on groceries and cleaning supplies, which I wish I did. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 We had no clue it was coming for us. Our government did a horrible job at preparing us or warning us. Make sure the government has a pandemic plan in place. It took a little getting used to, but it wasn’t all that bad. Stock up on toilet paper, masks, cleaning supplies, hand sanitizer, and meat(but don’t wait until the last minute like everyone else did and cause shortages). Get things to do to keep you occupied. If you like video games, get a console and games! Buy art supplies. You will get so bored that anything will help you lol. Also buy hiking shoes because the only thing there is to do is go outside! How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think that a lot of businesses will keep their employees working at home if they can because it is a cheaper option for the employers and employees. I am hoping that schools will make it a new normal to offer all classes online as well. I think grocery delivery will become the new normal as well.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 34 Date 06/08/2020 Location The location of the interview Schuylerville, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I first became aware of Covid towards the end of February. My husband was going to fly for a business trip and I was very worried. He decided to cancel the trip and stay home. During the next couple of months we bunkered down in our house and only left to grocery shop which we did every 2.5 weeks. Our son was in kindergarten during this time so I was focusing on homeschooling. Thankfully my husband has an office at the house so he was able to work from home. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 It seems the days go by faster now and I often forget what day of the week it is. My family and I still rarely leave the house. We don’t visit with friends anymore. We have only been visiting with a select few family members. When I grocery shop now I do bring my son with me but wear our masks at all times while in public. Being he’s so young he doesn’t understand fully what occurred with this pandemic. My husband and I tried to keep the news off and minimal talk about covid-19 while in front of him. However what we did talk to our son about is importance of hand washing, wearing our masks and that there is a virus that has made some people sick. We always made sure to answer any questions he did ask. But we always kept things positive so we didn’t add any stress to him. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 My family and I have been doing well during this pandemic. The more current worry has been with the state of our nation and government. I wish for equality, peace and love for everyone. Our stress relief during this time has been hiking in the woods far away from people. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Since the outbreak I loved how the community participated in the 518 Rainbow Hunt. It was a beautiful thing to see while driving that people made art and hung rainbows all over the place. The other surprising thing I saw which disappointed me was how so many people were throwing their masks and rubber gloves on the ground outside the grocery stores. I also felt the atmosphere in most stores was very thick and people were rude. Kind of that survival of the fittest saying. People were being inconsiderate and taking more then they needed. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 I am a stay at home Mom, however my husband is a business owner. He doesn’t have any employees and his work is all done through the mail. So for a few weeks shipping his products was difficult when the boarders closed. Some of his customers are from over seas and had to wait a long time for shipping. Other then that my husband had normal hours. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 My son is 5 and goes to a private school. It was a bit of a challenge at such a young age to keep all the children connected via social media. I took it upon myself to use this time during quarantine to do additional homeschool with my son on top of what he was given from his School. Both my son and so truly enjoyed our one on one time we had for the last couple months. It got me to think outside the box and I had to get creative with not only arts and crafts but cooking projects for us to do together. I was trying to be resourceful and only use what we had in the house so we could stay in quarantine. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I actually find I’ve been using social media less. I felt overwhelmed with the amount of conflicting news and information that people were posting. I felt upset that so many parents were complaining about home schooling their kids. My son is my world and I felt this quarantine was an incredible opportunity for me to get to know him more and bond together. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We didn’t have to postpone any “major” life events however we miss the simple things like going out to the movies as a family and going to Chuck E. Cheese with friends. Instead we had movie night on fridays at our house. We would blow up the air mattress and rent a movie on amazon. We had different food taste tests for different movie nights. One night we did a pop corn taste test and made 10 different kinds. Another movie night we did a cottage cheese taste test. I had no idea that cottage cheese can taste so different! Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have a lot of pets. A dog, chickens, snails, fish, cats and parakeets. The biggest impact was not being able to go to the store weekly for pet supplies. Instead I was buying in bulk and did a cat litter subscription on amazon so I just got delivered. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 The most positive thing that has taken place has been the emotional healing. Having so much time apart from people and society gave time to reflect. I have found peace with taking my hikes in the forest. I started painting again and my house got really clean and organized while in quarantine. I appreciate my husband even more then I ever did before. I appreciate his hard work and dedication to our family. I appreciate my son for his positive outlook on life and for the love and passion he has for animals and nature. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I knew a few people that had covid-19. Their symptoms were different. One person felt fine and just had a headache while the other person was in the hospital. Everyone recovered just fine. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 At least have a few extra rolls of toilet paper. That was CRAZY!!! I can’t believe the paper products section was empty for weeks. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 There truly is no way to prepare for something like this. However I guess my best advice is to always have a little extra food in your house, keep some cash in your house too just in case you are unable to get to the bank. If you can always offer a lending hand to those in need especially the elderly. Don’t forget about your furry friends they also need help too! How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think the pandemic will forever change our lives and not necessarily for the better. I think we have lost many freedoms as a result of this. I don’t necessarily believe what I hear and read on the news anymore. I believe that the government uses fear as a way to control people. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I think this pandemic was a crazy experience to go through. I feel so deeply for the families that lost loved ones. I fear that this is only the beginning of many challenges to come in our future. I worry for my sons future. My husband and I have made it one of our duties to teach our son how to be more self sufficient, teach him how to garden, raise chicks, cook and fix things with tools. I can’t predict the future but i will do everything in my power to give my son the knowledge to help him survive.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 When the senior center meal site where I go to for nutrition and socialization closed.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 In the first week of March. The gravity of the situation felt closer to home as to all intents the virus went from Wuhan in China to my hometown in 3 weeks. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Both my older kids were furloughed. My youngest hasn’t been at school and is missing her friends and I haven’t been able to spend any time with my Mother. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I’m feeling ok. I find myself more tired than normal. I play the guitar to relax. I found in the first few weeks that I struggled to read as much as I usually do. I definitely found it more difficult to concentrate. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 How easily people can isolate. Are you a business owner who has had to close?

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 There were really two different events that made COVID-19 seem like more than just a news article. When the nursing facility where my mom lives closed down access to outsiders and kept the members in their rooms and when the NBA suspended its season in the span of 2 hours. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I work from home and I practice social distancing. This means not going for a hike where other people are already hiking, less frequent trips to the grocery store, and being mindful of others. I also haven't seen my parents in several months as both of them are considered high risk. I've also noticed that my reading habits have changed. I used to really enjoy heartrenching stories but I tried to read Overstory and I just couldn't do it. So I've basically switched to Sci-fi. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Honestly, I'm not as stressed out as I was in March and April. I have a nightly cocktail, play video games online with my brother, read ebooks, and help my wife with her garden. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I wasn't but my wife has been furloughed. It was a confusing process to collect unemployment but she has been able to collect. She has been able to maintain her health insurance but she may have to pay her employer for her health insurance from her unemployment cheques, we just haven't heard anything yet. We are also not sure if she will be laid off. And we really won't know until maybe August. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes, I'm working from home and I really enjoy it. I've often thought about the pointlessness of driving to an office building just to sit in front of a machine when I could do the same work from the comfort of my apartment. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I have really fallen for TikTok. After I eat lunch I usually spend the rest of the lunch break browsing the app. It has been fun to watch the trends change over the months. Back in March, my feed was a ton of "blinding light" dances, the kimchi nurse, lipsyncs, and practical jokes. That has all disappeared since the protests began. Now my feed is full of police in riot gear, tear gas, and tips for protestors. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My mom's birthday, which I almost totally forgot about. It just wasn't something I was even thinking about. Like people still have birthdays during a pandemic, people are getting married, and graduating from school. So we met virtually and we sent her some jars of cake. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Black Lives Matter is sweeping the nation. Also, I think more people realize how important it is to spend time with your family. I like to hope that the pandemic will cause us as a society to re-evaluate what is truely important. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I personally know of a few people. One from my wife's office and he was in the hospital for several days on a ventilator and his wife was at home and was unable to visit him and had no phone contact for several days. So far 5 people at my mother's nursing facility have died, she can look out the window and see their empty rooms from across the courtyard. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 When I began to take the pandemic seriously I remembered that my great grandfather had died during the 1918 pandemic. There are only two things I know about him: he worked in a cinema as a projectionist and he died during the pandemic. I also thought about how generations pass on warnings. I lived in Japan when the tsunami hit in 2011 and one of the things that caught my attention was stories about Tsunami Stones. These are stones that marked the location of high water during past tsunamis they are hundreds of years old carrying messages carved in stone warning future generations not to build below these markers. I wonder what my great-grandfather's advice would be and I wonder how we can pass on a lasting message to future generations about this global event. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I have no idea. As New York state is slowly reopening and there is cause for concern that there will be a second wave either in the near future or come autumn. But also who would have thought that two weeks ago our country would be protesting in the streets for BLM. I hope the new normal is a better place.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I work at an international boarding school, so some of my Chinese students knew od people affected by the virus. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 It is different in many ways. We have less income as my husband lost his part- time job of twenty years. I had to teach using ZOOM for the past two months and I have had to us the computer much more. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel " different". Part of my habits now include making sure I have a mask in our cars. I have been reading and writing to relieve stress. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I have noticed more recently that less people are wearing masks. It has surprised me how divided we are on that safety issue. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 I am a seasonal business owner. My summer business is called Tubular Tubes. I am unable to open as my business falls under recreational. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 As of today, I do not have a teaching contract for next year. I think I will be laid off. The worst part is the not knowing. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I was working from home when school was in session, however I often had to use the library WIFI as I have spotty internet. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I prefer using the internet sparingly, but had to Zoom with my students. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We had major events last year, so we have not been impacted too much. I was suppose to travel for pleasure in March, but had to cancel due to Covid. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Yes, we have animals. We live on Happy Kids Farm. We had 34 kids this kidding season. Our dog and cats serve as de- stressors. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I noticed that people have slowed down. I see more kids riding bikes, and more people fishing. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I do know someone sho contracted COVID-19. They were " sick" for 3 days. She was not able to " taste" food. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 This is the hardest question for me. I like to have answers to questions, so I wish and I still wish that people will take this serioulsy. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I do not think you can prepare for a pandemic. Once you know that you are living in a pandemic- you need to be patient and you need to be informed. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I worry that there will be less physical contact - we were headed that way due to technology. We are humans and we crave touch. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I Do you think there will be another wave of the pandemic? I read the book The Great Influenza of 1918 and there are many similarities as it relates to press coverage- who to believe and the unimaginable losses of life.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 42 Date 06/04/2020 Location The location of the interview Ballston Spa, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I began hearing about it in February, but really thought it wasn't anything more than a flu-type illness. On March 13th - and this was very sudden- we learned that the schools were closing for a month. Suddenly it became very scary. A friend and I went shopping to stock up on things and there was already no toilet paper anywhere. Even then I didn't realize it would be the last time I got to shop with a friend for who knows how long. Back then we weren't even wearing masks, just washing our hands a lot. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I'm on furlough from my job running a before-and-after school program, which is actually good because I have a 6th grader at home as well as an almost-3-year-old whose sitter is now only open part time. So I have been a stay-at-home Mom which I LOVE and I'm already sad that I will have to go back to work when it resumes. We grocery shop once a week and do not go anywhere else- except that we have been going hiking every weekend, which I love, and we go out for ice cream as much as possible to get the kids a treat. We also bought our toddler's birthday power wheels almost two months early because it made us very sad when she would ask over and over to go to the playground and we had to tell her it was closed. Usually at this time of year we would be spending a lot of time at playgrounds, and making plans to go to the county fair, Irish Fest, and camping. Not this year. I also had tickets to two big concerts, one of which got cancelled and the other postponed until next year. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am feeling much better now that the initial chaos is over. I actually really like being home with my kids, and the extra unemployment money is making it so that we are lucky enough not to feel it financially. We hike a lot. I play with the kids. We get a lot of ice cream. I am nervous about going back to work- I work with kids, and they are very germy on the best of days. I'm also not sure how my job is going to look when it resumes. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Just the obvious- take out only, wearing masks, playgrounds closed. I have seen so many people on the hiking trails. My little girl has learned to stay away from people (which makes me sad) but she yells HI at them, and people always say hi back. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am not, but my husband works for DOL- unemployment. He has been working from home since the beginning of April. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I am furloughed as of March 16th, but my employer was able to pay us for another month. Getting unemployment was a huge struggle, but I did get it successfully. My health insurance is through my husband so we're good there. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I'm not, but my husband is. My daughter likes to "help" him so I'm sure that's interesting for him. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 My son is almost 12. There have been a lot of battles over school work and video games, but I'm sure at his age there would be lots of battles anyway. My daughter is almost 3, and her licensed in-home sitter is still open part time, so my daughter still goes part time to maintain her spot and her schedule. Our sitter has been part of our life for 11 years and we trust her implicitly, and it is a very small place with only a couple of other kids. My daughter loves it there. The other days she is home with us, and we've been having a lot of fun exploring trails, playing in her sandbox and wading pool, and making baked goods! If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Definitely way more than before. Lots of Zooming and Facetime with family. Watching Gov. Cuomo EVERY DAY. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My son's 12th birthday party. We are holding a day-long, assigned-time birthday party for my daughter in July with masks and social distancing. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Three cats, who could care less that we are home more. Except the youngest one who LOVES US SOOOO MUCH. My son's hamster died and we had to go to Petsmart with masks on to get a new one. Her name is Liza. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I feel like I have been in touch with my friends more as we are all checking in on each other. The 518 Rainbows are awesome and my daughter did one that is in our window. The Barenaked Ladies have been doing weekly Selfie Cam Jams, and their lead singer has been doing weekly hour-long free shows to raise money for charities. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 No one I know who is close to me. My cousin's father-in-law passed away from it, and my sister's best friend's husband had it but recovered. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How serious things were going to get so quickly What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 More research needs to be done on how we can prepare for and prevent things like this. Our president was a FAILURE and handled it very poorly. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I have no idea. None at all. I feel like we still don't know the first thing about this illness and we are reopening too quickly, and the number of cases is going to skyrocket in a couple weeks.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 48 Date 06/04/2020 Location The location of the interview Wilton, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I was first concerned about COVID-19 in January 2020. I had to travel by train and spend time in a crowded city for a few days. I always take extra precautions during flu season and felt safe enough without many details about the virus. I had to travel again at the end of February by plane and was aware that I could come into contact with the virus because it was "in the US." Two weeks later we were in lock down. I would not have done anything differently except stayed home from my trip in February. I am grateful that I was safe - mask no, scarf yes. Hand sanitizer and wipes when soap and water were not available. I suppose my interest in epidemics and virology via horror books has paid off. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I have all the time in the world. Things that I would compress in a limited time before and after work, can be done all day. I'm not rushing to do anything. No hurry up and wait. I wish it would last forever...this way of living, not the pandemic. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I enjoy working from home but I feel like I'm in a bubble and not part of reality. I miss humanity - the good, bad, quirkiness, differences, color and ideas. It's not the same behind a video camera. I practice yoga, run, walk, bike and hike. I have a lot good habits that have not been put to the side. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I don't get out much but I realize that I have a lot of privilege to stay home. My only observation is that inside spaces, most people adhere to social distancing and face coverings. Outside spaces, most people are not. I love that the people, organizations and businesses that I support have found innovative ways to connect. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I am using Instagram and Flickr to photo-document my experience. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 My cats are happy that I am home more since I have to recreate local. They sleep all day or become needy...it's very inconsistent. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Wash your hands, stay home if you are not feeling well and continue to innovate, expand your inner circle and know who you can depend on and trust. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I don't think much will change; perhaps no more handshakes and less travel for work because we have proven that virtual works. Hybrid means to work and provide services to customers.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I knew there was a sickness as I headed off to Paris for a 2 week vacation with my sister and some friends but I had no real understanding how serious it was. We left on January 27, 2020 and returned on February 8. I still heard little about COVID up until that point. On Friday, February 14, my 93 year old mother was hospitalized in Albany. I was with her every day until she was released to rehab a week later. My siblings and I took turns going to the facility to keep her company because they were short staffed and the care was lacking. In early March, she had a stroke and was completely incapacitated on her right side. She couldn’t eat, walk, or talk. So we took shifts every day to make sure she was fed. Shortly after, the facility shut down. That was the last time we saw our mother. She couldn’t speak to us on the phone and because of her dementia, she thought we had abandoned her. She died on April 26 with no contact from her family for 6 weeks. We couldn’t have a funeral so we have had no closure. My Mom’s ashes are in a closet at the funeral home waiting for the church to O.K. a service. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I haven’t seen my daughter since Thanksgiving because she doesn’t want to infect me. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel sad that at a time in my life when I should be enjoying my golden years, I am confined to my home. I read a lot but it’s not as enjoyable. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No...retired. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Zoom for a lot of meetings. FaceTime to see family. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My mother’s funeral. Planning a wedding for my daughter. Canceled two European trips Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 n/a What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I donated most of my stimulus check to organizations in need because I did not lose any income. I still work at a food pantry once a week. I led a drive to raise $12000 for the Regional Food Bank Backpack Program for my retirement group Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I always wondered if my Mom had it given her symptoms. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 My Mom. We haven’t yet. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish i’d known more about pandemics. I’ve spent a lot of time reading about them while sheltering in place. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I hope this next generation honors science. I’m appalled that so many discredit the information that is out there as though it is there to make their lives inconvenient. I hope the mistakes we have made are well documented and that we could have saved thousands of lives if we’d listened to the experts. Governor Cuomo was a true leader! How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I would like to think people would prepare for these dire situations by saving money, stocking food, and nurturing important relationships. They probably won’t though.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 71 Date 06/29/2020 Location The location of the interview Clifton Park, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I realized in mid January 2020 that this virus would be more serious than we were being told. By February 1, I thought everybody should be wearing some kind of mouth covering. Friends came down with Covid19 but, fortunately, everyone recovered. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Every year, my husband and I travel to some interesting place in Europe or Asia. In 2019, we spent three weeks in Russia and two weeks in Egypt. Our May 2020 Europe cruise was canceled, and I was relieved. We're thinking about doing more traveling in the U.S. rather than overseas. This is the first time in my life that I have had to consider my age in deciding whether to travel and where to travel. My favorite pandemic story is that I had to mail a box full of toilet paper to my married daughter in Long Island. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I'm like most people. We just have to get through this with as much serenity and common sense as possible. Fortunately, one of my children and a young adult granddaughter live near me. They have been shopping for us. Our granddaughter sewed some masks for both my husband and me because, "I love you and I don't want you to die, Grandma." I was touched. We miss the YMCA but we're walking. I'm figuring out how to to download books. We play cards and checkers and put together jigsaw puzzles. My husband and I both miss our church, Jonesville Methodist, but the entire church community has been making an effort to keep in touch by phone or computer or cards. On my birthday, a church friend picked flowers from her garden and left a lovely bouquet on my doorstep. At Easter, a couple who bike went to about 30 houses, socially distancing as they rang bells, wished us happy Easter and left plastic eggs with little surprises in them. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 There are so many nice people living in my area. I think people are trying even harder to be friendly. I've seen a couple of unpleasant episodes - one angry guy getting overly upset over wearing a mask, and a white woman who insulted an Asian woman in the supermarket. My minister and his family are Korean. I hope they haven't experienced any trouble. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 Fortunately, we both are retired. Our income was not affected. My cleaning lady lost several customers because of job loss, furloughs, and telecommuting. One son-in-law will be furloughed until the fall. However, both my cleaning lady and my family are doing just fine, financially. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 We're retired. One son-in-law is an essential worker in Long Island. He is working mandatory overtime and he is tired. The company is taking stringent precautions to keep their workers healthy. My granddaughter is an essential worker. She prefers to work, but her hours have been cut. She'd actually make more if she had been laid off and collected unemployment and the stimulus package. She works in a store that has an excellent social distancing policy, and all orders come in by phone or online. The customer pulls up, pops the trunk, she puts the order in the trunk, closes it, and waves them on their way. She'd rather keep busy working than collect unemployment. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 Again, we are retired and nothing changed for us. Fortunately, my children, in-laws, and grandchildren are doing well financially, even with some cut-backs. Nobody is in danger of losing his health insurance. My high school grandson and my college grandson both developed jobs that are giving them a steady income during the summer. The high schooler is running errands, shopping for people, and doing yard work. The college kid is a Rubik's champion who found sponsors to pay him to test products and write about cubing. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Neither of us is working from home. I am doing some volunteer work, but I do not like Zoom. I've also been tutoring my six-year-old granddaughter in reading and math. We use the computer, Facetime, email, snail mail, and texting. That worked out better than I had hoped. My accountant daughter and my admin asst daughter are working from home. They say it is more efficient and productive than working in an office. My son has his own writing business for 20 years, so he can work wherever he has access to a phone and a computer. However, his workload was reduced due to the Coronavirus. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 My older granddaughter graduated from Hudson Valley in May. She took two courses this past spring. When the courses went online, it was difficult for her. One teacher was fine. The other teacher was clueless about distance learning. I spent hours each week tutoring my granddaughter in the difficult course. My younger granddaughter's kindergarten teacher was so upset by the whole pandemic experience, that she decided to retire two years early. None of my grandchildren enjoyed the online experience. Online education is very different from classroom teaching; they're two very different methods. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I am downloading reading material, but I would much rather have a book in my hand. I like reading the news online or via video. I haven't been out to dinner with friends in four months, but we are phoning and Facetiming. Thank goodness for BBC and PBS shows on tv. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We missed a high school graduation and a community college graduation. One relative missed her prom. A friend turned 90, and we had a parade of decorated cars drive past her home. We had a social distance 50th birthday for 8 people and we held a baby shower/gender reveal party for 24 people in a huge backyard where we could socially distance. Everyone also had masks. Easter was quiet; there was no family dinner. We celebrated everything. We just had to get creative about how to do it safely. We'll see the Fourth of July fireworks in August. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have two small dogs. Not much changed for them, either. They're used to having us home. We take them on six half-mile walks each day. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Despite being cooped up together so much, my husband and I enjoyed each other's company. It's good to know you can face inconveniences and survive. I think our relationships with all four of our grandchildren are stronger because we talked with them more often and we sent each other daily texts. I got all the sticks picked up from my front lawn, and the weeding is done. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Nobody close to us contacted Covid-19. Some church friends contacted it, but their cases were all fairly mild and they recovered within a month. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That my hoarder husband wasn't such a fool because he bought 120 rolls of toilet paper at the end of December 2019. It was a great sale and he had a manufacturer's coupon AND a store coupon. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I think the people who rushed to the beaches took foolish risks. The White House knew by mid December that a pandemic was in the works. I wish they had been more forthright. I wish the government had recommended face masks back in January. We should have had an adequate stock of PPE. The federal government did a terribly chaotic job in dealing with the pandemic. This may be the age of technology, but if you don't have a vaccine, you're vulnerable. I'd ask them to compare this pandemic to the 1918 Spanish flu and the 14th century Black Death. We are lucky we did not experience that type of horrible illness. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I just don't know. There is more online shopping, but I think that will happen anyway. I hope there is more telecommuting. I hope that the education system and the colleges puts more effort into teaching teachers, from K to post-grad, how to teach effectively online. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 No. Thanks for conducting this survey of our thoughts and experiences.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Early February There was no change in my reaction. I fully realized what a pandemic is and what it meant for our society How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 It is more reclusive due to social isolating How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel fine physically, but realize that my mentation is not as sharp. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 We are limited in interpersonal contacts Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No, I'm retired but still working sporadically as a medical writer. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 No, my children are grown up and live in other states If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I sometimes use Zoom Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Yes, I have pets and they are wonderful companions. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 less air pollution. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Hard to say--Maybe I'd have taken out more books from the library. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 This is also hard to say. I suppose I'd warn them about isolation and subsequent depression. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I suppose we will all be grateful to be alive and well. Maybe we will all be kinder to others, I hope. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 65 Date 06/29/2020 Location The location of the interview Emsworth, Pennsylvania When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March 10, 2020. I went shopping on that day and ran into short supplies. I went to 4 stores trying to buy sanitizer and couldn't. A week later I had symptoms of the virus but couldn't discern whether it was an immune disease I have or the COVID-19. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I have been in isolation almost completely since March 11. I have been working from home since early 2016. That hasn't changed. I cannot visit any doctors' offices. That means my immune disease is not getting the usual assessments such as lab work. I see my doctor's online. My rheumatologist moved to a different state in March and my PCP retired. I feel neglected. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I have been working on a book I am writing and am pleased that I am not wasting time in commuting to meetings! I do most of my consulting business online anyway so my income has not changed. All my groceries get delivered--and they are never right and there are still lots of shortages. I couldn't get hand soap or paper towels for over 3 months. My balcony garden is the best it has ever been. The balcony is my way to get out of the house and into the sunshine. Bliss! I am getting to long delayed redecorating projects at home. I also allow myself to listen to music of all kinds to relax. I keep a journal to process anxiety and anger as I have for many decades. I talk to a Jungian therapist once a week. I am a bona fide bibliophile so I am reading A LOT. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 There is hostility everywhere. One of the maintenance men who came to fix the plumbing and lay new kitchen floors felt somehow he could respond to my Yankee hospitality by identifying my home state of New York as the "shit-hole of the world". I see battle lines drawn on neighborhood social media over masks that get down and dirty quickly. Twitter has become toxic. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 I own a consulting business. In that capacity I am currently a co-investigator in a study of people with multiple chronic health conditions that is comparing outcomes between telemedicine and wrap around services with professional who go into the patients' homes. We stopped home visits on March 15. The graph of our enrollment dropped like a champion skier off a mountain. I'm working on assignments for the study team and community stakeholders for the fall. The size of the newsletter I write has increased four-fold! Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 No I am not essential. I am the ethicist in-residence if you will. I think ethicists should be considered essential but--well the book is on ethics in the entire universe of health care. the collapse of the health care system in the pandemic might force us all to see that changes must come. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes I am as I have been for four year. I enjoy the decrease in stress from not having to drive in heavy Pittsburgh, PA traffic. Not having to deal with all the driving, even for errands, as I have so much delivered, I am able to focus for extended periods of time. the challenges have to do with my emotional health with the police brutality I see and the mind bending incompetence of the federal response, or lack thereof, to the pandemic. The challenge is to not become despairing. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 I have one named Sophie. She is a 2-year-old calico. she loves the plants on the balcony too. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I have reduced my Facebook to almost zero and significantly reduced Twitter as well due to the hostility expressed. That is a shame. Social media was a source of connection for me as my illness keeps me house bound as a rule and all doctors tell me to stay home. I got enormous enjoyment being part of a watch party for an historical TV show (TURN:Washington's Spies) until it turned itself. It got horribly toxic due to Trump supporters thoughts about patriotism. I do my work online as a rule so it is business as usual. I get lectures online (National Constitution Center, museum virtual tours, etc) that keep me intellectually stimulated. I saw this on C-Span! Thank God for BookTV! Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 See above (question 9) for my 2-year-old calico who is very happy that I am home all the time now. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I hope that my work on liberative health care ethics will make a long-term positive impact. It centers in premature morbidity and mortality that is being expressed in those being most affected by COVID-19. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I did in early March. I have not been able to see any doctor in his office. Two doctors offered the opinion that I did indeed contract it but there was no testing available. I was simply home and very sick alone. I was one of the many who take hydroxychloraquine daily to keep my disease from progressing or being fatal. We were all very afraid when the White House Administration touted it as a "game changer". For us it is. I ran out at the end of March when I was so sick. I did get a 3-month supply in April. The biggest take-away was the almost unspeakable fear and loneliness that goes with being an "elder orphan" and not having anyone to help with cooking, laundry, and simply being there for comforting emotional support. I attend two churches. Both went exclusively online of course. Neither pastor nor elders could come visit. I work in health care. No one much even asked if I was okay. We all hear stories about the heroes. That is because we want to feel we are good and kind. When it comes down to actually going grocery shopping or throwing in a load of laundry or making dinner for a baby boomer we take comfort in believing someone else is doing it. I did have one neighbor offer to buy some groceries in March. That was lovely and very much appreciated. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 I did not lose anyone personally. I wept often though, knowing what was gong on with the poor, sick and elderly in the nursing homes and hospitals and dying by themselves in their homes. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I changed both my PCP and my rheumatologist in March. I wish I knew both doctors who replaced them before I got the virus. It would have been nice to have an established relationship with the men who ended up being on my computer screen. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I would want them to know how utterly unprepared we were in health care both in the way we educate and employ workers at all levels. I want them to see how a profit-driven health care system is morally bankrupt and in need of an overhaul. I want them to understand how important it is to build community support systems and personal relationships with people at all age levels and economic status. I want them to know that ageism is an evil just as much as misogyny and white supremacy. I want them to realize when adversity hits we survive together or we perish together. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 As a person who has been working in the public health system since 1989 I can say we do not know how this will change us going forward. We are not merely going through a pandemic. We are simultaneously going through another stage in women's rights, gun violence protests, police brutality, as Black Lives Matter is changing us, we are seeing that we are allowing dark skinned poor people to die unnecessarily as we have been doing unawares till now. All the while we have the most corrupt and incompetent White House in our 240+ years of being a government. We'll see. We are in the midst of the trauma of all those things coming at us at once. We will either be a failed experiment as a liberal democratic republic or we will live up to our potential with the virtue and honor of the men and women who won our independence from oppression. Let's hope the new normal will be a total reformation of who we are as a people. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Before you reprint any of this please correct the typos!!!! Also, I am looking for folks who are willing to read my material for editing and suggestions. If you know anyone please give them my email mjparkmdiv@aol.com or mjparkccw@gmail.com @imemjae. Thanks for doing this!

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 61 Date 06/28/2020 Location The location of the interview Saratoga Springs, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I became aware when Italy was on the news everyday with it's count going up. 2 pharmacist in our area were COVID 19 positive and that really brought it home to me. At first I thought masks in the store were a little over the top but even before it became a mandate I became a believer. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My husband and I have learned the importance of clearly communicating....and I would have thought we already did that well but this was a challenge that we had to find our way thru. We see our friends less. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 At times I feel very stressed by the overall change in our life and the news can be a big addition to that. I try very hard to turn off the news, walk outside, work in my yard, talk to family and friends and remember to breath. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People seem kinder and more patient with each other. I am surprised when people are critical of how an individual chooses to protect themselves and their family. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Yes, Registered Nurse - Hospice. I spend my days at Home of the Good Shepherd facilities. I have been wearing PPE since the very beginning. At home I originally felt I was likely to be "the vector" so stayed away from everyone but my husband. Now that it is June and Home of the Good Shepherd has remained free of COVID 19 I try to limit my contact so that I am not the person who brings COVID 19 to the facility. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Using the internet to BING watch old shows that are calming to my soul. Social media to stay in contact with friends. Zoom meeting for Rotary Club. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Yes, we have a cat - we always have cats so no change for us there What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I donated to the Franklin Community Center Food Pantry weekly - providing the foods they were requesting on Facebook. we have ordered out from local restaurants weekly at least. Since my husband and I both remained working thru all of this we have tried to follow the adage to tip well if you can. And to pay in cash so the server gets the whole amount. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 that I should never taking hugging my family (outside my house family - grown children - grandkids) for granted What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 That it is best to share - especially the high demand items like toilet paper. And remember people living on a tight budget cannot hoard and if we all shop normal there will be enough. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I have noticed kids playing outside more often and their parents playing with them. I believe that less organized sports supports families. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 My goal post pandemic is to not waste food. During the pandemic we only went to the grocery store once or at the most twice a week so were very aware of what we were buying and meal planning. Wasting food is as my parents told me a sin....so I hope to remember to use up leftovers and buy only what I need and will use.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I am an Elementary Classroom Aide in a local public school district. Our last day of in-person on-site learning was Friday, March 13, 2020. In May, employees returned to pack-up student belongings and close-down classrooms. Returning, it was as if time had stood still. St, Patrick's Day Decorations were on doors, calendars were unchanged, school work and art work hung on walls, homework was in bins. Each student's desk was emptied. Everything was moved from inside to the top. Textbooks were piled. Library books were collected. Personal belongings were packed-up - composition notebooks, pencil boxes, headphones. Traditional End-of-the-Year items were sent home early - Summer reading books, art projects, recorders from music, class photos. Everything representing a school year fit into one clear garbage bag. So sad. On the last day of school, everyone lines the bus port to wave as buses pull away honking and students scream. The start of Summer. This year, everyone lined the bus port, but, wearing face masks and socially distanced apart. Families were invited to drive the bus port in their own cars to wave. Posters, balloons, noise makers, clappers were brought to make it special. The joy was there, just different.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 64 Date 06/26/2020 Location The location of the interview Albany, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 One son works in the medical field. He had been sharing information with us earlier in the year. I realized the full impact when NYS began to shut down and the overarching fear there was not enough medical equipment and beds for the critically ill. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I acknowledge that I am lucky, as I can work from home and can afford food. I am now sharing my home with family members who left an area of the state that was a hotspot. I am putting fewer miles on my car, working longer hours and have learned how to wash my hands properly and won't leave home without my mask. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I watch mindless TV shows, cook more complicated meals, and have plans to tidy up the house (which I have failed to do). My stress ebbs and flows - like waves. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People in my neighborhood are more friendly. However, there have been a lot of shootings in other parts of the city. Also the mental health toll on friends and family. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Having four people work remotely within the frame of my home is challenging. There are issues with bandwidth, privacy and suitable desks and chairs. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 My adult child returned home. It is going fine - it is good to know he is as safe as he can be during a pandemic. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Facebook connects me with friends and family. I am texting with my friends, family, and co-workers. And I have become one with Zoom and GoToMeeting. In the beginning, I could not or did not want to join with friends for social hours because of the uncertainity and the feeling that I would never see them again. But now it is much easier. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 My dog gets more attention and more walks. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I learned that they had contracted COVID-19 after their recovery. It made the pandemic "real". If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 John Prine was one of my favorite composers, performers musicians. His early death to COVID-19 was heartbreaking - I listened to his music and read articles that celebrated his life and accomplishments. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I would have known how long this would last. I am very fortunate - and I realize that I have access to broadband and the equipment to do my work and connect with family and friends. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Appreciate your friends and family, prepare the necessary paperwork (living wills, health care proxy, wills), try to have your financial information available and shared. Figure out what is most important and focus on that. Finally, remember it is ok to laugh, even when things seem to be dire. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 People will work differently than before, and I fear a great toll on the economy will happen as a result of redirecting state and federal funds. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 It is almost a perfect storm happening in June 2020. The pandemic, hopefully social justice will occur,and end systemic racism and the divisiveness that is happening in the country. I fail to understand why people refuse to wear masks. I suppose they are the same people who refuse to wear seatbelts? Unfortunately, as the economy continues to fail, I am almost as fearful for our society as I am for the loss of life due to the virus.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 44 Location The location of the interview Glens Falls, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 It first occurred when I heard a public radio news broadcast with an interview with Governor Cuomo, in mid February. Along with talking about bail reform, He said there was a virus from China and they are monitoring the airports in NYC, taking temperatures. He said they found 7 people with fevers. I remember thinking that this is very peculiar...it was the first time I heard about COVID How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I’ve been through an extreme emotional roller coaster. COVID changed me forever. I’ve feared it, hated it, embraced it and learned who I am from it. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I met a man, our first date, on the day that business’ were due to close and socializing was ending at 8pm that night. He and I became fast friends and we had a beautiful love affair. That relationship saved me, kept me feeling alive. He worked at the hospital and I am an essential worker at a local non profit agency. My job kept me traveling throughout the pandemic. I was a frequent driver on the Northway. We’d survive work during the day and seek solace with each other at night...cooking together, discussing every little change that came along, trying to making sense of the chaos and the dreaded unknown. And the politics...we talked for hours about politics. And we made love...it healed us. It felt forbidden but he was my lifeline. The pandemic has come to a slow pace and we have parted ways peacefully...but he still makes me smile. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People are skittish, on edge and suspicious. People are overtly judgmental. On the flip side, people came together to support one another. Sharing food, personal care items and making masks. I think people have also become numb to the obvious contradictions and inconsistencies of this pandemic. So much was not logical or consistent. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Yes, I am an employment specialist. I have supported my clients (adults with developmental disabilities) in their jobs. They were nearly all working and I was right there with them supporting them as long as I could. My agency provided me with a laptop to be able to work from home if I chose to. I would alternate between home and the office. I also filled in for several roles in my agency when the need arrived. I worked janitorial shifts in March cleaning my office building. It was risky but there was hardly anyone around. I couldn’t go to the YMCA anymore so this was my workout. I has also had a relapse of my PTSD in January and my workplace had been a trigger. Spending time in the building cleaning every square inch helped me overcome my fear and work is a beloved place now, no longer a trigger. I made peace with a lot during that phase of my job. In addition, I covered working the reception desk and any other roles I could fill. I worked in one of the residential homes on the weekend. Work kept me grounded and gave me a purpose. Our executive director gave us workers a letter explaining we were essential workers, just in case we were stopped by the police for not being at home. I never had to show my letter but this frightened me just the same everyday that I worked. I also became determined to find as many cloth masks for my colleges and the people we support. I’m a single mom with not a lot of money but I spent hundreds of dollars obtaining hundreds of mask for my agency. I wanted everyone safe...that was so important to me. A lot of angels out there making masks. I shipped in masks from all over the country from woman hard at work at their sewing machines...safety was my number one priority and I took every precaution everyday at work. Twice coworkers I may have come into contact with tested positive. This wrecked me thinking I could have been exposed but it was determined I never was. That fear is so terrible you cannot breath. I took deep breaths lot and had to talk myself out of the panic surrounding COVID At home, my two sons and my father immediately went into a quarantine. I rarely let my sons (both teenagers) out of the house. We all moved during the pandemic. It’s a miracle and a blessing I found a new place Tom live so quickly. The process of moving was a welcome distraction for the pandemic. It was a pleasure which is funny because moving is typically one of the great stressors of life. Purging our belongings was cathartic. This pandemic, the move...it was the beginning of something new in our lives. I was determined to stay positive and make this a positive experience for my sons...we are all settled in now and happier than ever in our new home, Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No, this upsets me. Essential workers take all the risk and see none of the reward. Unemployed people have zero risk and see $600 + a week. I only make a fraction of this and mad working myself ragged some days...another example of the illogical. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 When workin* from home, I could unpack and still do work at the same time. It was a beautiful bit of timing in my life. Working from h9me saved me. I could help my sons with schoolwork and still earn a living. A LOT of flexibility....I hope we can still work from home after pandemic. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 My sons, 17 and 16, held up exceptionally well. They completed all their school work, with a lot of difficulty though. They had a hard time staying motivated. I’ll be honest, I’m grateful they were in high school during this...I could not have handled helping little ones through this lol...now THOSE are some special parents. Kudos to them!! My oldest was a senior in high school...it was touch8 g seeing the community rally for him and his fellow graduates, making their last year of school as special as they could. There were quarantine senior 2020 yard signs we displayed and adopt a senior program witch would mail my sone goodies throughout the pandemic. They handled it s9 incredibly well...it was not easy. My oldest son is 21 and a senior in college. He lives in Albany on his own now and it was heartbreaking to not see him. He did come up and helped us move. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I used Facebook a lot. 518 Rainbow Group, fun games with friends and uplifting content. I also used the internet to research the political scene and gather as much truthful info as I could. Cuomo’s daily breaking just to see what would happen next. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Cancelled: 2 proms, 1 senior trip, 2 graduations and my youngest son not able to get his drivers permit (the DMV closed just days before his 16th birthday—the party also cancelled) Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 My cat was happy we were all home all of the time to feed her more lol Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 My cousin in Long Island contracted it, quarantined for 17 days and recovered. A coworker died from it along with 2 clients my agency supported. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That I will not get COVID. That I will need toilet paper. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Practice self care and have a goodnight circle of support...you need people to get you through. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I wish I knew...I’m scared for the moving forward. This will have a strong impact for years to come. I pray it’s positive in ways I cannot imagine...

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 51 Location The location of the interview Glens Falls, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March 17. The last day I went into work at my office in the local YMCA. From then until today, I’ve been working from home. When Covid arrived here, I was very frightened. This is a new virus and the facts about it were unknown at the time; we only knew it was spreading easily and quickly. People were ending up on vents. I was quite scared. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I’m working from home instead of working at my office. Wearing masks has been a huge adjustment. I think about germs and catching something-not just Covid either. I miss the freedom of just going out in public, no mask, all stores open, not fretting all the time about the virus. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I’m very concerned about my job. Gyms are still not allowed to be open per the Governor, and I’m stressed about the future of the Y. To relieve stress, I read, take walks, ride my bike, and work on my 1888 Victorian home here in Glens Falls with my husband Joe. Our house has now lived through two pandemics. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People have thus far been very understanding and kind. I feel like most in our community want to help reduce the spread and help one another. The reaction to the local restaurants moving to takeout was huge! The community embraced this to help those businesses stay afloat. Families are spending a lot more time together at home. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 My husband is an essential worker at Albany Medical. The hospital took very high precautions during the pandemic. At home, we developed a routine to ensure my husband was not bringing inside anything that could be contaminated. We’ve gone through a lot of Lysol disinfectant. I’m grateful he has not contracted the virus. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 Not yet. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes I am. I actually love it and would enjoy it more if I felt that the Y would be ok long term. We cannot open the building yet. The challenges are financial sustainability. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I signed up for several different things; daily inspirational reminders, meditations, etc. our Y posts online workouts daily. I have participated in these too. I also stay informed using Facebook. The Governor posts videos and updates which I also watch. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My mom turned 70 in May. My family could not gather for the big celebration that we’d wanted to have. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Yes, a cat. He loves that I’m home every day! He’s like our child and he brings so much joy and love to our home. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 The takeout from local restaurants. We tried to do this once a week to support the local businesses. Also, people have spent a lot of time and care on their homes and yards this year, including us! Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I think knowing how long I’d really be working from home would’ve helped me settle into it better. The not knowing has been stressful. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Have some savings set aside. If you have room, start a dry goods pantry. If you have a storage freezer, keep that stocked and rotate it. Learn how to work from home if that makes sense for your job. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I feel that there’s a lot of mental health issues that will need attention. This has been a very difficult time. I also wonder how, when it’s safe, will we undo this OCD behavior regarding germs and cleanliness. It is going to take some time. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 If you’re a homebody, the quarantine will not be that hard on you.

There weren’t many cases in the county for quite a while. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 We still don’t eat out, but we order in occasionally. I order groceries online still. I don’t visit with anyone, unless it’s outside in small groups. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 We hike a lot. I do Zumba a lot which is dance fitness. I feel OK. Luckily this summer weather is beautiful. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March 12 at Stratton Mountain. There were very few people skiing and when we went to lunch in the Stratton Village, it was like a ghost town. My reaction did not change much. I thought it would be over by Memorial Day so obviously I was wrong on that. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am working from home almost exclusively How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am feeling good. I am lucky that my wife and kids are home and I get to spend more time with them now than when I was leaving for work every day. To relieve stress I concentrate on three things every day: Eat, Move, Sleep. I try and eat right, get some type of exercise every day, and make sure I get enough sleep. This will boost my immune system and I think health is as important now as it ever was. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I have not been able to socialize as much and I miss parts of that. What surprised me is how many people I see out and about walking. It seems like people need to get out of their houses and going for a walk through the village is a great way to do that. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I am working from home. I am surprised at how easy the transition has been. The biggest challenge has been sometimes my broadband lags and I may experience delays during a presentation or conference calls. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes. My children (15 & 12) have been home. They went through the homeschooling portion of the quarantine without much disruption. Now they are right into summer and we will see how that goes as they generally have a camp or two that they attend. I think the biggest thing they miss is the daily face to face interaction with their friends. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I am staying away from as much social media and internet as possible. Most of the information on there has a negative spin to it and I noticed that it would put me in a negative mindset. I stopped consuming news on those platforms as well because of the negative way it is presented and they way it made me feel. I worried that I would be uninformed but there have been zero news stories that I missed over the past three months that have affected my life. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have a dog at home. I think that she has been very happy to have the whole family home every day and all the attention she has been getting. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Connection with friends and family. I made more of an effort and noticed other people making more of an effort to connect with friends and family. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Maintain your physical and mental health at all times. This pandemic and lockdown affected the people who were not healthy most of all. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I hope that people start to take their physical and mental health more seriously. That is something that only you can control and with all the things that have been completely out of our control during this pandemic, we need to choose ourselves and control our own thoughts and actions.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 On a Saturday talking to customers at my store, everyone mentioned it. By the next Saturday we were closed and have remained closed ever since. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I work from home and all the kids are home. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Not great since my mom got sick. I use online meditations and inspirational talks to get my mind off everything. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I am amazed at the thousands of meals the school cafeteria has made and given out. The school did a great job all spring long. My daughter's teacher sent her a beautiful gift today, something that she has always wanted (a neon light shaped like a unicorn). Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 Yes I am. We now work from home in a very small space. We sell online still and at farmers markets as they are considered essential. Consumers can pick up at our home too , zero contact from our porch. We do not feel safe or comfortable reopening yet. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am also a home health aide. I clean alot more at home I have gotten rid of many curtains for example to keep the house more sterile. I am always disinfecting at work. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes. We have limited space to work in. I have to be available for both my business and my family's needs 24/7. My mom is now very ill which has been the hardest thing. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes. Our son is doing great but misses his friends. He volunteers at the food pantry he loves to do that. My daughter gets bored often. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Alot! To keep in touch with family friends and customers. To keep our business afloat. For most of our entertainment. My daughter's summer theatre program has moved into an online format for the season. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Funeral. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have a cat and a dog I would love more animals but vet bills are expensive! They are both the greatest animals ever love them both to pieces. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 We made and gave away alot of sanitizer to the food pantry. I covered extra hours at work for people who were sick or quarantined. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I am not sure. I almost think that some people may have gone online and announced that they were sick for attention pity or out of boredom. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 My dad died. I cooked alot of the foods that he used to cook for us when we were little. Had some visits with my brother where we shared memories. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Not a thing. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Appreciate your family while you have them they won't be here forever. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I have never thought that huge crowds were a great idea especially the crowding in schools. I think kids will have half days in the future to eliminate the huge crowds of hundreds of kids all in the same building at the same time. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Late January 2020. I initially hoped it was being overblown in the press because I didn't want my April 2020 trip to Paris to be canceled. By the time the threat became real, I just wanted to be safe. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Much more stressful and full of anxiety. Juggling work and child rearing is nearly impossible. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Anxious, grateful for the respite of the summer, resigned to a recurrence in the fall. Exercise, writing, wine! What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Polarization of face mask wearers vs non face mask wearers. I'm surprised at the number of people who don't wear them. The scientific evidence is there for all to see. Also-it's incredibly selfish not to wear one. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Part from home, part in the office. I normally work from home for half of the year. so not many adjustments. Except when my child is here. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes. Poorly, although much better since school ended. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I go to news sites for info. Try to stay away from social media-related stuff re: virus. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Yes-trip to Paris. Nothing. Stayed home and fought with my daughter about home schooling. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 n/a What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Reconnection with friends who live at a distance via phone/facetime/etc Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes. One asymptomatic, one symptomatic. The latter whined like an infant, though. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That school would end on 3/13/20. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 It has affected so many people differently. There is nothing equal about its effect. The rich can go to 2nd or 3rd home and have save space. The rest of us had a hammer laid down on us overnight. Don't elect an ignorant president and don't pretend health care for everyone isn't important. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Who the hell knows? Too soon to tell.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 77 Location The location of the interview Saratoga Springs, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March 2020. All lives matter. All impacted by COVID-19 matter wherever they are anywhere in our world. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Volunteer activities mostly cancelled, no eating in restaurants, no in-person meetings of many, Saratoga Springs much quieter, little traffic, peaceful with the birds singing gaily every day, meeting more residents as I walk 2 hours for 3 days with one day off cycles, seeing whole families biking, walking, being and doing things together, people happy to see each other, make new friends. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Barbara G. is first an introvert, so no stress to relieve. Basically, I am a Transcendental Meditator twice daily, so even mild stress goes anyway. If stress comes from problems encountered, I have always been a problem-solver rather than a problem perseverator. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Volunteer activities mostly cancelled, no eating in restaurants, no in-person meetings of many, Saratoga Springs much quieter, little traffic, peaceful with the birds singing gaily every day, meeting more residents as I walk 2 hours for 3 days with one day off cycles, seeing whole families biking, walking, being and doing things together, people happy to see each other, make new friends. Surprised to see bars & restaurants & gyms, hair salons CLOSED & liquor stores, abortion clinics, & "smoke" shops open. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 Closed before pandemic. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Writer/Artist/Coach/Teacher. Same as all prudent service providers: making sure I am healthy that the people I meet with are healthy, wearing mask & gloves, meeting outside as much as possible. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Love the peace and quiet of the home atmosphere, whatever I want to eat and/or drink readily available. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Yes. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Entertained myself. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 n/a What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Working at being as kind and considerate of all people including especially family, friends, those I do business with, working at being understanding of those working at home, paying kindnesses forward. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 Visited them before and after they died, brought comfort to their loved ones. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That it was actually possible for the world as I know it to close down. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Let us hope that future generations first have a more ethical, responsible mainstream media serving them rather than the disgraceful, unprofessional mainstream media we seem to be stuck with, that they learn what we did right and work not to repeat what could have been done better, most of all that they stay positive, solution-oriented instead of negative, problem-preoccupied. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 The relationship-building that has taken place cannot be taken away from us. Our Motto "We are Stronger Together" in Saratoga Springs, NY deserves to go forward in our attitudes. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Nothing asked about how our religious faith helped get us through these challenging times, nothing even alluding that most of us prayed our way through the pandemic, watched Mass on television or over the Internet because we could not attend in person.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 66 Location The location of the interview Shushan, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 When my employer sent a coronavirus plan to “all users” in early March. I know of no one in my hamlet who has caught the virus but when NYS numbers of victims soared I felt much more serious about the outcome. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Vastly different. Before the pandemic I worked as a public reference librarian with people in and out of the doors constantly, daily. After the library closed we were sent home to work in silence, with a computer as a co-worker. I have had to adjust to a vastly different, ever-changing task list. No commuting. Little actual face-to-face contact. Even though virtual reference phones were set up and manned remotely there were none of the usual readers advisory questions, no in-person groups, no helping folks fill out job applications online, no lending a sympathetic ear to people with issues. My life has become much more impersonal. Regarding my life outside of work there are no longer groups to which I belonged, the church in our hamlet shut its doors on March 15, grocery shopping has become an ordeal with rules, empty shelves, fear of contagion. My iPad and smartphone and work Chromebook have become more useful than ever. My friends and I wonder how we could manage with no Internet connection. We think we might lose our wits if we were unable to text, message, email, Zoom with our friends and relatives. There has been a certain amount of disregard for personal hygiene and clothing style, lack of exercise, overindulgence in sweets and neglect of basic health care. On the other hand my gardens have never been so well tended and my pets so pampered. There has been more attention to cooking and baking and house cleaning. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I’m feeling isolated yet have become more relaxed, being the introvert type. There is less stress at home but then again more, in some ways. I do yoga and have indulged in too many sweets. And due to being home I have been able to plant a vegetable and flower garden. Gardening is very “Zen”. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 The large number of people shopping in our small community store is a surprise. In reaction the store has become much better stocked due to demand. I have also been surprised by the number of out-of-state license plates on cars parked by the store, and how many shoppers do not wear masks. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes, I have been working from home. The first two weeks of this, from March 15 on, were very stressful. The library administration was trying to manage us, to make plans for reopening, communicate with the public and learning to create and deliver “virtual content” for our patrons. None of us had a clear view of the whats , hows and whens of working at home. I felt rather frantic and confused. After a few weeks a work schedule formed in my brain. I was able to resume some semblance of my usual duties. My paychecks continued to be deposited and in response I worked hard and perhaps overworked at home. There sat the Chromebook. I could not hop in my car and go home after a long day at the library. Instead the device beckoned morning, noon and night. On weekends I had to wrap it up and put it out of sight. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Constantly using the Internet, the library’s digital platforms, online meeting platforms in order to answer reference questions, conduct adult programming online, listening to Governor Cuomo’s updates, communicate with co-workers, friends and family, reading the New York Times and local news, doing crossword and other word puzzles and as a treat watching PBS or Acorn videos at night. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 No, but I planned my retirement date. I realized, by working from home for three months, retirement was doable, that I would not fade out by not working at the library. Furthermore, it is obvious that my traditional and beloved job would not resume any time soon, and when the library reopened for patrons I would be at risk of contracting Covid-19. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Yes, three cats. At first they were very excited to have company all day. They took part in Meet and Zoom meetings and had to be shut out of the work area. They were most amusing and comforting. They and I have gained weight. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I was determined to continue my popular adult library programs, online now. In April I contacted patrons to work on resuming book discussions and other programs. Patrons were so happy to see other and to talk. I contributed money to the food pantry. Another good outcome has been the Black Lives Matter demonstrations. In a way the pandemic has contributed to a greater awareness of the African American population and its needs. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I knew how poorly prepared the U.S. government was for a pandemic crisis. I would have pressured my representatives to provide better funds and leadership for public health agencies. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I’d like people in the future to understand that pandemics and epidemics are not political. They are a natural occurrence that needs all hands on deck working together for the best outcome. I’d like history texts to explain how the pandemic has been mishandled by the current federal administration and how proponents of the current administration contributed to the spread of the virus and unnecessary deaths; that the U.S. has by far the greatest number of covid-19 cases and deaths of any nation on earth when it supposedly is a modern leader in so many ways. Let our experience be a lesson learned. Public health workers and organizations need much more support now and in the future. There needs to be more funding and enthusiasm for scientific research. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 If after two or so years this pandemic wears itself out, I believe the public will resume its usual social behavior as evidenced by this happening after just three months into the pandemic. While the number of cases is higher than ever and climbing daily Americans and probably other nationalities are eager to socialize in a way to which they are accustomed: frequenting bars and restaurants and gathering in large groups at parties and beaches. It is possible though that public education will be forever changed due to alterations made during this pandemic because there has been talk of distance learning for economy and other reasons for years and years. Now distance learning and other changes have been forced upon us and might very well stick. There will need to be efforts and funding put forth to rid disparities in order for all children to be included in this new mode of education. As it is now countless young people are without Internet connections and eDevices, two essentials for this new form of education. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 It is imperative that the health and social supports systems in the U.S. undergo overhauls. Low income people have suffered the most, as always. I'm hoping that this crisis has heightened awareness of the vulnerability of life on earth and that going forward we may all become more serious in doing all we can to preserve it.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 When schools were closed and we went to online learning and when supermarket shelves were empty for certain items. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Social distancing from friends, wearing mask, sanitizing everything all the time, not going far from home, How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am worried about getting Covid because of my age and you don’t know if it will be deadly or not. To relieve anxiety I started painting and doing more mixed art media projects. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People are keeping their distance. Businesses are following guidelines put forth. I am surprised that almost everyone is wearing a mask. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I am newly retired and caring for my granddaughter. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes, 1 6yr old. It’s been challenging with online learning (she doesn’t like it) and she has been sad about not seeing her friends. We have been social distancing a lot. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Technology has been amazing during this time. Can get up to date info on internet. If missed Gov Cuomo update I could just catch it on utube. Set up Messenger Kids for granddaughter so she could call and see friends on her iPad. It has helped her feel less isolated. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Had to cancel granddaughter’s birthday party. She was sad about it but we had a party at home complete with decorations, piñata and lots of presents! Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We had a cat but she became very sick and we had to have her put to sleep. However, if school does not start in September, we will be getting a hamster to bring some joy into the household. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 People are coming together as a community. Supporting each other. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes. It was scary because we had contact with this person. Luckily masks were worn, but it was a very stressful few days before test results came back negative. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 What items I should have stocked up on before the hoarders hit the supermarket shelves. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 It was a scary time with lots of uncertainties. Take nothing for granted. Be kind to others in need. Pay attention! How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 We will be more aware of what we are hearing in the news, more keen on sanitizing things, probably stock up on essential items in case they disappear again, love our friends and family everyday and not take things for granted. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I don't see friends so much. I don't go to the Y or the Library. I get a lot of things delivered to my house. I am more careful. I don't go to SPAC. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am okay. I miss seeing my family and friends. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Families used to go places together. Now they go one by one and get in and out of places.

It took awhile to see the notice in the paper. I told my What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How restrictive it would be. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I would like them to know how hard it was to isolate. I would recommend that they listen when scientists tell them what to do. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Well, it didn't really effect me much until the quarantine (I don't usually keep up to date on current news - no phone), but I have heard about it since then, though so far I know the death rate is low, compared to things like the flu. I still think we're overreacting a bit, I don't think I know anyone personally who has caught it, though I do understand the risk for the young, elderly, or already sick with something else. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 All the summer camps were closed, and the ones that weren't are either online or with masks. And of course the end of school was completely virtual. Funnily enough, I've been going outside a lot more and my family's been able to do some work outside. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I'm still feeling normal and I hope we can go back to school for real in September. I've been reading a lot (wait I do that anyway) and doing more crafts with my sister. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 ??? I haven't been out of the house too much. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home?

What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 I am the child If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 Yes, the end of school was cancelled. I was able to complete my studies but I strongly disliked the virtual learning, as I like having more order to school and being able to see people in person. I certainly hope I'll be back on campus in fall. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Virtual library since real ones are closed, though I still wish I could go to real ones. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Yes we have a dog and a fish and a crayfish. We had them before COVID though. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I think more people got outside to play or go for walks (Ironically) Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I don't know. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Though I do understand that people can be at risk of death from this virus. I haven't had any first hand contact with it so I guess that means quarantine is working, but I still believe we might be overreacting. And honestly, if people who could survive it got it it would build uop immune systems for the future. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Who knows, I hope we can start not wearing masks in public though. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Beginning of March Became scared that I might get sick & die. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am alone most of the time. I am retired with one son who works in the local hospitals and nursing homes installing IT networks. I have only seen him from a distance three times since March. I order everything online because I’m scared to go to the stores. I do my banking and get my medicine by the drive-thru. I have been home alone for weeks at a time.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 My best friend's mom, who was pregnant at the time, started showing all the symptoms for coronavirus. We were worried because I had seen the friend the day before, so we decided to quarantine before it was mandatory. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I have gotten to do more things at home including start a small business making things for people. I play my guitar more and I have more time to babysit as well. I redid my room and I have gotten peace from the fact that just because I can't see my friends for three months, doesn't mean that it's the end of the world. Also, my relationship with my sister is a lot stronger as well. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Drinking tea, crocheting quietly, listening to all my favorite songs on replay (especially the soothing, quiet songs) and reading. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Our homeschool community has changed the most. There is more intimacy between families and we all realize how much we need each other just as a community in general. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 Nope, in fact, COVID helped start my business! I sell homemade sweaters, shawls, T-shirts, tanks, dresses, skirts, etc. I had more time to do these things DUE to COVID, so it was really a bonus. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I had a bunch of really well-paying babysitting jobs right before quarantine that I was relying on. Oh well. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Oof, never ask that question. The only reason my siblings don't fight every day is because we have videogames and a TV. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 I'm homeschooled, so school got easier because I had more time to do it. I finished one month early. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I use Gmail to talk to my friends and I watch video tutorials on how to crochet. I also follow a blogger, but that's about it. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My Godmother's wedding was supposed to be in the winter, but now we don't know if that's still happening. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Our friends let us borrow their dog a lot. We've had him for two weeks this time around. It's awesome because he's fully trained. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Happiness. We have learned to find happiness in where we are right now and in our friendships instead of elsewhere, or in some material things. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yeah, actually. One of our friends, their grandparents got it really bad in March, and it's July and they're recovering. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How to keep little kids entertained. Like, seriously, my siblings fight like it's war. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Don't be stupid next time. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Masks, that'll be the new normal, I'd bet my life on it. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 34 Date 7/20/2020 Location The location of the interview Clifton Park, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March 13th, last day of school for my (3) children. My husband insisted that we not send the kids back to school on Monday; I wanted to wait for guidance from our state (NY). My last day of work (bar manager) was March 14th and I left early, stopping at Market 32 for some essentials (milk, fruit, cereal, flour, eggs, meat). The store was packed, nobody had masks yet. There was a eerie feeling of impending doom and worry. Since NY was hit first, and Saratoga county had cases almost immediately, my family was immediately concerned and completly quarantined for the next several months. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My kids (3,6,10) no longer participate in community sports (gymnastics, swim, soccer). We no longer have playdates with other children. We grew our veggie garden larger than we ever had before. We eat breakfast as a family every day now. I miss my friends deeply, but we text daily. My anxiety has spiked, and my husband is quite depressed. Since we both lost our jobs during the shutdown, money is tight, but we can still afford utilities and food. We no longer shop in stores, opting for food delivery and pick up. We are more likely now to made do with what we already have, rather than shopping for more. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 We are stressed. My kids miss their friends, but they are bonding with each other more than before. I have done many home projects (painting, building, gardening, baking). What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I see more people walking their dogs in the neighborhood (CKS). I see kids on bikes daily. I talk with my neighbors more often. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 My husband owns his own retail business. He was shut down for 4 months (in the mall). Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I am a manager at a local bar. When restaurants were shut down, I went on unemployment for the first time in my life. I was lucky to get it almost immediately, but it is still less money than what I was making before the pandemic. We have had to dip into our savings to pay for food and our mortgage. Since my employer doesn't offer health insurance, and my husband is self-employed, we pay for NYS health insurance. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 We have 3 children at home (3,6,10). Life with them is hard. They are bored: the pool, library, playgrounds, sports, YMCA, are all closed. We can't see their best friends (their parents can't quarantine because they are essential workers). Life is stressful, but we try to hike, play in the back yard, play board games and cards. We have classic movie nights. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have 2 kittens, they are a bright spot in a dark time. They were surprised when we started staying home all day, I think we interrupted their daily nap schedule! They help keep our garden free of pests, and they play with the kids often. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 My husband's aunt died of COVID in early May. She was already on her way out, but contracted it during her final stay at a nursing home in Warren County. She was on a ventilator and struggled to breathe her last few days. We couldn't visit her, but called her on the phone and said goodbye. Her nurses stayed by her side, but she essentially died alone. Her funeral consisted of 10 family members, who couldn't hug or comfort each other. It was a hard time. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Become self sufficient BEFORE events like this occur. Know how to repair your own car, grow your own food, fix your home appliances. Have a healthy savings account, don't live outside of your means. Spend time with loved ones while you can! Keep a full library at home, and stock up on essentials. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Mask, social distancing, seasonal shutdowns. Shortages of cleaning supplies, less imported junk from China. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 69 Date 05/28/2020 Location The location of the interview Annandale When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Early to mid March as I recall. I know we had two couples over to our house for dinner on March 15. We thought about cancelling, but everyone said they were Ok, so went ahead with the little party. A week later, we wouldn't have had company. I started to be more careful when I went to the grocery store, and I started to buy a few more non-perishables to have on hand. At that point, though, I had no idea of the severity and length and impact of the situation. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am in the house a lot more. I learned how to use Zoom and have attended many classes and talks. I checked out bookstores and museums and libraries for interesting sessions. My church Sunday School continued on Zoom. My husband picks up ordered groceries at the supermarket so we don't have to go in. He has become an ace at making online shopping lists. He found if he only ordered one kind of a thing and the store didn't have it and didn't substitute, we would end up with nothing. So he started ordering three of a thing (like three different packages of Klondike Bars, hoping to get one). Then when we find out the store had all three items, we are swimming in ice cream. Oh, darn! (not). My friends are now calling the double and triple ordering "doing a Vince (my husband's name)." I have visited several friends on their front lawns or front porches. I have walked a lot more. We temporarily cancelled our house-cleaning service, and now we are doing all of it ourselves. I used to go out at least once a week for lunch with a girlfriend, and my husband and I would go out with another couple for dinner once a month. Not now. Also, we had tickets to a play and several musical shows for the summer that have all been cancelled and refunded. I am watching a little more TV and catching up on some movies I have on my to-watch list. Friends are sharing things they've seen and enjoyed on TV. I have my mask and disinfectant wipes in my car at the ready. My local art theater (which of course is closed) is still selling popcorn with curbside ordering. I've eaten several big tubs of yummy theater popcorn. I am a to-do list maker by nature, but I now enjoy making my daily list (of mostly mundane things like laundry or an email to respond to). My day feels more structured when I have actual things to do. Like a lot of people have said, I am having a hard time remembering what day or date it is. I have a little calendar right by my bed so I can quickly consult and get the day and date in my head if need be. I almost like when the weather is cold or rainy, because that more justifies me sitting in the house reading. When it's sunny, it reminds me I used to be out with friends. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I'm retired and on a fixed but relatively high income and have $$ saved, so I haven't had to worry about a job or paying bills. I am not so much stressed as worried for my kids' futures (both are in committed relationships, but it's not a normal time). I'm hardly ever bored in the house, but I am wondering when I can travel again. I have tried to use the time to get little projects done around the house, with only some success. I love to read, and I've done a lot of it, but I don't want to sit in my chair all day reading. I also have been talking on the phone more to my family and friends. I have a trip to the west coast planned for the end of July, and I don't know if planes will be safe and National Parks will be open. My mom turns 95 in August (in Arizona), and I would desperately love to be there for her birthday. But I don't want to risk my health or (especially) hers. I am not really stressed about my possible travel--the right decision will become clear in time. Both my adult children are elementary school ESL teachers, so they have had to fight the technology and call parents and students to start distance learning. They also had to explain in Spanish what parents needed to do to get their kids connected. But they still have jobs and a paycheck. Luckily, both of my girls (almost 33 and almost 31) are savers and have a cash reserves. My husband is a natural worrier and instilled in them the need to have cash on hand, probably not envisioning a pandemic, but for any kind of emergency or crisis. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I live in the DC metro area, so we have an educated population but lots of immigrants and underserved communities. I haven't gone out much (or attended mass pool parties!) so I don't know how much people are following the rules. People in my neighborhood have been very good about keeping their distance when we pass on walks. Just in general, more things are online, like church and school and meetings and happy hours. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 All the time. Facebook, Zoom, Google meets, gmail, whatever I can figure out or need to use. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Not a major event, but I did have a trip planned to California in May to reunited with two high school buddies. Then I was going to drive to see my Mom. That all was scrubbed. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 n/a What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I think Zoom and similar platforms are saviors. You really feel like you connected with the people. More strangers wave and say hello when I'm out walking. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Maybe how long it might last. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 That it's not a science fiction movie--it can really happen. We all have to bear witness. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think for a long time we will look at big crowds differently. I don't know about the handshake, but it might disappear. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Thanks for doing this project. I forgot to mention I am watching a lot more news. Thanks for all the reporters and crews who bring us the news. One thing I am worried about is all the crazy-stupid-selfish people who fight the rules. They say, oh if I get it, it get it. Let's just have fun. Yeah, just have fun while your grandmother (or your mother) dies. I am afraid for the future of the country and the lack of someone with a decent IQ at the helm. If we have all these deniers and freedom-loving, gun-toting people, I don't know how our country can survive long term. Seems like we need to be two countries: the smart people and the stupid people. Gosh, how judgmental is that? I had a crazy idea some of my friends thought was interesting: Put a little semi-permanent tattoo on the arm of every violator or protester or naysayer. Then when they come to the emergency room sick and you see the tattoo, you can tell them to go home and "be free to solve the sickness on your own without all that government interference--like hospitals." It will be the same people who said the government can't tell them what to do who will whine and sue when the government doesn't do enough to save them and their families. How's that for finale?

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 68 Date 05/27/2020 Location The location of the interview Cambridge Village, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 When I went to job training for a government job in March. I was put in a small room with about 30 other people. I moved far away from everyone. Of course, none of us had masks. We sort of laughed about all the old people in the room. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I was a substitute teacher, and I haven't worked. I don't know if I will go back to the job when schools reopen. And I loved it. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I read a lot and I don't get anywhere near the exercise I should be getting. I have made rituals. Up at 7. Eat at 12 and 6. I have actually lost about 12 pounds since staying home. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 For the most part, the community has been great. Most people are wearing masks--it seems that older white men are the worst. Businesses have been trying to stay afloat and people are trying to support them. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Right now I am working for the Census and I will start working for the Post Office next week. These are both essential and both are done mostly outside. I feel safe, but if I don't I will quit. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I am retired and I have been paid by the Census right along, so I have not applied for unemployment. I am also on Medicare, so I haven't lost my insurance. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 We have a 17 year old high school senior. She seems to be doing ok. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 My wife's family meets on Zoom at least every two weeks and we have a daily email group. We also have played trivia on Zoom with friends. We spend a lot of time on social media and the internet. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Out daughter's graduation. She will have one at the local drive in movie theatre, but it isn't the same. No parties and no senior prom. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have two cats. The older one has become very clingy. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 My community is trying hard to support local businesses. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Two people I graduated with have died, and our son's girlfriend's parents got it. Her father was very sick. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 No one close has died. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I don't know. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I hope next time there is leadership from the top, so idiots don't not wear masks because "The President doesn't." How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I have always considered myself a good hand-shaker. Good firm grip, but not trying to prove anything. That is over. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 53 Date 05/27/2020 Location The location of the interview Saratoga Springs, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 My first noticeable change came about the second week of February, when the news began talking about the outbreak in China. Due to the severity, we have many personal family members in the "at risk" category, including myself. We started paying more close attention to who we came in contact with, washing hands even more than usual, and at work, we were more cognizant with washing counters and touched items. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 First and foremost, our place of work was closed down and we are still not back in the building. My youngest in high school was now home, trying to complete her senior year online. My husband was laid off and we were figuring out how to use different items no longer available in the grocery store. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 The anxiety and fear of the unknown has definitely caused some sleepless nights, but we are learning how to limit the "news" for a more necessity based information gathering. We have been meditating and exercising in our home gym. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I am working from home, continuing to participate in programming through Zoom online platform, and taking online classes during the down time. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes, my high school senior. The sadness is real, but we are keeping a positive atmosphere, and when we need to cry, we do. I am watching for any hidden signs of deep depression with her, but she seems to be handling the situation much better than most of the parents. She is an essential worker at our local Target, so the stress of safety has been a lot. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I use the online resources to continue programming and planning for our public library (my job) Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We are holding out hope that a small even streamed graduation will occur for my high school senior. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 We lost 3 people in our family due to COVID-19. One older gentleman, and two young people under 50. The immediate family celebrated with a virtual wake, and we will gather for the others when it is safe. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I knew to purchase a few cans of Lysol spray and a case of wipes. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I believe the first thing is to begin hygienic practices before they are needed. It may prevent such drastic contact spread of the disease. Second, I have stocked more necessity items that have a safer shelf life for food and cleaning. Also learning how to prepare foods at home rather than depending on grocery items. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 There will be many new online learning opportunities, more work from home and a different education process. Maybe less waste and overhead for organizations able to have more people working from home, even part time. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 During the pandemic, "mother nature" had her own issues as well. We were hit by a tornado that ripped through our yard, but very luckily, did no severe damage.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 50 Date 05/27/2020 Location The location of the interview Galway, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 In mid-February I began larger shopping trips, but didn’t take it all too seriously. On March 6 I attended a small education conference (15-ish people). We were not taking any distance precautions, but it did occur to me that the speaker was taking chances exposing himself to the virus as he traveled to different states presenting. I don’t know when the first case hit my area, but one week later on March 13, I went to a funeral in CT, but after that I began staying at home, only going to the store every 2 weeks. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 For the most part it didn’t change much. I homeschool my child anyway, so we are home often. The classes he takes once a week outside of the home moved to online video calls, but because many homeschool classes are online video anyway, that wasn’t a big adjustment. My son’s job ended, but that left more time for school work, so that worked out well too. My son’s friends quickly planned Zoom get togethers. My husband and I miss going out to eat quite a bit, but Village Pizzeria has a fantastic family meal deal that we pick up at least once a week. My husband is concerned about his businesses surviving this, so I shop more carefully than previously. . How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Because we live on multiple acres with a variety of activities and are homebodies anyway, for the most part we are in good spirits. We are exercising everyday; my husband makes it a point to workout for 2 hours everyday. We’ve had friends over, mostly staying outside, but we did have friends from out of state come for the weekend in May. It’s time to begin getting back to living. When the stress of the possibility of losing all of our income gets too great, we give thanks to God for what we’ve been blessed with and brainstorm what we could do in the future to make our businesses viable. And of course we’ve been praying a lot! What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 One of the surprising things is that some of our friends who are extremely positive people in regular life, have shown the greatest fear in this situation Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 Two of our businesses had to close. It was difficult for our employees to first deal with unemployment, then come off unemployment to be paid through payroll protection, then have to go back on unemployment because the governor has kept the state shut down longer than the government money was allowed to be used. The other business was allowed to remain open, but most employees have worked from home. The jury is still out on whether or not that business will survive. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 I have a 15-year-old son. It is going well. We homeschooled before this happened so we were not inconvenienced as much as most people. He and his friends quickly set up a zoom get together’s and In May they started going to eachother’s houses. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have a dog and chickens. We increased our chicken flock so that we were less reliant on the stores for our food We increased our chicken flock so that we were less reliant on the stores for our food What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 We contributed to the homeless shelters who are doing a good job of helping those who need it. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes, we have a few friends who contracted the virus. All were mild cases. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Make your life as non-dependent on government and others as possible. We came through this better than most because we grow as much of our food as possible, we educate our child, and we don’t spend money needlessly.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 3/14/2020. I became a little bit frightened. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 As a senior with some health issues, I only go out once every two weeks. I borrow books from Overdrive and online sources for old books. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Nervous as we start to reopen. I read a lot and take walks. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People are home yet my neighborhood is pretty quiet. The people who are refusing to wear masks and think the media is making too much of the virus. I was shocked when stores sold out of toilet paper! I mean, how much did people think they were going to need?! Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home?

What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes. They are bored and want to see their friends, but aren't complaining. They do their school work and FaceTime friends. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 FaceTime my family and play Wii games with my family in California thru Zoom. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My grandchildren's 5th and 8th grade moving up days. They both had their special school trips cancelled. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have 3 cats. They love having the kids around all the time. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think there will be less human touching with people we are not close to and more between people we are close to. I hope we'll appreciate being able to see people whenever we want and go places.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 68 Date 05/27/2020 Location The location of the interview Queensbury, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Earlier than most as I had a 4 month old Grandson Ryan and I self quarantined for approximately 10 weeks until I felt safe enough to be with briefly out of fear of carrying the virus even though I was and still remain irus free. I've been tested and I am negative. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am remaining vigilant about outside contacts and I don't go into group settings. My oldest brother died May 12th and I got to see a video of his funeral. This is heartbreaking for me but I also felt blessed as many families didn't even have that as a remembrance. As we were limited to 15 people only immediate relatives were at the cemetery and distancing was enforced. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I'm turning my backyard patio into my Oasis with many new perennials, a new fire pit and lighting to enjoy till Fall. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 The reluctance for people to be concerned about others and their safety from this virus. I see Neighbors completely ignoring the rules and it is troubling but I also know that everyone has to deal with this in your own way. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 No I am not a business owner although I come from a long line of small businesses in my family and previously owned by myself I can't imagine going through this terrible time of loss. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I watch so many outlets try to decipher the changes everyday and to keep myself informed so as to better protect myself and my family from this virus. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My granddaughter graduates from Delaware University on May 30th and there is no graduation and this is a very sad time for my family. We are all so proud of Sarah and her great accomplishments, I know this is disappointing send her with no ceremony and no big family party at this time but hopefully we can make that up to her in the future. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I do, my little Bedlington Terrier who is normally groomed every four weeks it's looking like the Shaggy Dog only in a tiny version. She continues to be my best companion. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I've tried to continue to be the voice of reason with so many different friends and family when panic continues to arise over the pandemic. I see family spending more time with their children and I'm sad to see that it took a pandemic to make that happen. I hope that this closeness will continue in the New World as we continue to evolve. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes my brother who was in a nursing home passed away. I never envisioned my brother passing away and being so alone. He was allowed to see his daughter only and she was able to say her goodbyes and what's with her dad when he passed. Very painful for her and our entire family. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 We celebrated by posting pictures of my brother with memories of days gone by to celebrate his incredible life. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That is a very tough question I guess I would want to know the full impact that we were all facing. I'm not sure that I would have done anything differently than I have. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 My Wish for them is this a real realize how important and precious life truly is. I pray that our young people will learn the lessons that are needed and to take all precautions and steps for their future generation to avoid this happening with such an impact in so many lives. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I believe the new normal will look like many jobs created for a safer environment for all of us to live in. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Appreciate life and we wise in your decisions to help create a better new world.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Late February, as news about the carnage in Italy began to make headlines. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 In too many ways to count. My job as an essential worker is more stressful and involves more hours. There is little to no socialization at work or after work. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 There is a feeling of helplessness, that while things have stabilized that a return is coming for the fall/winter. Relieving stress involves hiking or biking. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Some changes have been good, some bad. People are on edge. But there has also been a spirit of cooperation and benevolence among the good people in society. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I work for county government, working with the Health Department, Office of Emergency Services and others. Lots of hand sanitizer, mask requirements, many are working from home. At home, we wash hands frequently and have limited our children's socialization. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes, older teens. They seem to be doing as well as can be expected. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 More than I had been, for better and worse. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Vacations, birthdays, college visits. We didn't do really much of anything in their place. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Yes, two dogs. They have helped, as they get lots of walks now. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Helped make masks, delivered masks, donated to local food/toiletry collections, helped at food drop. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes, several people. Most had just mild cases, but one was hospitalized with severe illness but eventually recovered. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How long it would last, and how much economic impact there would be. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Save some money, have a nest egg to fall back on if you lose your job. Too many people were unprepared. That includes having some supplies, such as non-perishable food, on hand. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Big crowds will not occur for a while. Sporting events and schools will be impacted for years to come. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 The mental health impact of this will be tremendous for many years. Alcoholism will also surge, I fear.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 56 Date 05/26/2020 Location The location of the interview Glenville, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 The impact first began in February when my youngest son, a freshman at Iona college in New Rochelle, texted that several cases of corona virus had been reported in New Rochelle. That in and of itself was not alarming. At that time , it was thought only to effect the elderly and frail. On March 10th, when the national guard moved into to New Rochelle to help contain the virus, fear set in. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Before the pandemic I was a newly retired teacher and an empty nester enjoying the freedom of not being bound to taking care of anyone and my husband and I were enjoying traveling, dining out and frequenting theater. On 3/13/20, my three adult children ( who live and work in NYC) came for a weekend visit and are still staying at our home. Our 18 year old finished his freshman year at Iona via distance learning. Our oldest son (28) has been working from our home as a video editor . Our 25 year old daughter has been furloughed from her job with Clinique. My husband a Business banker for Key bank has been working form home. Most of his job has entailed securing PPP loans for his small business customers How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 My emotions range from anxiety, fear and disbelief to extreme gratitude that I still have an income, health and my family safe. I still worry about the future of my children . What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Overall people have been very kind and supportive of each other. I am surprised at the small number of people who do not seem to take social distancing practices seriously. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Try to read a variety of publications to get factual information. NY times PBS news. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Our dog is very confused as to why there are so many people living in his house. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 As a recently retired teacher , it was important to me to support and encourage the amazingly dedicated and talented teachers of the Schenectady City School District. These professionals left school on March 13th, not knowing anything about distance learning and just "figured it out" in the most caring and dedicated way. Distance learning cannot replace being in a classroom, but they way that teachers tried to connect with students everyday was amazing. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Nothing would have prepared me for this. Life literally changed in a few days. It is still very hard to process. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I hope that the people realize that health and connections with others is what truly matters. When our world was frozen with fear with the threat of the virus, what mattered was our loved ones , our communities and supporting each other. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I truly hope that when we get beyond mask wearing and social distancing that we reflect on the disparities in health care, income and educational inequities and the systemic racism that fuels these differences.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 59 Date 5/25/2020 Location The location of the interview Waterford, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Sometime in late January early February I started hearing about it. I was a bit in dennial about the whole thing hitting upstate New York How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I don't get to see any of my friends. I don't see my cousins. Do less shopping which is a good thing! Don't go out at night much. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am feeling pretty much normal. Get a little lonely at night. My husband is an early to bed early to rise person and my son spends his evening with friends on line. I keep extremely busy during the day taking care of my home - outside yard work, helping to take care of my one son's new home outside and inside work as he works two jobs and working at my family's camp and cabin getting them ready for the summer and taking care of the yards up there. I have sanded down and restained and polyurethanes two picnic tables and a park bench. I have been making a cedar closet. I have stained a porch floor. I recovered some dining room chairs. I have painted three bedrooms. I have made three sets of valances. I walk with my neighbor on her lunch break. I check in with my older girlfriend who lives accross the street - by phone - daily. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 A lot less interaction between friends and neighbors. Easy to drive around until last week. The roads were very quiet and parking lots in most stores were empty. The stores that were and are open have been very very busy. What surprises me is how much disinformation has been fed to the people of this country on a daily basis. What surprises me is how we, in a lot of instances, have not pulled together and have treated each other very poorly. I am disappointed how ugly people are to each other even during this world wide crisis. I would have thought we would become better, kinder, more considerate and thoughtful people as a whole rather than "good" stories about people being few and far between. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 No. I work for the public library and we are closed. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I am retired so have health insurance through my former employer. I have not been furloughed or laid off and I have not needed unemployment. I have been very lucky and Blessed and so has my whole immediate family. We are so grateful for that. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I keep up on emails from work and we have weekly meetings and weekly training that we do on line. There have been webinars and seminars and other items available to be involved with even though the library is not open. As far as working the only adjustment has been not being able to physically go to work and work along side my fellow library personnel. I miss them. They are fantastic people. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 I have one adult son living with us. He is working remotely from home. My husband has been going out to work. One bedroom is set up as my son's office. So, truly no hardships there. I have been able to eat lunch with my son most every day. That has been a wonderful benefit for me. Our two cats are thrilled to have people around so much more. They will not be happy when we all go back to work!! If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I use the internet much more - do lots of work things on the computer. I also play my computer on line game way more than I used to. Do more on line purchases just like most everyone else Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 No, but my daughter-in-law will be giving birth in July. That may be a little different. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have two cats. They are loving people being home. Although it is a strange set up to get my pet's medications from the Vet. Order from home, call them when I am in the parking lot, give them my credit card over the phone and then someone brings the medication and invoice to me in my vehicle. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Keeping tabs on some of my older neighbors and lending them a hand. Helping out at my son's house, my family's summer place and being available to help my family members with whatever they need done. I got involved in the rainbows on your homes. My neighbors put a wind sock in my tree for me. That was nice. Spent a lot of time connecting and keeping tabs on my children and siblings. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 We have not been able to have any type of service for my cousin who passed away in March from Cancer. She lived in Texas. We had to cancel our plane tickets and they were not able to have a church service or memorial service to date. That makes her passing seem very surreal. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 The truth - the real truth not all this fake propaganda and political machinations at the expense of the people in this country. To realize how important it is to be prepared - not stock pile, but have some money, food items, and other things set aside for a time of need. To be careful not fearful. Be kind and considerate and help where you can - don't sit back and do nothing, but unless you are a first responder - stay out of their way, but lend them a hand. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think education is in crisis. I believe there will be more homeschooling. I believe there will be a lot more remote working. I think there will be a lot less physical buildings/businesses. I believe a lot of small businesses will go under, bigger ones too. There will be many, many out of work, unemployed people not being able to make ends meet, pay for housing, pay their bills. I think our economy is in big trouble. People's stocks and savings for retirement are not going to be what they were and what people may need to get by with. The new norm is going to have a lot more distancing between many people. I think there will be more fear of strangers. I think the new normal is not going to be so great going forward and I feel really badly for my children's lives going forward. I have no idea when things will truly turn around for them or if they will. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I think I said a whole lot more than I actually planned to or thought I would. I think there is also a whole lot more I could say, but I think I am done. Thank you for the opportunity to share some of my pandemic life. Hopefully it will give others some insight as to how life was during this strange time in our history.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 16 Date 5/21/2020 Location The location of the interview Halfmoon, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 A close friend of mine living in Korea was diagnosed on March 7. I realized then that this really happens to anybody, and I immediately started to become more cautious, even though there weren't many cases here yet. Once we had enough cases here to close school, I really became cautious about who I was around, what I touched, etc. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I haven't met up with any friends in over 2 months, I wear a mask everytime I leave my house, I wear gloves when going to grocery stores, and I limit leaving to go shopping to 1 or 2 times a week. I've been biking much more often and I've used my extra free time to learn the piano and guitar. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I'm feeling alright, though I wish I could have face to face contact with some friends. I miss a lot of people dearly, and we don't have the capacity to do video calls. In terms of stress management, I take frequent breaks to keep my mind on something else. I write, read, and play video games to keep myself occupied. Afterwards I will continue what I had been doing, if there was something. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Many businesses, organizations, and stores have reduced their hours or closed for in store activities. School is no longer in session on campus, which has sincerely affected me. I wasn't exactly surprised to see everything close, seeing as this is a serious matter. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I'm not, but my sister is. She works in an assisted living in Colonie with senior residents. Everyday they take their own temperatures 3x in a shift, they're required to wear gloves and masks, and they must keep their residents apart. No visitors are allowed either. When she's home, she keeps her scrubs in a bag rather than her laundry basket until laundry day to keep those "outside germs" separate. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I still have my job at the Clifton Park - Halfmoon Library. I didn't apply for unemployment due to my age. I also don't have health insurance, but both my mother and sister have me included on their plans. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I participate in video meetings once a week for work, which we are paid for. Otherwise I don't do anything else other than read and reply to company emails. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 I'm the youngest, with my sister being 7 years older. We are doing fine and have no issues with stress or problems. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 Yes, school was discontinued. All classes are required participation online, with the grades changed to either EOL or NYL. It's difficult at times to complete assignments due to internet connections, but I manage to work on my work. I believe that school will return for next year, or some sort of structured schedule for our classes to continue. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I use Twitter to learn about the world and how they're coping with the pandemic. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My best friend, Sangwoo, lives in Michigan and had to cancel his 19th birthday party that he was ready to hold. I was pretty disappointed for him, but we promised to meet up once it's safe to hold the party. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have 2 cats, 2 birds, and a snake. None of our pets have been affected, other than receiving more attention now that we're all home. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I donated some masks for my sister to take to her work. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes, my close friend in Korea. He described it as the common cold honestly, and wasn't badly affected. He felt better with OTC medicine, though this was early on in the pandemic. He's doing much better now and has a clean bill of health. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I don't believe that there's anything more to know, as this is a learning process. Even if we knew more, it wouldn't change the outcome. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I don't think it should be a central problem honestly. It's not as bad as previous outbreaks, and the symptoms are fairly tame compared to past diseases. If something were to happen like this again, I hope people learn from their mistakes and take distancing precautions. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 For a while, we'll be extremely cautious about who we meet and the things we touch. After a year or two, the majority of people most likely will go back to how they were before the pandemic. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Date 5/21/2020 Location The location of the interview Charlton, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 On March 13, 2020, I was supposed to go on a weekend trip with some friends. It was canceled due to concerns that the novel coronavirus was spreading up from the New York City area. Some of the girls did not want to stop at Thruway stops or go south at this time. My reaction was annoyance, quite frankly. I felt the six of us could easily avoid public spaces and enjoy our weekend at the Lake without going to restaurants or shopping as originally planned. Only during the following week did I really understand how this thing was going to impact our lives. My husband and daughters were sent home to work off site, my grandchildren's schools were closed and I found myself isolated between my single mom daughter's house (carrying for her 6-year old while mommy worked from home) and my own home. Then my reaction was no longer annoyed, but almost fearful. I began really paying attention to get educated in order to calm fears and gain some personal control over what I could. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I can't attend church, I can only see my older daughter and her family (including my only other grandchild) once a month from a safe distance, I can't hug or touch anyone, I use hand sanitizer all the time, I never browse shelves when I have to shop- opting to get in and out as fast as possible, I order more online, and I miss being with my friends in person. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am struggling at times with depression, for which I already take medication, but it hasn't overwhelmed me. I get outside as much as I can. Now that my husband has retired, I have help in being my granddaughter's daycare provider and that has helped me tremendously. I try to remain grateful because we have a steady retirement income, a safe, warm home, plenty of food, etc., while so many face uncertainty and worry that they will be able to make ends meet. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 More people are walking outside when the weather is good, We smile at each other more, I think, and in our community there seems to be more tolerance rather than less. I'm pleasantly surprised to observe more patience in people waiting in lines, distancing often accompanied by nods of understanding. But one of my favorite observations is that rainbows keep popping up everywhere to remind us that we are all in this together. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am retired and my husband retired one week ago. We clean and disinfect the surfaces of our shopping goods and anything that has come in contact with those items beforehand. We wash our hands longer and more often than previously, keep hand sanitizer and masks in our cars (and use them), and do not ask anyone to come in for a cuppa anymore. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 Retirement has its benefits. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 My husband and I share the daily care of our granddaughter during the week. At first it was pleasant and fairly easy, but as time went on it got more challenging. An only child, she has had no one but us, three adults, to play with for months. Her fears and frustrations are expected, but not always easily dealt with. It feels almost cruel to keep a child from playing with other children. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I have always borrowed or bought audio books through the library or online, but the biggest change since the pandemic is the use of the Zoom app. It is the only app I've had to learn to use in order to "attend" my church's services, and to chat with friends as a group. Who knew? Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 The celebration of my husband's retirement was a family affair with a Zoom meeting while sharing dessert in two separate homes. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 n/a What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Personally, I sewed over 160 face masks for family, friends, coworkers, church members, and as part of my quilt guild's efforts to meet requests in the thousands. I also contributed to a local homeless shelter and food pantry, among other smaller contributions of time or money. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Can't think anything I did or didn't know would have made a difference. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I think the importance of hand washing and overall good personal hygiene practices should continue to be stressed. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 As much as I cringe to say it, I think hand shaking should be come a thing of the past, as well as hugging outside of our family circles (like in churches or nursing homes). I think we'll be putting on masks when flying for quite some time, too. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Date 5/21/2020 Location The location of the interview Saratoga Springs, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I first realized that the virus would be a big issue during a dentist visit in the first week of March 2020. The hygienist told me how difficult it was beginning to be for them to find masks and gloves to purchase for their office. This gave me pause and got me into preparation mode at home and at work. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I take a lot less for granted now, like being blessed to spend time with family members and enjoy the arts. Most of my friends and family are lucky to still have jobs and their health. Of course the crisis hits home once you know someone who is sick or working in a healthcare center. The big change for me has been to have time to reflect on my career and how much time I devote to it rather than family. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 My anxiety has tripled but I find that when I limit my time watching news or reading social media posts, I feel much better. During those times, I feel much more grounded and able to connect with people more. I have always enjoyed baking, reading and gardening so I have much more time at home to do those things now. The possibility of the world reopening very soon has certainly increased my stress level, mostly because I have my staff members' lives in my hands for the first time really. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 With any tragedy or crisis, I've noticed that they bring out the best and the worst in people. The political nightmare in our country has intensified and people just don't seem to treat one another with basic respect anymore. The issue of people opposing mask-wearing is one that baffles me. It should be just a given that we all want to protect ourselves and our fellow Americans. As much as I know these times bring out the worst in some people, it still surprises me to see the protestors and hear stories about people being verbally or physically abused for wearing a protective mask. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 Our public library closed March 14, 2020 and all of our employees have been working from home to bring services and e-content to our patrons. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Our business is not essential, but I am considered our one essential employee. I have been working alone in our building to make sure our accounts are paid and payroll continues. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes. I has been difficult to separate home and work life while being at home. I find that I have to carve out certain times of day to get my work completed or else I put it off. I now know what I've always suspected; I am a night owl. I get most of my business done during the late hours. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My immediate family all has birthdays from March-July so we decided to pick dates in the fall and winter to reschedule our special days when we can hopefully be together. I know many who have had to miss senior years and graduations and I breaks my heart for them. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 n/a What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I'm always heartened when I hear stories of people giving back to their communities. I've seen so many volunteering to help at food drives for those in need. I read about someone who donated a deli platter to a local hospital unit and in the process helped out the restaurant that they ordered from. This made me decide to do the same and I sent some sweets from my favorite bakery to our front line staff. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think many will have anxiety and depression issues going forward. Once we return to work and the virus begins to spread again, I imagine that many of us will be separated from loved ones or possibly lose those we hold dear. I am very hopeful that we can work together to protect each other and keep the spread contained. Many things will have to change to keep us all safe. Patience will be needed from everyone while we figure this out I think. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I've never been comfortable using video conference platforms, but I've had to adjust to it quickly. I have been using e-books and movie streaming a lot more than normal with the additional time at home. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I think we are doomed to repeat history if we don't learn from it. This moment is a pivotal one for all of us and for the future generations. We need to make sure we are prepared to handle another world crisis like this.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Date 5/21/2020 Location The location of the interview Greenwich, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 In January. My daughter participates in indoor track and there were already people wearing masks. I thought they were a trifle over-the-top. I don't know when the first case hit our town. It wasn't until a friend from town was afflicted that I took it seriously. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I already worked mostly from home, so that wasn't a big shift for me. Going to Hannaford got scary. I spent a lot of time wiping down groceries, and got to spend a lot of quality time with my kids. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 OK. I meditate and try to practice mindfulness, which focuses on being in the moment. I run almost every day and get outside a much as a can. We are lucky to live on 6 acres and so have a lot of space. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 The kindness. Friends leaving things on our doorstep. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes. Working with my family underfoot all of the time. Hoping that one of my jobs doesn't get cut. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes. Difficult sometimes to get my own work done and help them navigate their schedules and workloads. But I love the extra time with them. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 For both jobs - for training and meetings. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have two cats who love that we are home with them more. We are trying to adopt a puppy but most shelters are closed. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 We have bought gift cards for Hannaford employees and contributed to our local food pantry. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I had stocked up more on cleaning supplies and masks. I wish I had known how serious the illness was. It was really downplayed. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 That it brought many people together - neighbor looked out for neighbor. That it made people realize how crazy busy their existences had become. That they appreciate what they have and the people around them. How precious hugs can be when you can't give them. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I am hoping more people will telecommute, which will help the environment. I hope more people will question the political leadership of this country and choose responsible adults the next time around. I hope life will get a little slower - but that probably will not happen. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I have been incredibly impressed by the adaptability of American business in dealing with this crisis.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 About March 15, 2020 How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I'm being very careful about where I go and how I act; for example, I use gloves when filling my car with gas; I use curbside pickup especially to support local restaurants. I don't see other people in groups. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Feeling well. I'm lucky I'm not at all bothered by being alone as I'm very used to it as well as actually enjoying being by myself. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 The lack of auto traffic; available parking on Broadway (more earlier than now), people wearing masks in public; then seeing more people who are not wearing masks on Broadway; the strangeness of a track season without all the track fans. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I've learned to use Zoom and once hosted a meeting. I'm e-mailing more, also telephoning more often. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Cat. She's good company. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Learning to play chimes. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 n/a What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 How bad it was/is; health care needs to be prepared in so many ways as do governments. People need to respect science and pay attention to advice. Any pandemic should not be treated casually but seriously. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Who knows? The Covid-19 virus will eventually be treated like any communicable disease that is still with us -- we will be vaccinated and learn to live with it. This pandemic will some day be just a blip in history, as is the "Spanish" influenza epidemic of 1918-19. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 37 Date 7/24/2020 Location The location of the interview Saratoga Springs, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 The impact first hit around the 20th of March. I work at the hospital and when all elective surgeries were cancelled and people were afraid to go to the ER there was this sense of the calm before the storm. It was eerie. It was like we were waiting for the hammer to come down. Work days were tense and full of anxiety for what might come. It was all the unknown. As the days went on we found that what did come in was okay. We grew in knowledge on what to do, how to triage, how to be the best clinicians for our patients. We gained courage. As we started to go back to regular scheduling I found that I can (and am ready) to jump in for the front lines. I grew in my medical knowledge, we grew as a team. I'm ready when I'm needed and have courage to do all the things necessary to help patients. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Our lives stopped. We are now always together. We are almost still always home. We are learning to be adaptable. We've redone spaces in our home to make them better suited for our needs. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I'm feeling good. I'm exercising more than I ever have and pouring into garden and arts more than I've ever had time for. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Our community really supported the local businesses to help them to succeed. I'm so proud of my community for rallying around each other. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I'm an essential employee. I'm a pharmacist. Our workplace has adapted to screening, promoting distance, limiting visitors, etc. At home we were more strict in the beginning but have relaxed some now. We used to wipe everything from the store - not as much anymore. The good thing is we changed how we shopped and buy things and really use what we already have before buying something new. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 My husband is working from home and finding quiet space where we can all work simultaneously has been difficult. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes we have elementary kids. School was VERY hard. I had to be mom, housewife, teacher, disciplinarian, cook (etc etc). I found it overwhelming. Since summer - its better. Being outside helps a ton. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 We've used Facebook to keep connected. Although I think it became an obsession. What was changing day to day I felt like I had to plug in all the time. I'm trying to do less of that now. All that screen time is not good for me. I'm not an arguer but many online are and it gives me anxiety and anger - so its better to just log off and pour into those in my home in a positive way instead. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Community rallying around each other. We are spending more time together as a family than we ever did. We are caring for our garden and flowers and it makes me happy to see them grow. We shop more frugally and really spend our money intentionally. We are much less frivilous. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 We lost my uncle and have had to postpone his memorial. I'm not sure when that will be. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I knew what the signs were so I could have had more at the house and not panic in the beginning. So much was a mental adjustment and emotional juggling that added to the stress. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 The 2020 pandemic wasn't all bad. We were forced to make life simpler and slow down and that has been really beautiful. Sometimes the thing we think we are missing out but it is just a new opportunity to slow down and listen to the quiet. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 The age of birthday candles is over. We will continue to need to adapt as this goes so I'm not sure "normal" will ever stay as it was again.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 42 Date 8/6/2020 Location The location of the interview Cambridge, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I saw in the news that people were clearing out toilet paper bleach and disinfectant long before they wore the masks. My reaction to covid-19 has changed because now I'm forced to wear the mask everywhere I want to buy goods. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 The way my life is different because of the pandemic is really gatherings and outings. I cannot enjoy the places I used to and I cannot hold the annual parties I that I usually throw. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I wouldn't say I'm stressed as much as I am angry and resentful. I'm angry by the way our governor has handled this and resentful for so many people not asking any questions or demanding answers. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 As a newcomer to this town I'm not sure what it was like before I got here and by April when I moved from Schenectady there was no change at all there just the status quo. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 My husband works for center for the disabled and they have implemented many precautions before the state required them. Due to all the safety precautions they are taking at the house he handles there's no need for us to take extra ones at home. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 My children are teenagers so it wasn't a problem... Though I've always been a Hands-On parent so it's never been difficult to have my children at home. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 My daughter was a senior this year with Schenectady High. I tried to have her transferred to the school here in Cambridge due to the situation of the online schooling they had her stay with Schenectady. Personally I don't believe those teachers should have you been paid. My daughter would have a question on her work on a Monday and what didn't get a response till Wednesday. The guidance counselor got my child confused with her sister who graduated the year before. And their graduation was ridiculous. I as a parent hated online schooling through Schenectady High. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I've gotten more in touch with politics so I can personally read in between the lines that they feed us. I search for the answers to my questions that involved this pandemic mess. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We weren't able to have a proper graduation party for my daughter so we had a small intimate gathering with her father and I, twin sister and her best friend. We were unable to have a 18th birthday party for our twins. I made a delicious dinner and my husband got a cute cake. They deserved much more in both instances. These aren't exactly life events that you can recreate or postpone, another place where my resentment comes from. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have two dogs and a cat, not much has changed for them. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I'd have to say the only thing positive I have found in this whole pandemic is the fact that people are actually washing their hands and cleaning surfaces which is something they should have been doing anyway. I have actually noticed more negativity that has come from this pandemic. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I have to in-laws that contracted covid-19 that lives in New York City. They got sick like the flu and got better, it was done. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Before the pandemic I wish I knew how fragile our social system was. It's been a shame to see everyone just doing what they're told without asking questions. It's also been horrible to see all these 'protesters' allowed to carry on as they choose but people aren't able to gather for their deceased loved one. Quite frankly that's disgusting to me. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I would tell future generations the same thing I raised my children with, wash your hands and don't be a pig. I wouldn't tell them how to prepare for it. I mean it's always good to be prepared when non-perishables and things like that for any situation. However covid-19 is one thing the politics of round covid-19 has been another. I don't like I would encourage them to ask questions and demand answers. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I'm still waiting to see The New Normal. I personally feel that The New Normal we'll have more to do with what the politicians want and less to do with covid-19.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 We had a parent meeting in secondary school about Transition Year trip abroad, would we let them go or not. This was early March and they were due to go on 31st March. We voted not to let them go but were still very sceptical we were doing the right thing and were we blowing covid out of all proportion t How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Not too much had changed for me. I enjoy being at home and not watching the clock to pick up r drop off someone somewhere. I rarely go to pubs. I do miss going out for dinner and planning next trip away .....whenever that will be! How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Walk every day and exercise. I m trying to meditate every day...that's not going to plan What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 It has surprised me how most people stuck to the rules especially the older cocooners. They were brillant. And the appreciation shown to the medical profession Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Nothing much has changed for me. Having tje kids home from school was like summer holidays except they had to do homework. I enjoyed lock down. I enjoyed the peace it brought to my life How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 In the beginning we were all watching the news for updates. It didn't take long before we were avoiding it as it was all bad news about covid Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Yes, a new kitten which we didn't plan on getting. We have 2 other cats and a dog. They are all "frienimies" What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Kindness, compassion, good news stories What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Wash hands, wear masks. Shut down airports and lock down country straight away How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I would hope people will slow down, smell the Rose's, stop running and chasing things they dont really need. Spend more time with family. New normal will be face masks shopping and travelling. And hygiene freaks Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I was listening to a radio program , a doctor was speaking about how all cancer checks had been stopped and how there will be so many lives impacted on the delay. I thought it was so sad then flicked over to another channel for music.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 22 Date 8/4/2020 Location The location of the interview Saratoga Springs, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 When I was sent home from my senior year of college was when the impact of covid truly hit me. On March 6th, my parents were in quarantine, an idea very new to everyone as they had been in contact with someone with covid. Thankfully they were not infected. On March 9th is when Harvard announced the closing of their school, which led to most schools in Boston,including mine, Boston College to send their students home for the remainder of the year later that week. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Now, I am living at home with my three siblings and parents, instead of in a college apartment with 5 other girls. Now, I cannot go out with friends on weekends to celebrate getting through the week, but rather I join a zoom happy hour. Now, I dont dance nearly as much and dont get to bake for others like I used to. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I leave in a week to return to Boston to begin teaching (virtually) at a high school right near BU. I feel sad, having to leave my family after so much time together. I feel anxious that there is so much unknown when it comes to what my job will look like. Im scared because I am entering the real world right when the real world is falling apart. But I am excited to hopefully be able to see more friends. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 My community has not surprised me in their outpouring of love and support for one another. It makes me smile with pride to see businesses helping each other, with supplies and to see restaurants providing meals for those who need them. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 No, I have been working in a real estate office for the past 2 months as a marketing intern. I am so blessed to have been employed during this time. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 I was completing my full practicum at a school in Boston when school was put virtual, although I was able to continue to help with videos and such I was not able to zoom or see any of my students again. I completed my degree with "busy work" but I felt so incomplete in doing so. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 My friends and I zoomed a few times a week in the first few months of quarantine. But the parties, happy hours, etc have tapered off as we have all begun work or grad school. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Graduation was postponed until the fall, but I do not believe it will be occurring although my school has no announced it yet. On the day I was suppose to graduate, I ate cake and drank champagne with my family. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have not. But my best friend and neighbor did. He is a bundle of joy that has truly brought so much excitement to a lot of us. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 the Black Lives Matter march that occurred in saratoga. I was only able to attend one due to work. Seeing so many youth in our community stand up for what is right day after day, refusing to allow our small community to ignore the huge systematic issues of country is truly inspiring. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I had multiple friends from school who contracted COVID, all thankfully recovered with no real issue. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 To not sign a lease for the summer so early because I wouldn't be able to go to Boston and would just have wasted money. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 It brought out the worst and it brought out the best in people. Self care is so important, finding what you need to do everyday to ensure that you feel a sense of normal is important. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think I will be more cautious about big events. I think I will be more active in making plans with friends when I can. I think moving forward, I will move slower and not just allow the days to pass, I will not be so stressed about things because so often things are out of my hand. I have no idea what my new normal will look like but I hope it involves a lot of love. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I pray that we learn from this pandemic. That we as a nation be better, do better because our response to the pandemic was and still is pathetic.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I first started hearing people in school talking about lockdowns in other countries, then people were talking about sports and big events being cancelled, then some of the performances I was supposed to do with dance cancelled. It changed because by that point I realized oh wait, it’s really getting everywhere. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My life is less busy in a sense now. Now I’m used to wearing a mask and hearing about nothing but COVID on the news (with the exception of BLM). I’ve spent more time outside and doing hobbies I like. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Alright, I’m curious how everything will work out with school and everything. To relieve stress I mostly just stay away from the news, listening to music or reading or writing or embroidery. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I noticed the rainbow hunt thing people around me did. That was surprising, I guess. I’ve noticed how many stupid people there are who only wear masks over their mouth and not the nose. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 No, but I am a child technically and I have an annoying brother who’s a child. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 Last year, yes. They said we’d be closed for two months and then it ended being the whole year. Yes, I was able to finish online. I think I’ll be back, because my school has released some of their plans and cases are going down in Saratoga, I think. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I’ve used tiktok, discord , YouTube etc. I’ve been able to talk to people a lot and also learn a lot of things. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have animals, I didn’t adopt one during the pandemic. My dogs have made the days definitely more interesting and given us a reason to go outside a lot. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I started appreciating little things more. I noticed people making the best of situations. I tried to do as much for BLM as I can without physically leaving my house and protesting. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I don’t know but I think one of my friends mentioned she got it? I’m not sure she didn’t talk about it much. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That I should’ve gotten with and hugged my friends more, and that I should’ve said a proper goodbye if I felt like I wouldn’t come back to school that year. Also that I shouldn’t get so excited for the school play and dance, because I would end up VERY disappointed. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 That nobody will suspect anything until it’s them THatS under lockdown. That at first some people will be stupid and won’t believe it. That even through it some people won’t believe in it. Some people will be so incredibly stupid it will blow your mind. Have ways to deal with something like this. In the sense we should have resources for people who lose jobs suddenly, etc. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think even after we are allowed to go out like we were before there will be a lot of people still cautious.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 3/2020 4/2020 How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Enjoying the lack of obligation and scheduling and expectations of people! How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I write and garden and write. I let the whirling dervishes whirl. I meet friends on Zoom. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 So many small businesses that may be history—terrible to see that. So many people got tired of wearing masks and flaunt that; THAT surprises me. Might be the stupidest thing I’ve ever witnessed—that and the president being a colossal ignoramus. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace?

Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I write; I’ve always done that in isolation. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 No—I pray for the parents out there! If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 That’s my socialization. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Missed my brother’s special birthday. We’ll make it up to him! Looks like he’s going to miss my birthday too! Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have a shelter dog, 7 years old. I think she senses things are “off” in her universe; she’s more needy and fussy. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I have 6 friends/relatives who lost someone to the virus in the first 2 months of lockdown! It was tragic; they could not say goodbye, and there was no proper service after to bring closure. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I didn’t consider that it would be open-ended! I didn’t consider how politicized common sense became. I didn’t realize just how epically dim our President is—though there were many clues before the pandemic. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Don’t be as stubborn and blatantly, militantly stupid as we have been! JUST WEAR THE MASK, wash your hands, teach your kids to care for others. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 I attended one in-person funeral and interment; the number of participants was limited, we were seated six feet apart, everyone had a mask, and there were hand sanitizer bottles everywhere. These rituals are a comfort; it’s horrible for those who couldn’t have any kind of memorial. (It’s horrible enough...) How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Kind people will continue to show kindness; ignorant bugs-for-brains will continue to brag about how well they've handled everything. The new normal will have to include new national leadership, or we are doomed. We need to learn from our voluminous mistakes. Science and love need to come first! Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 How did we elect such a consummate moron to lead us through this crisis?! And HOW does he have ANY support left, and how did they get so dimwitted? Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 We started hearing news reports about a virus in China in February. The seriousness of the outbreak was becoming clear in early March. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My husband, two boys aged 7 & 11, and I stay home most days. Almost all summer camps were closed this year, so the boys stayed home all summer rather than going to camp. In normal times we attended outdoor concerts, went to the children’s science museum, went swimming, ate at restaurants, went hiking, and traveled for work and fun during the summer. This summer we’ve been hiking a lot, not traveling at all, and occasionally getting takeout. We’re fortunate that both my husband and I can work remotely so child care hasn’t been a pressing concern. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 This was a lot more stressful at the beginning. I really mourned the loss of things I enjoy, like yoga classes, meeting my friends for book club in person, and traveling. As things have opened back up, we’ve resumed book club meetings in outdoor locations. One thing that has helped relieve stress is that my husband and I walk outside every evening. We were doing this before the pandemic and keeping that bit of normalcy helped my state of mind quite a bit. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Well, restaurants aren’t open for indoor dining, and most people wear masks. It’s surprising how politically charged wearing a mask and following precautions is. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 No, I’m a librarian and am able to work remotely. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I am mostly working remotely. It’s ridiculously hard to concentrate on work with kids at home, and nearly impossible to homeschool kids and work at the same time. Somehow, almost all of the extra tasks fall on mom’s shoulders, too. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Ugh. It’s been rough. Trying to homeschool my kids and work remotely for three months in March, April and May was an unmitigated disaster. Summer has been better, but the kids are seriously bored, lonely, and mostly sitting on the couch eating and playing on their iPads while Dad and I work. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 My screen usage has gone up quite a bit just for entertainment. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We’ve adopted two kittens during the pandemic. They’re a lot of fun, and a lot of work. I have to clean a lot more because all four of us are home all the time, cooking all the time, and now I have two kittens to clean up after, too. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I definitely take fewer things for granted, and appreciate life’s smaller pleasures more. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I’ve had two cousins contract Covid-19, but they had very mild cases. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives?

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 39 Date 8/8/2020 Location The location of the interview Scotia, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I first realized that COVID-19 was something that could affect our lives around the end of February. It still seemed like such a distant threat, but by early to mid-March we were worrying and planning. My last in-person trip to the supermarket was in early March, and my sister told me to stock up, buy more shelf stable items and essentials, like toilet paper. By that point, it was already impossible to get toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and hand soap. Seeing empty shelves at all the stores added to a panic that I had never experienced in my lifetime. About a week later, there was a flurry at work as we were trying to close down for maybe a month, possibly longer. We ended up being out of work for about three months. So, my reaction intensified from mild concern into an all-consuming anxiety over the course of the first month. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am immuno-compromised and at high risk, so I have not been doing any of my own shopping. I live by my sister's bimonthly shopping trips and internet shopping. I can't imagine going into a store or restaurant, and I don't know when I would consider going somewhere public for recreation. Unfortunately, I do have to work now, as libraries have been allowed to reopen. Fortunately, I have limited days and hours, and my small staff all wear masks. I greatly fear reopening to the public, and I have not told anyone yet that I am considering quitting my job if that happens sooner than I feel is safe. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am feeling great anxiety. During the height of the lock down, I felt anxiety about the news, about going back to work, and about my sister going out to do our shopping. And I felt hopeless watching the news. Now that I have to go out twice a week, I feel greater anxiety and stress like I have never felt in my life. I've not been very successful at relieving my current stress. When I was still in lock down, I had a to-do list, and I would do a couple small productive things a day and either read or watch something funny for relaxation. I watched a lot of videos made by entertainers (and some regular people) made during their lock downs. There was something comforting about us all going through the same thing. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I live right on the main street in my village, and I was surprised how the traffic never seemed to thin out when we were in the middle of our lock down. In general, I have felt this entire time that people in my county have not been taking the situation seriously. I see a lot of people without masks, and I see large groups of people congregating near my apartment. I'm told there are large groups of people in local parks, too. I'm saddened by this, and it increases my anxiety. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I do not consider myself an essential employee, however my work is now open again. I work at a branch of the library. The county library system was closed down for three months. Now we are open for curbside pickup. It has been extremely hectic. We think the amount of books coming into the library has been more than we had before the pandemic. The volume of books and the volume of people that must be contacted is incredible. We set up appointments for people to pick up their items. So far we are not open to the public. Everyone at our branch wears a mask. When I talk on the phone, I wear a face shield instead because the mask muffles my voice too much. Supposedly the libraries are being deep cleaned (though I don't know about that). We are quarantining returned items for five days to account for the time the virus might live on surfaces. We have available hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes. I'm not sure how our small staff is going to manage when we reopen. We will limit how many patrons can be in the library at any time. This would be only for browsing and checking out materials. We have had some regular patrons who are refusing to wear masks, and I'm concerned that we won't be able to enforce that rule. I don't know what sort of disinfecting needs to be done, but with my asthma, I'm not sure how much I can help with that. There is a huge push to reopen the libraries, but, in the best of times, people don't know how to stay home when they are sick. I'm not sure how a staff of three can keep tabs on all of these things and do our regular jobs without getting sick ourselves. Anxiety! Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I was furloughed for three months with pay. I did not apply for unemployment. Other people need it more than I do. I don't have health insurance through work. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I have been using social media much more during the pandemic. I used it more to keep in contact with people I hadn't necessarily kept in contact with before. While I wasn't exactly lonely, I did want to reach out to people, check in on them, and have more regular contact. I also used the internet for news, health information about the virus, and for entertainment. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My birthday was right as this was beginning, and there was definitely a feeling of doom over the whole thing, but, in general, no. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I donated money to several charities during the time, and I've been sending essential health and medical supplies to my handicapped aunt in Pennsylvania every month. But that's nothing. I am in awe of the kindness and caring of so many people during this time. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Luckily, no one really close to has contracted it. My cousin's cousin (not related to me), a healthy 30 year-old man, contracted it and died in May. That was a shock to the whole family. I've known two people in their twenties who contracted it (potentially during spring breaks), but they both seem to have recovered. I know a local couple in their early sixties who had it in mid-March. While they didn't go into great detail, they did say it was the worst they ever felt. Both managed to get through it without hospitalization. In May, they attempted to donate their blood plasma but tested positive again. I don't know if they were reinfected or if the virus had been there the whole time. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I would have stocked up on some things like toilet paper while it was still available. I wish that I hadn't wasted money on some of the medications and supplies (like masks with valves) that I bought before we knew as much as we do know about the virus. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Trust science and scientists, health care workers, and people who have the general public's best interest at heart. Do not trust anyone who is looking to make money, increase their prestige and power, or is willing to overlook facts to make their country/state/county look better than it is. Staying physically away from other people is essential. Is it worth jeopardizing everyone's health just to have a few moments of fun? Wearing a mask is the smallest kindness that you can do for another person. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think it will change some people's lives considerably, and I think it has not changed other's very much at all. I think it depends on how concerned you are about the virus. It's definitely changed how I behave, especially in public. But, we have short memories, and people are trying to forget it, even as it is still going on.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I was in the middle of midterms week at SUNY Plattsburgh just before what was supposed to be our spring break. Word began to spread how people wouldn't be coming back after break because of the pandemic. As things got worse, students began going home earlier with their belongings and finally, it was announced that all of the campus would not be coming back to school and that we would have to do remote learning. Many were excited that they wouldn't be coming back, but I was disappointed. Before I left college, there were already reported cases in Saratoga. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 When I came home, my mom was laid off from her job but my dad continued to work because he was considered essential. It was scary and sad because this illness was like an invisible monster that could happen to anyone, anywhere. My life now is very uncertain. Both of my parents are working now and I am wearing a mask wherever I go, though many people are not wearing a mask, including our president. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 It was very unnerving at first because no one knew what was going on. We have never had a global pandemic like this since 1918 so everything that has happened is a bit surreal. My family wanted to move to North Carolina to be with all of my family so I have been doing home projects like painting and de-cluttering to relieve stress. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Wearing a mask has become a sore subject in my town. Many people don't wear one even though we are supposed to. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 I was in the middle of my midterms when it was announced that we wouldn't be returning to campus after our spring break. Our learning switched to online and it was very hard to have classes that were not meant for online learning, like my public speaking class. Somehow, I managed to receive all A's in my classes though. I decided to leave my school and transfer to a local online college for this fall to be safe. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have two cats and a dog and they definitely were a bit weirded out that I was home all day every day. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 My friend's 104-year-old great grandmother contracted COVID-19 in a nursing home and passed away. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 To not take the ability to leave your house and go places for granted What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I would want them to know that they can't take life and privileges in life for granted. The ability to get in your car and just go to the grocery store became a privilege for me. To see other people became a privilege. Listen to your gut and even when other people are not following the protocol, do the right thing How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Honestly, I'm not sure. Everyone thought it would be gone by summer but here we are in August and things are getting worse in many areas because business opened too soon. I honestly can't say what the new normal will look like. Hopefully, we will come out of this stronger than we came into it.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I first started hearing about Covid-19 in early March of 2020. To be honest, at the time I didn't think it was something that was a huge deal. Then as my family prepared to go out of state for spring break, I became more concerned. We went ahead and took our trip, however, and it was during this time we got word that our town had received its first case. Simultaneously, everything around us (on our trip) began closing down. Restaurants went to delivery or carry-out only, activities were canceled, and Covid-19 was the top story on every news channel. My anxiety skyrocketed. My family made the decision to cut our trip short, and I was extremely worried we would pick up this virus on the way home to quarantine. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My husband worked from home at least part time for over a month, but even after he went back to work full time, my kids and I continued to social distance. It's been about five months now, and in that time my kids and I have not been to a public place besides necessary medical appointments. We haven't been in a grocery store or a restaurant or any nonessential place in all that time. We do go on hikes, bike rides, nature trails, etc. so that we're not totally cooped up. We have also made the decision to do virtual school for our kids this year, at least at first. Our hope is that the number of cases will drop, and we'll feel safe to put them back in school at some point this year. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I struggle with anxiety on the best of days, so it's no surprise my anxiety has been high during all this. This has extended to my sleep being affected as well. To help combat stress, I keep up with my running routine. It's one thing that I've always found boosts endorphins while calming me at the same time. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 In some ways, it seems there has been a division in our community. The lines have been drawn between those who support wearing masks and those who do not. It has greatly surprised me that this topic has been treated in large part as a political issue rather than a medical issue. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I'm a homemaker, so I've always worked from home, though it is different now. I don't want to expose my kids by taking them to a grocery store, so I'm having to be very organized and plan things ahead of time so that I can order groceries and other household items we need. Some services we received before, such as ABA therapy for my son with autism and violin and piano lessons, are being done virtually in order to limit exposure. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes. My kids are 9 and 12, and they have honestly acclimated better than I anticipated. They enjoy the simplicity and quietness of being at home, though we make sure they're still able to connect virtually with friends and family, and we get out at least every weekend to a social distancing activity... such as hiking. My kids are old enough to understand pretty well what is going on. My son, who has Aspergers, has shown some anxiety about returning to school eventually, but it's helped him to know we won't be sending him back to school until we feel it's safe to do so. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 I'm not a student, but my children are. They will be starting the year out with virtual school. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 This has been a learning curve for sure. My daughter's violin lessons, my son's piano lessons, and my son's ABA therapy have all been carried out through Zoom. We've allowed the kids to have a little more time on electronics throughout this pandemic because they use online games as a way of connecting with their friends. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We weren't able to do a traditional birthday party for our son this year. We did an outdoor social distancing party with a couple family members. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have pets, and they bring us so much joy through all of this. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I've loved seeing how innovative people have been during this time. We participated in a birthday drive-by parade for a friend of ours, and it was touching to see others come together to make it special. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 My friend's father contracted the virus. He was fit, healthy, and in his 50's. He ended up passing away due to complications from the virus. It was shocking and very sad. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 I didn't know my friend's father too well, but I do know they had to delay the funeral. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I had known more about the alternative education platforms that exist so that decision would have been less overwhelming. I wish I had known that there WAS going to be a pandemic. I would have used the time more wisely - such as visiting elderly family members whom it's not safe to visit now. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I don't know if there is really knowing how to prepare for a pandemic because it's not something you ever expect to happen. It did become very apparent very quickly, however, that it's always a good idea to have two weeks of meals and household essentials on hand, in case anything like this ever happens. I guess I would say that as crazy as it is to believe something like this could happen to you, it really CAN happen. In a country that is as advanced as we are medically, I always took for granted that pandemics were a thing of the past. And yet it still happened. I'm learning to love and appreciate my family more than ever, and I've found even more meaning in the quality time I have with them. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 That's something I've wondered, but I don't know. How long will it be best to wear a mask? To social distance? I'm hoping eventually we can get back to where these things aren't needed. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I think, as horrible as this pandemic is, it's given me a new outlook in some ways. We were a family who liked to be on the go before Covid-19 hit us. Since social distancing has become our new normal, I've come to really appreciate slowing down, enjoying even the mundane moments, finding joy in the simple things like putting a puzzle together with my family or going for a walk. As busy as we are as a country, I think there's a lesson there for all of us to take time to slow down, enjoy the simple things, and focus on the things that truly matter.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 First effected at the beginning of March, as a cancer patient with a compromised immune system I had to stop going to work. I was out of work for over 2 months. Some of the first cases in upstate NY were in my town, which added even more fear. I was taking my temperature up to five times a day and constantly thought I had a sore throat. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I went back to work at the end of May. Being that I work in retail I am fortunate that my employer is allowing me to work overnight. Being on active chemotherapy treatment, the general public is too much of a risk for me. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel a lot of anxiety. My grandma is in Wesley in Saratoga and I have not been able to visit since the beginning of March. She is 93 and has dementia. I am terrified she will forget me (I know, Selfish) and that I may not get to visit her again. It breaks my heart. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I am surprised that people are unwilling to follow some simple guidelines for the greater good. It saddens me. I just don’t understand the folks who think the virus is a hoax. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Yes. My workplace has many cleaning protocols in place. As well as plexiglass to protect employees. Masks are provided. Gloves and hand sanitizer are provided. We will have to start taking our temperature before we started our shift. We are encouraged to stay home if ill. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I use social media for positive things. I do not discuss politics or the virus for the most part. Dealing with cancer already I’ve developed a solid support system through social media to help stay positive. I also take breaks from it if it starts to seem too negative, which happens. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have two cats. My one cat (Pepper) became ill during this. He had to go to the vet several times and it was hard not being able to go with him. He is doing better now. They are a huge sense of positivity and comfort. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Zoom meetings have been a huge positive. We have a support group for my form of cancer and it was so good to be able to still connect as well as with my brothers and my nephew. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 We lost two members of our cancer (myeloma) support group. It has been challenging not being able to attend services. We are working on a scholarship in the honor of one member. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That this is something that was possible in my life. I never imagined or believed anything like this would ever happen. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Work together for the greater good. Do not become divided like we are now. Unite. Care for each other. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I wonder this a lot. When you have cancer “new normal” is terminology used frequently and to be honest, I dislike the term. I truly hope we will learn to work together and to care for one another despite or differences. I pray for this.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 The impact was March 8th when my son in CT said all the toilet paper was gone from a big box store. Then on March 9th my daughter (in NY) said there were no wipes or hand sanitizer available. I then realized this was serious. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Totally different, never going out without a mask, distancing myself when I do go out, no eating in restaurants, vacations or going to a movie. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I try to keep myself busy doing various craft projects. Keeping your hands busy keeps your mind busy... What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Masks required everywhere, shopping carts cleaned before & after use, not getting close to others while out. What has surprised me is the lack of empathy by the ones rebelling (tantruming?) against doing the decent thing for your fellow man... Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 All kids married w/their own children. Hard not seeing my grandchildren for months on end. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Absolutely...it’s a lifeline to the world. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We had to cancel a family vacation in New Hampshire & a fall visit to South Dakota. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have 2 wonderful cats who brighten everyday! What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 In the beginning we took out gift cards to our local business to help them while they had to close their doors. My 89 year old Mom makes masks daily & keeps everyone in great style! Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 My quilting teacher (and friend) husband passed away early on...so this was never not a serious issue for us. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Enjoy the little things like hugs & handshakes more... What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I’m not sure we, as the common people, could prepare any better than we did. I do wish our Federal Government had taken it more seriously & didn’t downplay it. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think people will be much more careful regarding contact with others. I also think masks are now a part of our lives. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Just look for the positives in every situation and keep busy & active.

Question 2 There isn't an aspect of daily life it hasn't changed, from interacting with others, to getting basics like food and medicine, and in Saratoga Springs - a 'destination location' where people travel to globally for the summer and the races - the normally busy summer season is vastly changed. All entertainment venues are closed - Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Caffe Lena, all local indoor theaters - and the racetrack is running races MINUS spectators. People can bet on the races online, but cannot attend in person. Restaurants and bars, if open, generally are only for dining outdoors - and some streets are partially closed to allow them to use the sidewalks and even parts of the street to set up dining outdoors. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 The longer the virus continues to spread without an effective treatment, the more of a toll it seems to be taking on everyone, including friends and neighbors as we pass a full half year without any true health fixes for the problem (outside of avoiding all contact with others - which isn't a viable option for anyone!) What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People simply are not out and about (which is for their own safety) unless necessary. I went to the concert broadcast live by a group of friends from Caffe Lena last week - I was one of four (masked and distanced) people there other than the musicians and those broadcasting the concert. Live music was SO strange (and good!) to hear for the first time since winter - and I wondered how many others had not heard live music since then, either... Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 I work from home, so fortunately did not have a storefront to close, but the store where I sell my painted pieces only reopened this summer; many for limited hours and most with far fewer customers than normally busy vacation/track season. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Most difficult challenge is that I don't drive, and many service-based businesses are "drive-through only" so it has been difficult to get items I may not know I need quickly. (If time isn't a concern, I can order items online which are delivered in a few days by mail.) But I have to ask friends or neighbors if it's an emergency - and most of them are not at home during the day when stores are open. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Far more than usual. Majority of contact with friends, most shopping, and to see movies and hear 'outside world' programming like BBC World Service when desired. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 All major parties and friends' events were postponed; sometimes they became a small, properly masked and distanced gathering in a yard or on a porch. I went to one birthday where I could see people were not masked and there were more than permitted sitting too close together. I left before anyone could see me due to the lack of responsible safety! Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have been trying to adopt a specific breed of (adult) dog, so I could be sure it was quiet as I live in a subdivided old home and need to know in advance it's not a noisy dog. The rescue I have adopted from in the past is closed due to interstate transport and quarantine safety issues. :( What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I have been doing more community artwork - and also encouraging people to be more forgiving of each other in social media exchanges. We don't need added stress in an already difficult time! But in my immediate neighborhood, people do seem to be more supportive and giving than usual. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Wish we knew how to convince the Trump administration and its Republican senate to take this lethal - and still incurable - virus seriously instead of calling it "a hoax" and telling trusting Americans that it would "disappear," while casting aspersions on the medical doctors and scientists who were trying, early on, to raise appropriate alarms and get the administration to act in the best interests of the American people. Because science and medicine were ignored, the United States is as divided now as at any time since the Civil War - and we have the highest virus infection AND death rate in the WORLD, with all the harm to families, jobs, communities and our entire way of life that upending an entire economy and social system entails. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Education is key. Children need to be taught to value and trust PROVEN FACTS above rumors and propaganda - and how to effectively tell one from the other so that they can both understand and share that proven knowledge with others. That way, if a leader tells them one thing while science clearly shows them another - like U.S. President Trump asserting that a proven lethal pandemic is "a hoax" and will "disappear" when science shows it is killing increasing numbers of people across the globe on a daily basis - they will have the education and skills to dismiss and ignore such harmful propaganda, and have methods and media in place to assure that correct, fact-based information is distributed to (and believed by) all. That way, the safest approach to whatever threat can be speedily enacted, and the brightest minds of their time can be put to use to solve the problem quickly and permanently. Funds and equipment should be set aside and protocols created in advance so that when the next critical national or international health challenge appears, the country need only enact the proper health and safety protocols the minute the problem is declared an epidemic, if not sooner! How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Sadly, at present, it seems that the misinformation continuously provided by President Trump and his administration on everything from the severity of the virus and its likely duration to dismissing for months its ONLY proven prevention method (universal mask wearing, distancing and thorough sanitary washing) and his continuing refusal to mandate those methods for the U.S. public nationwide has led to a mistrust of science, medical practice and even of fact-based and researched journalism that may take decades or longer for the U.S. to recover from - if at all. The "new normal" created as a result are families, friends and neighbors who don't speak with each other depending on whether they accept or deny scientific fact; the thousands of people who died - on track to to be more than were killed in America's World Wars - all because the country did not adopt a uniform medical plan or response to the virus, making the U.S. the global leader in COVID-19 infections and deaths - and a resulting loss of American homes, jobs and fundamental security for all but the wealthiest citizens (who became even wealthier as the rest lost both income sources, savings and more). All of this points to a "new normal" which is likely to be far more difficult for most Americans than any of us yet know. And I'm writing this while our "Capital Region" area is being described as one of the virus "hot spots" in New York State where we (unlike New York City, which saw first-hand its hospitals overwhelmed and bodies needing to be placed in refrigerated trucks in hospital parking lots because storage areas inside the hospitals were full) did not have an early high death/infection rate to frighten the necessary majority into adopting safe public health precautions. So we have a local virus infection rate here which is still GROWING - with no reliable medical treatment yet available - and a vaccine which is only still in the development phases. So it seems far too early to wonder what the "new normal" truly will look like, when it appears we're still very much in the throes of the old nightmare. (I write this as today's used cloth masks are having their nightly soak in their very hot, soapy water, soon to join yesterday's hanging to dry before they are used once again for any public outing...) Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 If you are reading this in future, I hope it's with shock for the previous times when medical science and technology hadn't eliminated viruses and similar fatal conditions and infections - and that yours is a far safer, healthier, peaceful and equal world for all!

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 31 Date 8/27/2020 Location The location of the interview Porter Corners, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 In early March, we started to really pay attention and take a few precautions. Mostly, more cleaning and hand washing. March 16 has been solidified in my memory as the last day I went to work for months (though we were closed to the public), the last day my kids spent at their grandparents' house (our regular childcare help), and the last day I went to the grocery store (my husband has been doing any necessary errands as he is an essential worker and therefore already out of the house). How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I have been working from home for five months and almost never go out except for a walk or to be outside on the property. This has changed aspects of our family dynamic, our habits regarding food preparation and consumption, and how we spend our time. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 There have been ups and downs, new stresses that we had to figure out how to cope with. My husband and I have both invested time in learning (or re-learning) useful skills, such as sewing and gardening. It feels good to see the results of these endeavors. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 In the thick of things, we were taking a lot of family walks in the evenings. When everyone was home from work and school, all up and down our road there were families outside walking together, biking, gardening, and working outside. Not surprising really, but nice. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am not essential (though still working from home), but my husband is. I cannot speak to the full list of precautions taken at his workplace, but to keep our home a "clean space" he re-showers immediately after coming home and wipes down anything he had with him at work. We have also been quarantining our mail and groceries/other purchases for three days. I feel lucky we have the space in the house to "indulge" in this. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I am working from home, thankfully only part-time. I have actually enjoyed this for the most part, as I have been able to work on a great variety of projects I am interested in as well as some continuing education efforts. I am happy to have no commute. The biggest challenge is to not get distracted by my three children or five pets. I have had to change my entire work schedule to work around my husband's hours so that we can trade off on watching the kids - I am so thankful for the flexibility I have been afforded in doing this. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 I do have three kids at home. It has certainly been an experience! Most of the time it has been fine and not too different because the youngest two are 1 and 3 so they would be home, anyway. It was definitely challenging getting through online school with our eldest because no one really had adequate time to prepare for the situation (teachers, parents, students). There have been many times we have just all needed our space because of too much "togetherness"...it helped when the weather got warmer and we could spend more time outside. The situation has taken a toll on all of them socially and emotionally, increasing anxieties that were already present or creating new ones (am I raising a little germaphobe???). My 1-year-old seems to have lost all of her socialization skills since she is with me almost all the time. Even after the world gets closer to being back to normal, I foresee a lot of time spent undoing things like this that the quarantine has brought about. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I check my e-mail and am reliant on the Internet to be able to work from home. We stream all of our TV (though we did that before) but after a few weeks, I more or less stopped watching the news. It just got to be too much. I was rarely on social media before the pandemic and that has remained the same. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My daughter had her first birthday in April. We didn't exactly postpone her party (we had all the grandparents over for a socially distant gathering outside) but it was certainly not the normal experience I wanted to remember or have us look back on in pictures. I really feel for those whose major events like weddings were affected or canceled. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 At the start of the pandemic, we had our dog and one cat. Our cat was quite elderly and unfortunately passed away this summer. About a month later, we adopted four kittens which has been a (challenging) wonderful distraction! Our dog has loved having us home all the time, but I anticipate she will have an adjustment period when we start leaving the house more again. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 We participated in the #518RainbowHunt, as did others in our neighborhood. This was such a small thing, but it was a positive thing for my 3-year-old to hold onto and get excited about in the earlier days when there was so much uncertainty. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How long it would last. We would have packed in more family visits with grandparents, that has been one of the hardest things. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I would say that you can't necessarily anticipate how you will be affected until something like this happens. We only prepared a little more than we already were for events like power outages. I was raised to always think ahead and try to be prepared for emergencies, so we already had a supply of non-perishable foods and paper products. In general, not just going into a pandemic - don't wait until you are completely out of essentials before running to the store (especially with little kids). If you are in the habit of having things on hand (and live with enough space to have extra supplies), you are more likely to be able to avoid feeling forced into panic buying. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think given time, most things will go back to how they were. I think masks will be around for quite awhile, especially during flu season. I'm trying not to put too much effort into imagining the future, as there have been so many unprecedented happenings this year.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 77 Date 8/27/2020 Location The location of the interview West Pawlet, Vermont When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 On Saturday, March 7th, 2020 I left my daughter's home in Silver Spring, Maryland and returned to my home in West Pawlet. Three days later on March 10 my daughter let me know that her school (she is a teacher) was closing due to the Covid 19 and that she was bringing children (4yo and 10yo) to my house here in Vermont. I returned to her house to her her pack and on Saturday March 13 we drove both cars with kids, clothes, and toys to Vermont. Two weeks later my sun, his wife, and their 4-year-old daughter arrived from their home in Northern Virginia. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 That put seven people -- plus my son's two mid-sized dogs -- into my two bedroom house: daughter and two boys in the small bedroom with bunk beds; son, daughter-in-law, and daughter in the larger bedroom; me on a bed on the sunporch. We arranged for my son to do the grocery shopping. I bought a second refrigerator, had the garage wired for electricity, and put the second fridge in the garage. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 At first I simply acted as "hostess" as I would have normally done if my children and grandchildren had visited. But after three months, and getting depressed, I vowed to pursue my own interests and activities -- admittedly either strictly at home or via zoom. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 My brother, a farrier, who lives just across the road from me, continued his work. I thought he probably shouldn't, but he was adamant that animals had to be cared for which made him an essential worker. I saw a post of FrontPorchForum asking for masks for medical facilities in Rutland County and immediately began to use my years-long hoard of fabric to make masks. I made 15 for the West Pawlet Volunteer Fire Department and another 15 for the Wells Volunteer Fire Department. I made probably 100 for the Rutland Regional Medical Center. I used patterns and instructions I found on-line and eventually perfected masks that worked well. I received several letters of thanks from the RRMC and cards from ICU nurses signed by each! I have noticed, however, that excluding my brother's family I seldom see my neighbors. Even now few people wear masks around the neighborhood (this is very rural) but everyone maintains social distance. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 es. I had had my house on AirBnB for three years which brought in about $10,000 annually. But with my family gathered to wait out the virus I had to take it off AirBnB. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 My daughter and daughter-in law both have children and both continued to work full time. My son-in-law was able to care for his daughter while his wife worked. But my daughter is a singe mom and had no one to help. She had to supervise her 5th-grader's classes and work assignments, as well as to 'invent' on-line appropriate classes for her 3-6-year old classroom of students and then videotape or Zoom them. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 All professional work and school work is done on digital platforms and work always suffers because V-Tel wifi is very overloaded and often fails. Both my daughter and daughter-in-law applied for and landed new jobs during this time via Zoom. They're both pretty amazing women! Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My maternal cousins have a family reunion in August every "even" year -- as we have had for the last 60 years. We cancelled it this year because of the virus. I would like to go to England next July/August to attend the wedding of my cousin's son. But as yet Americans are not permitted into the UK. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 My son's two dogs are well-trained and provide lots of diversion for all of us. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 It seemed many people made masks for the medical facilities and essential workers in the area. Fabric and elastic were shared around when needed. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I know of several people (husbands of women I know) who have died and several who have had the virus and survived. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I knew that Donald Trump was not the president of our country during this time. His failure of leadership has put the United States in a terrible position, caused untold deaths, heartache, and made our wonderful nation the laughing stock of the world. Never elect as U.S. president a narcissisticTV personality with a string of failed businesses who denigrates the educated, insists on loyalty over expertise, hides his tax records, and spouts divisive hate-filled messages. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Listen to the scientists! Ignore conspiracy theories. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Predictions are merely simple speculation. . . but expensive college and university educations will alter higher education, more people will work from home so there will be lots of empty office buildings -- which might lower expensive city rents, there will be opportunity for a new generation of restaurant owners; perhaps more people will move to rural areas.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 My granddaughter was pregnant and an ICU nurse. She was caring for Covid 19 patients in another state. This was at the beginning of the virus impact. Very worried about her and my unborn great grandson’s welfare. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I retired last year (gratefully) home alone the last 4 months. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Lonesome, bored and somewhat depressed. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People don’t talk to each other, seem scared and don’t sacialize. Are you a business owner who has had to close?

A friends relative. They passed Granddaughter, an ICU nurse, tells me of some patients who she helps not to be so lonesome. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 A friends relative. Offered sympathy by phone. No funeral. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Not to be living alone. I would have moved in with a family member or a friend. It’s to hard to be alone New glasses so I could read better. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Increase their sanitizing routine. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 People are turning into “germ a phobes. Peoples are going to a social distance now and will continue to do this. Not good! Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Having to wait to meet and cuddle my great grandson and his mom has kept me sane. I understand the deep depression I have felt and it scared me. I thank God for them. Friends are family by choice. Stay in touch.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 The day I went to Walmart and everybody was sweeping the stuff off shelves and dropping them in their shopping carts. I don’t think they even noticed what they were sweeping in their shopping carts How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 It’s like Gestapo. Your controlled exactly how to walk into Walmart, there are loudspeakers telling you to mask up. There are lines going out the door with only 2 people inside. My friends at work had their hours cut or threatened w eviction because they can’t make rent. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I’m really pissed off. The liberal media has made us all fools. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Everyone is overreacting to another flu. We didn’t shut down the economy in years past because of the flu. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates?

How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 It’s not as bad as the liberal media made it out to be. Take care of yourself, eat good, sleep good, wash your hands, you’ll be alright. This whole ploy was hyped up to take down Trump. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 53 Date 8/21/2020 Location The location of the interview Pico Rivera, California When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Although my first date of COVID-19 awareness was in early February, my first impact occurred on March 12, 2020. That was the day I received hordes of emails from my workplace, bank, church, library, my insurance, AAA, and even from Office Depot and Barnes & Noble, all about the Coronavirus.  My boyfriend Mike had gone to Walmart earlier today, and he saw hordes of people grabbing cans of food, toilet paper, and bottles of water. He said many were just sweeping whatever was on the shelf onto their carts without even bothering to see what they were loading. Within a week, all the entrances to my workplace were bolted shut, except for one. I also had to contact the authorized temperature check of the day and be cleared before I could report for duty. Life seemed to drastically change so rapidly that it felt scary. Worry intensified on March 24 when the first case was reported in my city. Its location was determined to be 2 miles from my home. I also got to especially worry about a treasured high school friend who was living with HIV and other workplace friends with asthma. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I had to stop with my weekly visits with my mother and brother, a decision my mom had a hard time with as she seems to believe and act as if I have nothing and would starve to death. So, admittedly it was a nice break for me to be away from her highly anxiety-ridden, weekly helicoptering. However, things have gotten worse between me and my boyfriend as our views of the Coronavirus were total opposite. I firmly believe in taking precautions, and he thinks we have all been duped and overreacting. He’s vehemently vocal about all the decreased or lost jobs around him, and seems to blame me for the consequences of the economic lockdown. It got to the point where I even considered breaking up with him and living in the streets, as the talks got to the point of me shutting down. I was eventually counseled to request that he stop talking to me about the Coronavirus issue. I did and that has helped. As for work, my main stress has been about the frustration with getting supplies. First, I struggled for almost a month to receive masks, and now I’m on my fourth month without a phone. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 As of August 20, I am feeling better. I relieved stress by emailing friends and did some counseling. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 At first, there were reports of people helping each other out. We shared food, celebrated in other’s birthday or graduation,...Then in July, I felt unsafe after members of an online neighborhood watch forum got hateful with me for a view I had shared based on my experience. I felt the outrage so strongly that I wondered whether I would be accosted or physically attacked if any of them were to recognize me at the gas station or the supermarket. I called on some friends for prayer support for the hate I was feeling. After a week or so, the situation blew over and I returned to normal about errands around my city. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am considered an essential employee. I do security at a dental manufacturing plant & administration. Precautions taken include a daily temperature check and screener questions, mandatory 6-foot distancing, and required facial covering. After one employee was sent home for emerging symptoms, the plant and administrative offices closed on a Friday, and cleaning crew was brought in to clean and disinfect. However, I was assigned to report to work, so the custodial manager insisted I be masked and gloved whenever I was inside. Fortunately, I had just received the mask and gloves the day prior. The precautions I tried to take at home was met with resistance from my boyfriend. For two weeks after my workplace got disinfected, I tried maintaining a 6-foot physical distance. He honored that on the first days. After that, he would dismiss it with “Flu season is over” or “Don’t be silly”. Fortunately, I didn’t succumb to the Coronavirus—that I know of. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 Not laid off or furloughed but feel bad at those at the administrative office who have. As a former adjunct faculty, I know what it’s like to be laid off. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 No. Mike has two grown children and one 8-year-old granddaughter, all of whom are living with Mike’s ex-wife. I think of them from time to time, whether his free willing youngest disregard social distancing and bringing the virus home to his grandmother or how the 8-year-old granddaughter is doing with her education and the pressure of schools to reopen. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Inspired by a Facebook friend, I’ve taken to doing mental health checks with friends. Copied from that same friend’s post, I would send this to other friends via email. MENTAL HEALTH CHECK-IN [1] I’m doing great [2] I’m okay [3] I’m meh [4] I’m very worried/anxious [5] I’m exhausted [6] Things are tough, I’m struggling [7] I’m having a hard time and wouldn’t mind if someone reached out to me [8] I’m in a really dark place Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 I had to turn down a baby shower appointment with my cousin because as an essential worker out in public, I don’t know if I could be an asymptomatic carrier. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Donated money to a few food pantries Offered to help a friend who had mentioned in her email that she was “not being confident of rent or meals”. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I’ve learned of my friends’ bouts with COVID-19 through Facebook. At first, it was like “Oh my God!” But then I learned they disclosed of the illness after they’ve beaten it. Fortunately, for them, it wasn’t that bad. However, I know about many others who weren’t as lucky. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I read about it in China. I was wondering if it would impact people I knew there. When it was in NYC, I knew it would spread here because we are so close. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I stick closer to home. I have a few friends and family that I see in small groups and outside. I had to work from home for several months and am slowly going back to work. It may not last and I may be back online again. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am keep track of any information I can find on the virus. I am working on crafts and reading to keep my mind off things. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Many people are staying home. I see a lot of people wearing masks and complying with social distancing. I feel more comfortable going places where I see people being safe. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am a teacher. We are starting school soon and taking many precautions. As long as people are wearing masks and washing hands I feel comfortable. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I worked from home for several months. I found it very depressing. I need to be around people. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 My son did well with online learning but he missed interactions with his teachers and friends. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I have used tons of digital platforms for my job and to socialize with my family. They help but don't take the place of real interactions. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Our pets are very happy we are home. I think they may miss us when we return to work and school. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I started contributing to Biden to get Trump out. I have given to my church to help with the community. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Always remember there are good and bad in all people. Problems like this bring out the best and the worst in some people. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I will treasure time with my friends and family more. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 63 Date 9/1/2020 Location The location of the interview Houston, Texas When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I had gone to visit a friend right about the time the news was talking about it. When I got there, her daughter, a Physician Assistant, who worked in ER clinics told her to stay home period. She began educating us about the outbreaks. I returned home in a week for work, but our school shut down for virtual learning. It was all new, confusing, crazy with daily updates from the Texas Education Agency. Attendance was not required but our principal did require students to attend virtually so we made it through with good attendance and lots of effort. We were all fatigued from the quick switch to virtual learning. Our students were champs. Our families were great. We talked to Families weekly—every family who answered the phone. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I stay home almost completely but work always kept me home. I just retired. Before the virus, I used deliveries a lot because of physical problems. I am almost completely reliable on them now to minimize contact. I wear a mask out but rarely go out. I wear a mask when people come to the house. I cook more, eat out less. I seldom have people here but we sit across the room from each other. I don’t go to church now. I stayed away from my mother (83) for 5 months because I was working and we had lots of cases in town. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel mostly fine. I get lonely a bit more than I used to. I miss my dog who died. But on the whole I only worry about money. I trust God and use my brain. I listen to authentic medical opinion like Dr. Fauci. I refuse to watch or listen to Trump. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 As a teacher, nothing much surprises me about people but I do wish more would be responsible about social distancing and masks. I regret they many can’t tell fact from fiction. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I retired in June. I would be an essential worker if I hadn’t retired. My former school I’ll be deep cleaning every Wednesday and every weekend. Teachers have to wear a mask. Students do not. Classrooms will be spread and some students will learn virtually. Students will be in the same room all day. Teachers will be teaching live and virtually at the same time. It’s ridiculous. Planning that could be shared and lessons that could be taught differently will all fall on the one Teacher’s shoulders. YEA did not do much to help and bowed to Republican pressure. It’s a shame. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No but the co tracts we signed as soon as the virus erupted here warned that we could be furloughed but there was no plan for who or when that would happen. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Not now. But sitting at the computer all day with one lunch break was physically painful and emotionally exhausting. I love helping kids and teachers. I’m very computer literate (librarian) but it wasn’t what I thought it would be. I only wanted to sleep at the end of the day. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I did use the heck out of Zoom to train the library media specialists under me. That worked fairly well with some Zoom glitches. I hated using Google Meet when we were meeting with kids. It was too clunky. I stayed on FB more to feel connected. I couldn’t wait to retire and close my Twitter. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 I missed a couple of funerals I would have gone to. There were no other events for me. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 n/a What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I got to help my teachers more because of their needing virtual help. I provided more training and teaching of classes.i did not. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I did not. I had a former principal in the hospital for over 50 days. A forme student was hospitalized for quite a while. Both survived. Two of the librarians under me had it. One is still not able to work yet. I know others but can’t remember them all. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 To but disinfectant wipes. I wish I knew that my government would behave honorably and that we had a president with integrity and leadership. We don’t. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Learn science, people! Learn to discern truth. Open your minds. Take advice from medical specialists. Look out for quack doctors. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Probably like it looks now. I would love not to be expected to shake hands or touch and hug strangers. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Have hobbies like reading to get you through the pandemic. Listen to music. Don’t be dependent on others for fulfillment. Learn to be quiet and be okay. Appreciate yourself and care for yourself. Drop the business. Replace it with connections to nature. Turn off noise in the house. Meditate on good things. Be grateful. Stop whining.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 57 Date 8/31/2020 Location The location of the interview Old Forge, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 When we were to travel south to see friends in SC and go to Mexico to see family before going to CA. We gave up on going to Mexico because we didn't want to risk being unable to get back to the US. Then we decided to delay driving to CA until the virus is under control. We have had very little COVID-19 here. We have been amazingly lucky. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My wife is a university professor in CA. She was taking a leave of absence that was to end this month. Now they have declared that all classes will be taught online. We are going to stay here in the Adirondacks until next winter, it seems. My son who lives in NYC has moved here with us, along with his girlfriend and their dog. They too work remotely, so they're holed up here indefinitely. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I'm a little lonely, missing my friends and being able to go out for drinks and other social activities. I'm also somewhat depressed, but coping. We are on a lake, so we go out on our boat a lot. We can get food to go, and eat onboard. I do work around our house, things like cutting firewood. We watch a lot of streaming TV. We read. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 What has amazed me is how everyone in the area seems to mostly taking the virus seriously. There have been some big gatherings, usually with Trump flags on display, but those are relatively few and are usually denounced by most. The community has very much pulled together during this. Even with differences of opinion about Trump and the virus, they're all behaving as a community, taking care of each other. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 We have been using Zoom and similar services to stay in contact, and have been using streaming services to keep entertained. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 The importance of masks. This could have been contained with the use of masks, as we now know. But more than that, I wish we had all known just how politicized this would become. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I would want them to know that it was far more widespread and virulent than necessary because of selfishness and stupidity. The refusal to wear masks and take precautions stems from adolescent rebellion in people who should have outgrown it decades ago. Entire swaths of the country see themselves as rugged individualists, heroes standing up for their rights, when what they're really doing is having a tantrum and endangering the rest of us. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 There will be more opportunities to work remotely. People will be able to spread outward from the cities, bringing new prosperity to the rural areas.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Date 8/31/2020 Location The location of the interview Cheshire, England When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 When the people were sick on the cruise ship in Japan. It became clear this was having a wider impact than other duseases How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I damaged my knee just after lock down started, didn't want to go to hospital so it has taken til July to get a diagnosis. My mother was in a care home, we couldn't visit and then she died, not from covid directly, but I believe she gave up because she hadn't seen us. Her funeral was very weird, only 20 mins, only 6 of us there, and no gathering afterwards because of the rules. I have had a heart attack, which means they won't sort my knee until they have sorted my heart, but waiting lists are huge because of the backlog from lock down. So my life has changed beyond all recognition How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am stressed and anxious. I watch way more TV to fill in time. I am trying to eat healithily and walk regularly What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 There has been quite a lot of community support with a food bank being set up, local companies doing deliveries. I am surprised by how judgemental people are about how others don't follow 'the rules' Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 My work ended with lock down. As an office holder rather than an employee I am not eligible for any benefits Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I have recently started working from home. It has been remarkably straightforward, apart from needing space to store the papers. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I have attended various lecture series, and a choir. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have dogs. They have got very used to me being around, so I am concerned about returning to the office. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I did shopping for some of my neighbours. There was the clap for the NHS, and a number of people were making masks and scrubs for care workers. One of the schools cdt departments made visors.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 82 Date 8/31/2020 Location The location of the interview Galway Lake, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Mid March 2020.I was forced to become a recluse. Since I did not use my car, the battery died. In someways, I enjoyed not having to go anywhere but eventually I experienced cabin fever. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I have eliminated social gatherings. I Miss sharing time with friends. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel fine. I exercise, read books, bake, create online photo books, work on my Family Tree on Ancestry, visit via phone calls and enjoy time with my immediate family. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Social activities I have stopped. I am surprised that so many of us have adapted to this dramatic change in lifestyle. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am not an essential employee but I have instituted precautions at home. I wear a mask and social distance if any repair person has to enter my home. I have soap, sanitizer and paper towels at every sink. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I am retired and was able to retain my health insurance. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 As I said, I am retired. The adjustments, though, I have made are having my children pick up groceries and ordering items from Amazon. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 I have an 8 year old grandson living upstairs. It’s wonderful having him visit, play the piano, play ping-pong And just be around. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 My granddaughter is a college student and wanted to return to school which she did. Unfortunately, she’s having Covid symptoms as are other students. This means her school may have a shut down for two weeks. My grandson is a third grader and his parents have decided to keep him at home until Thanksgiving and do virtual learning. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I enjoy using Facebook with my friends, family and Galway like community. I use the Internet for Spiritual support such as Mass and other uplifting presentations. I read books online. Create digital photo books and update my family tree on ancestry.com. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 I postponed visits from my children in Colorado until August when airline protocol protection had improved. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I don’t have animals. My children upstairs have a dog And I have my children and grandchildren. They are my pets! What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Since I’m a gardener, I’ve enjoyed planting pollinator plants in my environment. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I don’t know anyone with Covid unless it turns out that my granddaughter in college has it. If so, I would be sad for her since she wanted to return to college so badly and her education is being held up. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 I didn’t lose anyone during this pandemic but if I did, I would celebrate their life by sending notes to their family and contributing to a charity in memory of them. Since I have a strong belief in God,I am confident that they are in their eternal home and quite at peace. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I can’t imagine anything except appreciating the happy social get together’s we were able to have before. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I can’t imagine any way to prepare for something like this pandemic. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I can’t possibly predict what the new normal will look like. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I would say appreciate the moment, be kind, let go of judgments and criticisms, help one another, care for our earth, simplify our lives and realize That God is always with us.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 57 Date 8/30/2020 Location The location of the interview Cambridge, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I work in New Rochelle, my non profit provides after school programming we were the first large spread in NY and it caused us to shut down and scramble to pay our staff and refund our parents How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I work exclusively from home, before I commutes down a few days a week, I have been blessed to have more time with my two College aged children but regret the disruption in their lives. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 So Stressed! Work has never ended as we struggle to keep our no profit afloat, and partner with the ever changing needs of the schools and families we serve. At home juggling the emotions of three children and husband has become full time often at the expense of my sanity. I cope by realizing the work I do will help others and I grab what ever time I can for me and I do cherish this extra time with my older children. We are blessed while so many face more challenges. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Being in a smaller community there seems to be an extra effort to be cheerful and kind - even when parents are frustrated with school they seem to engage more respectfully. I am shocked by how many want to ignore and avoid what is happening and keep going forward with blinders. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 I am CFO of non profit which closed when schools did - we have struggled to keep essential staff and laid off part time. We are trying to manage the cost to repopen against what we can charge families - we lost so much when we had to refund families that we have little resources to start up again Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 We are implementing all state CDC and OCFS guidelines to run our after school programs at a huge cost increase for masks, sanitizer, cleaning, reduced attendence and so on Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes but I had previously worked from home part time. I am in finance and it is easier for me than others but difficult when you can’t reach colleagues or be part of impromptu conversations Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Very hard all 3 hated online but made due. My two college aged students deferred their fall semester in the hope of returning for in person If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Too much at times, I hate the panic and politicizing of so much - hard to get facts. I have changed habits to look for personal and uplifting information than news or engage in debates Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 High school graduation - very bummed as her school he so many senior traditions she missed but the school did their best Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have 2 dogs and 2 cats and they have provided much love What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 A lot of community building locally and a desire to figure out how to operate. In Cambridge there have been so many donations to local restaurants to feed our children in need - very supportive. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes my colleague at work, youn healthy man hit with several waves, and a few parents this is all down in westchester - no one seems to have had major impact from it If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That toilet paper and paper towels would be gone honestly my daughter and her friend were concerned when the outbreak first happened in China. They study mandarin and were more in tune to the news there - I wish I had listened to her more seriously and prepared my non profit and myself more. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 The news media played up panic and the politicians were quick to point fingers!! Every day people did their jobs and many at risk to their own health. I so appreciated the ability to buy groceries, get a delivery, grab take out - and we should celebrate them and not the ‘cult of celebrity’ we see on media. Use common sense, don’t think you are smarter or know more than the medical guidance. Don’t panic - you can survive on basic stuff and relish the company of family and simple pleasures. Doesn’t hurt to have A few Supplies on hand! How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 It’s not going to change our behavior we see people misbehaving now. New normal will be dependent on prudent health management - I think we all realize what we are able to do without Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 This was longer than I thought but makes you think - less media overkill would have made this more bearable - I think they were irresponsible as it caused panic for many people Who then flooded social media Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 57 Date 8/29/2020 Location The location of the interview Crestline, California When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I don't think the full impact has occurred to any of us, yet. However, I first became aware of the impact when I was no longer allowed to work from my office: March 18, 2020. We have had very few cases in my town and only one death of an elder man. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Working from home, wearing masks everywhere, seeing family members less, frustration with the government for both under reacting and over reacting. Concern for the many, many people who have lost their livelihoods and homes and may ultimately lose their lives due to suicide and/or homelessness. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Walking around the lake near my home. I am not stressed myself because I am financially secure and can work remotely from home. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Eating outside at restaurants, small businesses going out of business; lake beach closing. Surprised how fearful people are and how much they trust the government to take care of them and be honest with them. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Yes, I am considered an essential worker. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist who works primarily with children. Most of us are working remotely, seeing client's virtually. A few employees are in the office and social distancing. Agency meetings take place via virtual meeting as well. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Privacy for the confidentiality of my client's is somewhat challenging. Setting up a workspace with appropriate lighting and background. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 I am not a student, but I work with students. They did not return to school in the Fall. Much of their anxiety disappeared when they went to distance learning and many parents who can are considering having their children continue with online learning because they are thriving without the peer pressure from fellow students and the bullying from some teachers and students. It's very sad that our schools have become so unsafe for our children (mentally and emotionally unsafe). How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Much, much less social media! Virtual meetings for work. I've done my banking online for years. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Miss Kitty adopted us and we like having her in our life, but our also glad she is free to come and go as she pleases. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Client's (children) depressive and anxiety symptoms disappearing when school was cancelled. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 To buy toilet paper! What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Keep a stash of food and toiletries. That the government shut-downs made everything worse for most people and the economic impact and fall-out lasted for decades for some families. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I hope people will be more financially prepared--12 month emergency funds, etc. I hope people will be more independent and less dependent upon the government. I hope police will be allowed to do their jobs to protect our cities and small businesses. I hope the "bad cops" will have been weeded out.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 72 Date 8/28/2020 Location The location of the interview Saratoga Springs, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Mid-March 2020; it was simultaneous. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Slightly inconvenient now, No very different from pre-virus life. Scary in the beginning with self-quarantine, lots of anxiety due to uncertainty of the future, and suddenly cutoff from daily routines and activities. Silver lining was the quiet and open environment of the city streets around me. Being cognizant of the “poorly-wrapped gifts” of the pandemic mitigated the initial anxiety and promoted gratitude. Now that things have opened up, the quiet has gone. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Zoom meetings, dog walking/hiking, fitness practice, Spiritual practice, keeping in touch with friends and family, reading outside, swimming, eating well, being cognizant and grateful for what I have, certain I’ll be okay whatever happens. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 The number of people who remain dismissive of the virus’s severity, and do not observe the recommended safe practices, thus expressing a gross lack of concern for those around them. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am not employed, but I do wear a mask when I interact with service people who come to my house. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Using Zoom meetings and face time, and texting and calling more than usual. Also using food takeout a bit. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have a dog, Della, who was diagnosed with lymphoma in March. As I live alone, she is my sole companion, so I started cancer treatment for her immediately after diagnosis. She is doing very well. I’m not sure what my mental health would be if she weren’t part of my life. It’s been good for both of us to have more time together. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I contributed to causes that concern me, continued to fund membership and consultation fees for activities that were cancelled, kept in touch with loved ones more frequently than usual, volunteered for Zoom meeting duties, got take-out from restaurants. People who weren’t flouting virus precautions seemed okay with expressing their fears and accepting help. The vulnerability was a positive effect to welcome. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 With a carefully-planned and participant-compliant outdoor memorial service. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Nothing; what was there to know? What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 That our president failed, and continues to fail, spectacularly to keep the country safe. That some states took a leadership position to counter the national chaos, while others were part of the denial. That, coupled with the country’s last three years of the erosion of our democracy, came an awareness of all that needs fixing here and in the world, and that courageous people are working together to eradicate the inequalities on every level of our culture.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 It occured in an online conversation with someone in Italy. I did not have a mask and didn't need to go out, so I stayed home since the parks were closed. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am pretty much a shut in now. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel isolated. I spend a lot of time talking to people in online chat apps What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 The blatant political response to a public safety issue. Any support I presented to businesses with essential workers was met with horrible customer service. That surprised me the most. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing?

Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I use it to talk to friends and family as well as meet new people. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 I had to stop my fitness program. I did nothing. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I will be adopting a pet this coming week so that I have an emotional bond with something. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Nothing. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How to obtain masks. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I don't think about it. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 52 Date 10/12/2020 Location The location of the interview Galway, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March 13, 2020, when schools were closed down. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am considerably more conscious of the spreading of germs and how to pretext myself and others. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel great. I have used the time at home productively. To relieve occasional stress I practice reiki and meditation and I read. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Community members are, for the most part, compliant with state mandates. This, in and of itself, surprises me, given the predominant political makeup here and that many in that group have traditionally viewed COVID as a hoax and masks as a violation of personal rights. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 I have a small business that I run infrequently. I have terminated services voluntarily because they involve hands on treatment and I do not wish to perpetuate the spread of the disease. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am an educator. My workplace is closely following the state mandates including sanitizing, masks, and reducing the population on site. At home I clean and disinfect more frequently, stay home when possible, take our temperatures frequently, and wear masks in public. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I was unable to work for 3 months due to working as a substitute teacher and schools closing. I received unemployment during that time. I retained health insurance through my spouse. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 I have a Junior high school student participating in the hybrid model of learning (2 days in school, 3 days home). She continues to excel since the spring, when she finished the year with a 100 average. She enjoys learning independently without the intrusion of behavior problems from other students. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I do not use social media differently now. I use it primarily to keep up with news, particularly our governor's daily updates. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have 2 cats who have appreciated some of us being home more often. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 The disastrous handling of the pandemic by the current Administration has compelled me to be even more involved in encouraging people to vote. I work on several voting initiatives. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How completely inept and self-serving the elected leader of this country is. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 It was dangerous enough to take seriously and I t does not discriminate. Wash your hands, avoid crowds, and wear a damned mask. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I suspect social distancing and mask wearing will continue for a long time for those who are educated in the science of disease and who are compassionate enough to have concern for other beings.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 3/13/20. Don’t know if any cases in my town How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Slower... we were home based before... but even more now How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Usually feeling pretty good! But sometimes all the things that we have missed in our area such as community get together‘s make you a little sad. Really glad to have gotten back to work... being out for three months was a little tough... but then so is teaching kindergarten and fifth grade to my grandchildren. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Our area is very school-based... if you have children that is, A lot of things happened in our community somewhat based around the school so it was very sad to see so much stuff shut down. The level of commitment to social distancing and mask wearing and sanitation in our area is very very high! Are you a business owner who has had to close?

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 61 Date 09/21/2020 Location The location of the interview Voorheesville, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 my wife and I traveled to Nashville to visit a friend in late February. Things were starting to get dicey then especially in early March when we can back. One week later my office (WNYT) was closed to all non-essential. I worked from home for the next three months. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am in AD sales at WNYT and had finished 2019 as a good year with great expectations for 2020 including selling sponsorships to the Olympic coverage on NBC. The year has been a bust on the business side. My sales are 50-70% of the previous year. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Since March there have been few opportunities. Travel is not happening, although we recently snuck away to Gloucester Mass. My wife has been great company as she was sent home from work at the same time and called back in shortly after. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 There really is not much socializing any longer. If you go to a restaurant or bar you feel awkward and uncomfortable. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 Our office splits time with half the staff able to go in the morning and the other half afternoon. I have the morning shift. We are on the road selling but most clients really don't want us in their stores. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I've spoken a lot about work. At home my wife and I are very careful. She is a dental hygienist and that profession is not safe and not sure if it ever will be again. That is probably our biggest source of anxiety. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 My wife collected unemployment for 11 weeks. My office never closed so I continued to get paid but being a sales person who works on 100% commission it has been a lot less. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Zoom calls/e-mail/text and phone have taken the place of in-person sales calls. The changes have made me move up my retirement time line. I am now targeting the end of this year. Work is no fun anymore and there is a lot less money to be made. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Constantly on my e-mails. Zoom meetings have become a big part. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Just vacations. I have a bunch of time to use before the end of the year now. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Our cat has been great company now that my wife has gone back to work. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes, I had two friends die within the first month. Both in their 60's. Great guys, recently retired. sad. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 Not yet as gatherings are still not allowed. They just had a mass for Larry, but we were away in Gloucester. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How dangerous it is especially for my wife. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 We have been given so much bad information by the President and good leadership by the Governor. I wish we had not elected a game show host to be president of the US. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 retail, restaurants. sales, will all be different. Investment companies are all closing their brick and motor shops. We have been forced to do many things on line that have taken getting used to for someone my age. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Trump has been a disaster. His lies have only been surpassed by his indifference to the death and destruction going on around him.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 63 Date 09/21/2020 Location The location of the interview Saratoga Springs, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 The impact happened fast, my workplace ( a local college) shut down and I had to get my son back from his sophomore year at the University at Albany. He spent the spring doing online classes and the summer doing an cybersecurity internship online. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I spend much more time at home. While I did work at home most of the time prior to this ( I teach online college classes) now I work at home all the time. I am definitely more socially isolated. Also , cannot travel to see my elderly mother on Long Island or make plans to get away for a bit over the long winters we have up here. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 My feelings are mixed. I am somewhat of an introvert so perhaps better able to cope with this than others. I relieve stress by taking a walk in the beautiful Saratoga Spa Park, talking with friends and family on the phone/Face time, and working on my academic projects. Also going through a lot of stuff in my house and donating things I don't need anymore. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Perhaps I see my neighbors home more, but not much seems to have changed. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes, working at home but I basically worked at home before. Miss going in once or twice a week to my office for a change of scene and to see folks. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 My son is now living in an off campus apartment. He was home from college this past spring and summer. It was fine since he is 20. I have colleagues with young children and it is very difficult for them to juggle work and home schooling etc. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have my cat, Snow, which helps with the isolation. If I didn't have him, I would definitely have adopted a cat or a dog. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 That most people here in Saratoga Springs wear masks and seem interested in helping to stop the spread. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 One colleague had COVID 19. She had Lupus prior and this left her with a permanent case of emphysema. She seems OK though. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That our public health systems would not work. I already knew that Trump was incompetent but this really showed how bad he is at governing this country. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I would want them to know that they cannot count on government to help during a crisis and they must educate themselves and prepare their own resources to survive. Also, that it doesn't help to turn on others during this time. We really do need to pull together to make it through. Finally, " this too will pass" How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think that once we have a vaccine and some good treatments, CV 19 will become like the flu... won't go away but can be managed. I think that the new normal will be emphasis on sanitary conditions and public health ( I hope).

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 42 Date 09/14/2020 Location The location of the interview Halfmoon, New York How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am an Elementary Classroom Aide at a Local Public School District. Today was our First Day of School for 2020-2021. Students must wear face masks while riding the bus and while at school. Classes are no more than eighteen students. Student desks are six feet apart. There is tape on the floor where the desks should go. Students remain with the same group all day. This is called a cohort. Students are taught English Language Arts / Spelling / Writing ; Math ; Science and Social Studies. Students use traditional paper and pencils, as well as, I-Pads and Chromebooks. There is no physical education; music ; art ; library ; or computer classes. Lunch is eaten in the classroom. Students buying a hot lunch or milk have it delivered in to-do boxes to their classrooms. There is no talking or socializing. Only eating and drinking. Students must throw their garbage out in large wheeled garbage cans brought from the cafeteria each day, then, clean their desk with a cleaning wipe. Outside recess is twenty minutes. Students must wear face masks and classes must remain within a pre-drawn box in an open field. No equipment maybe used. All teachers and staff must wear face masks. Some wear disposable gloves and face shields as well. Some teachers wear microphones to be heard better. All classrooms have hand soap, touch-free paper towel dispensers, hand sanitizer, tissues, and two types of cleansing wipes - one for either children and adults to use - one just for adults to use. There is no sharing of supplies or books. Everyone has their own items. Items that need to be moved to someone else must sit for three full days first. Hand washing is taught. Social distancing is maintained. Cleaning, disinfecting and sanitizing is continuous. Health is screened. Temperatures are taken. Everything is different!

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 76 Date 09/16/2020 Location The location of the interview Halfmoon, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 In November-December 2019, the Wuhan COVID-19 outbreak was being reported. By January 2020, the Chinese strain of the disease was affecting South Korea, Italy and the West Coast of the US. The East Coast, particularly New York and New Jersey, began to feel the impact of the European coronavirus strain In February. If anyone doubted by mid-March that we didn't have a global pandemic, they weren't paying attention. My own reaction had changed by late January or early February as I realized how serious the crisis would be. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am a choral singer, and my partner and I are tennis players and ballroom dancers. We also like to travel both in the US and overseas, and we are used to going out weekly to dinner or to hear music. All that has been put on hold since March. We have four children and five grandchildren between us; and until June, we hadn't been able to see them. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 At times, I've been cranky and occasionally have been depressed. I've had "cabin fever" from not being able to get out - particularly until the weather turned warmer in May. My partner and I have gotten by with rental movies, takeout dinners, reading and 1000-piece jigsaw puzzles (wine consumption has also been up!). With warmer weather, we added meeting friends - outdoors and distanced - and taking walks. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 My extended community in Upstate New York has largely followed state safety guidelines. People locally were initially scared and suspicious, but have become polite and thoughtful over time. What has surprised me is how many people outside our region are selfish and inconsiderate of the safety of others, and have failed to see what measures have worked in states with strong governors in bringing rates of infections and deaths down. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I am a retired New York State employee. I'm fortunate that my retirement benefits and medical coverage have continued uninterrupted. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 My volunteer work since retirement has been in community education, specifically as a Board President of our local two-towns public library and vice president of our regional library system. All board and committee meetings, budget and long-range planning sessions, etc. have had to be virtual. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 For privacy reasons, I don't use social media. My internet and digital platform use has increased significantly. In particular, Zoom and GoToMeeting have been very useful. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 I was on the planning committee for my 50th college reunion in May, which was cancelled along with graduation (we held a virtual reunion, with Zoom program sessions, over four weekends, and we published a 300-page 50th anniversary book instead). Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 n/a What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Libraries in the Northeast, along with schools and colleges, closed in late March and early April. The boards of our local library and regional library association were involved in the closings, developing safety and reopening plans, and the staged openings themselves (which are currently still in progress). This process is described in more detail under Item #27-28. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 We've had a few deaths since the start of the year; all the memorial services have been postponed until 2021. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Why emergency stockpiles had fallen so low, and why public health expertise had been deemphasized by some politicians. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 It's not a mystery. The public health professionals had taken their 40-year experience with AIDS, Ebola, SARS and MIRS and had developed clear protocols, which have been largely ignored in much of the United States. 1. Each political jurisdiction should have a single spokesperson. 2. That person should be guided by the counsel of career public health and medical professionals. 3. The message should be factual and truthful. 4. The message should err on the pessimistic side to encourage citizen awareness and compliance, rather than worrying about panic. 5. Adequate emergency supplies should be stockpiled, with plans to retool industries to quickly replenish them. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Business and convention travel will be down, and more videoconferencing will be utilized. More people will be working fully or partially from home; and office rental income will fall, particularly in central cities, which will also affect urban restaurants and small businesses. People will be more careful when and where they travel. There will probably be more un- and under-employment, with corresponding pressure for both income subsidies and new job creation. The political divide over whether or not to trust science will continue. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 64 Date 09/16/2020 Location The location of the interview Warrensburg, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I first started paying attention to COVID when the cruise ship outbreak occurred. I think it struck home on March 16, 2020 when the Governor shut down the state. My reaction was to clear my calendar of all events. My calendar has never been so empty. I am unaware of any case in my town. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am retired and had a very active social calendar. Now every day is the same with nothing to look forward to. I also have done more cooking than ever before. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am feeling fine, but i notice that i frustrate easily. If a simple task does not go well, i tend to swear profusely, or walk away from it if i can. To relieve stress i forgive myself from the above mentioned outbursts and tell myself that i am staying alive. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 In the beginning, traffic and just seeing the library closed and the school closed, but now as these places are reopening, i am surprised by how many people aren’t taking this as seriously as i. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 My book club meets weekly via zoom and as i serve on several Boards And each seems to use a different platform so i have a wide variety of apps for gathering. Also i am embarrassed to admit my weekly screen time is now always above 8 hours a day. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 I had both a niece and a nephew change their weddings celebrations to just themselves and officiants. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 n/a What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I am wondering if my difficulty in answering this question is a statement in itself. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 I lost a cousin in the beginning, i personally did not do anything beyond a monetary contribution and make phone calls of support to his wife. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I’m glad i didn’t know anything. I think i saw it as a challenge in the beginning, testing our resiliency. Okay, so we’ll celebrate Easter alone without family gatherings, we got this. By the time we got to The Fourth of July, i started to feel sorry for myself. Now i am thinking of Thanksgiving and Christmas without family, and i don’t “got this” at all. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 This could not have been prevented, but it could have been mitigated. Don’t let anyone polarize Americans to the extent that we are helpless in the face of a virus. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 To be honest, i can not think that far ahead. Right now my sole focus is on Election Day, after that we can plan one way or the other. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 For the first time in my life i have read through my entire stack of “To Read” books, every newspaper, magazine, and instruction manual n the house.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Sometime around March 1st, 2020. In. late February I was just interested in the "new disease", then reality began creeping in that it might be serious. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I stay inside a lot, I do use public transportation, while masked, grocery shop and go to the pharmacy. I do not go to people's homes or enter restaurants, theaters, etc. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am cautious but optimistic, I think. I listen online to the radio while browsing social media to stay in touch with others. I watch a great many British detective series, a stress reliever for me. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People here generally adhere to the mask/social distancing rules in grocery stores, local businesses, etc. I am pleased about that. I was not sure how many would do so. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I use a Roku and stream to TV, love streaming media. I am on Facebook and Twitter and Instagram to stay in touch with friends and community news, events, etc. I listen to public radio on the computer while I am online. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I adore my dear cat. She is great company, spunky and entertaining. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place?

Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How quickly our lives were about to change...it happened almost in the blink of an eye, it seemed.... What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 That it was serious, that people lost loved ones, lost jobs, lost income...people used food pantries for the first time in their lives...income inequality has to be addressed seriously. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I am not sure yet. Sociologists and historians will be studying and writing about this time for years to come. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 No, I think not, thanks for doing this. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March 11-initial impact was hardest as it was a big impact through work How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Think more about buying and supporting local. I am home more as I am telecommuting at this point for work. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 It is overwhelming at times trying to navigate life in general then add this and knowing if you are making the right decisions for you and your family. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 More people outside which I enjoy seeing. What surprised me is the negativity that has spread around between littering and not caring about property to the negativity said to one another at times, i.e. differences in mask wearing and how it is being handled by government. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes-internet issues at times. At times it is hard to get motivated for work when you are in your home environment. In the beginning work didn't shut off so learning to balance that while in the same location. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes- okay however there are days that both are frustrated due to being home and not having the buffers of activities to give one a break. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 my son's school went remote in the beginning and is now hybrid for 8th grade- he hates remote learning How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 researching items, trying to stay in touch via social media with people we can't see at this time Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Yes we adopted a dog which would have happened regardless of the pandemic but it was nice to be here to bond and train initially What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 people coming together- we had people sewing and giving away masks, people stepped up with the food pantry and a fund to help people get through Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes - she lost her sense of taste If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 to be at peace no matter how stressful things get- better stress relief What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Have savings, support local and know where items can be got locally- have discussions with loved ones what will you do if it or something like it happens especially to support elderly or disabled family members How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Not sure. I am hoping positives like supporting small and local business and looking at the value of those workers we fully depend upon, i.e. grocery store workers, warehouse workers, those that take care of others such as the disabled and elderly. I think they don't get paid and supported enough normally and we need to look at that overall. I would like to see healthcare change so that if you lose a job due to the pandemic you don't lose your health insurance when it is possibly needed the most.

No hope of a job. Depressed. Lethargic. Angry. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I listen to meditation music on YouTube.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 63 Date 10/16/2020 Location The location of the interview Queensbury, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March 26, when there was no longer employment for me. I don't know when the first case here was, but my reaction changed in April when I realized this isn't going to be short lived. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I no longer have a job I loved so most days I search for activities that are productive and/or meaningful, somewhat successfully. I pay more attention to nature and the weather, and exercise because I used to move around a lot at work. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Lately, there's ups and downs. I'm meditating again, which helped tremendously in the spring. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 My community is a residential development with wooded areas so this spring and summer I saw many more birds and animals right outside my house. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I'm now "retired" but will work at the early voting polling place later this month. I'm told we will have masks and plexiglass. At home with my son who is a teacher assistant, we keep air circulating with some windows open, although it's chilly, plus lots of hand washing and wiping down. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I was not laid off or furloughed. I had a job with no guaranteed hours so I'm still an employee but since April have had zero hours, except for several for online training. There is no guessing as to when I'd be scheduled again. I do not collect unemployment. I see this type of situation as part of the uncounted unemployed. I still have health insurance. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 No, except for online training. I would comment that for my marketing work and my work as an election inspector, online training is great! I find I learn things more easily with starting and stopping videos. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 I have my one son, age 23, at home. It's going great. I often think I'd be lonely if he wasn't here because I'm staying home so much. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Same as before with the added online training. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 No and no, but I'm considering getting some goldfish. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I now have time for following through with an idea I had before the pandemic. I design and sew utensil pouches so people can carry their own cutlery instead of using disposable. It's part of my mission to help the environment. Also, I think it's great that people are driving and flying less. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 No, although I know several people who had symptoms and who either weren't tested or did not test positive. All said their energy was depleated. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That our government previously had a pandemic team. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 From my point of view, I would say it affects everything going forward, from employment opportunities to travel choices. It's a game changer. I know I won't go back to living the way I did before, such as driving often to places just for entertainment and eating out frequently. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 As I noted in the previous question, I can speak for myself on this. I think how "we behave" and the "new normal" remains to be seen. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Back in March, 2020, when intense restrictions and closings were first introduced, I thought it blow over quickly and it was an overreaction. I changed my mind about the overreaction when my niece, a health care provider, caught it a few weeks later. And I finally resigned myself to the fact that life will never go back around mid-summer. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I'm not as active, physically or socially. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I'm lonely. My partner works but I'm retired. The dog only provides so much company. I've recognized some mild depression in myself. I haven't exercised like I should/could due to lack of motivation. With some easing of restrictions, I've managed to get out a little (lunch outside with a friend, for instance) and any little thing is very exciting for me. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Keeping in touch with friends and family from a distant. Zoom has been useful for that. And as a (poor) substitute for live music. A lot of artists have been offering online events and I've been thankful for that. It's not the same but it will do for now. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We had a trip to Croatia planned for May as a celebration of our 25th anniversary. Obviously, that was cancelled. We were lucky that we got our money back. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 My dog is a lousy conversationalist but does give me love and affection. She was already in the house when this all happened. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 We donated a chunk of our stimulus check to causes we have always supported. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 My niece got Covid at work, caring for other Covid patients in a hospital setting. She gave it to her husband. They were ill for about 3-5 weeks. It was scary since it was early in the crisis and most news of patients was very dire. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Listen to science. Don't let the issues get politicized. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Living distantly will be the new normal. Less hugging and physical contact. Glad I'm not single.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 First week in March I was flying back from Florida and couldn’t find hand sanitizer anywhere! Didn’t believe severity at first. Then spoke to friend on Spain and he warned to take it seriously. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 A bit more boring but more family time (which I love). How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I’m fine but I worry about others. Trying to be supportive. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 More politically charged Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I love working from home. I find myself so much more productive and less burnt out Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 My children are adults, thank god! If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 More important than ever Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I foster my children’s pets as needed What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 More family time . I like social distancing in lines. I’ve always been germ aware so appreciate the added separation Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 The real facts. It has been so difficult to distinguish between fact and media hype. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I don’t think it was as bad as first thought. I think the media and politics played a HUGE part in our response to the virus. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 More aware of personal health. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 The media has been awful and having a pandemic during a presidential election year and decennial Census year has been most disruptive and concerning.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 38 Date 10/15/2020 Location The location of the interview Trussville, Alabama When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 A week before everything shut down in March i was hearing a lot about it and I was very concerned. We backed out of a few events we had planned, and didn’t go to church. Alabama was one of the last states to get COVID19 tests, so we were wondering if it was already here. Once the cases started, everything started shutting down. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I rarely leave the house, maybe once or twice a week. I’m high risk for complications from COVID because of my cancer history, so we are really careful. My kids can’t do ballet or sports or school trips. We homeschooled even before this, but now we don’t get to do the things that helped them socialize, like activities with our homeschool group or friends. I had to let our memberships to the gym, kids’ museum, etc expire. We do online dance and fitness classes instead. We haven’t eaten out since March. I started ordering groceries delivered. I almost never see my friends anymore. I spend a lot more time on Marco Polo and FaceTime now. We left our church because they were so cavalier about it and didn’t take the safety precautions seriously, (plus other things). We’ve been watching a new church online. We spend a lot more time in our backyard. We started our new school year in June instead of August because we might as well. There was nothing else to do. We make masks and sell the ones we don’t use. We wear masks any time we leave the house. I keep a lot more stuff stocked up now in case there are shortages again at the store. We still can’t find Clorox wipes and hand sanitizer easily. We had to cancel all of our trips. The only things we’ve done this year are camping trips. My husband is taking off two weeks of work before Thanksgiving so that we can quarantine and then be able to share Thanksgiving with my mom and grandmother who are both very high risk. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am constantly under stress. My anxiety is terrible. I feel so frustrated and discouraged seeing so many people getting “back to normal” while I’m still at home. It is emotionally exhausting. My friends with lots of money are buying campers and new cars and going on long vacations, while we are struggling to make ends meet. To relieve stress I have some time on Saturdays set aside to be alone when my husband takes the kids. I also do my fitness classes and try to read and do art. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Everyone is divided into camps. Mask/no mask, it’s a hoax/it’s dangerous, open everything/close everything. People I used to respect are posting conspiracy theories and hoaxes. I guess what surprises me is how many people act like there’s no pandemic. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 No I’m a stay at home mom Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 No but my husband is. He works at an automotive plant. They are required to wear masks and do temp checks and social distance. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 My husband was furloughed for three weeks this summer. We were able to get unemployment and keep our healthcare. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 My husband worked from home a few weeks this summer but he is back at work now. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes, 8 and 5. They miss their friends and their activities so much. They were already used to homeschooling, but not like this. We used to have activities every day. Now we just stay home. They are trying to be ok but it is really hard for them. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Lots of FaceTime, Marco Polo, and messaging yo connect with friends. Zoom chats and fitness classes. Zoom meetings sometimes. We started a book club that meets twice a week on google hangout. We are doing our annual Halloween party on zoom this year. My daughter had her ballet recital on Zoom in the spring. Our tabletop gaming group now meets online instead of at our house. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 I don’t think major life events...we had a trip planned for the end of March for my daughter’s birthday and an anniversary trip planned for July. They both got canceled. We just celebrated at home as best we could. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have a hamster but he hasn’t changed much lol What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 We attended an outdoor distanced family rally for racial justice this summer. We have cultivated some new habits to keep the house clean and running smoothly. We’ve tried some new hobbies, Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 No one in our immediate circle. We’ve had some cousins get it. They got better after a long illness, but one of their roommates died. We have several friends who have lost relatives. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I honestly don’t think there’s anything I could have known that would have made a difference. I knew it was going to be a long haul, not just a month or two. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Some of us took it seriously. We did our best. It is really hard, and everyone made mistakes, but we had no prior experience to guide us. If you need to prepare, keep a good stock of basic paper goods and food supplies, but don’t go crazy. You’ll still get to go to the store. Stock up on activities for the kids. And lots of books. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think we will be more careful about spreading germs in general. I think we will do more things online. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I kept a journal for the first one hundred days.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Mid-March when my library closed. I don’t know when the first case was reported. But the county’s numbers blew up when the nursing home 1/2 mile from my house exploded with cases ( supposedly from patients transferred from NYC). How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I wear a mask in public. I limit my errand running (saving me gas...) How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 So many other drastic, self-inflicted, changes happened in my life that COVID, thankfully, has been barely a blip. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 It’s like a ghost town. I have been surprised that even folks in our lowest Socio-economic class are wearing masks. Most have appeared to be the least educated and informed members of our community. It made me wonder about their access to information. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Same as before Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 No change What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Sewed masks. Real rallying around essential workers. Our bike shops has noooo inventory and is a month behind on tune ups and repairs. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 n/a How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think it depends on how long we are living this locked down existence. How many months are years have to pass without significant adjustments to our ‘freedoms’ before a new normal is declared. Is virtual, homeschool, a viable option for pre-K-12? Is working from home really a sustainable solution, regardless of technology and available infrastructure? Humans are social creatures. Can we exist isolated into such small groups? Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I grew up a child of nuclear threat during the Cold War. I’ve read and watched enough dystopian fiction to know what would happen, but the pandemic doesn’t exhibit the traditional elements of a global disaster. It looks like business as usual until you look reeeealy close at the details of life.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 The day my daughter started remote learning. I take Covid 19 seriously and I don’t purposely put my family in danger. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I can’t hug my friends and family. I wear a mask to protect people. My daughter hasn’t been to school since last year. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I’m ok. I reach out to family and friends via phone or social media. I binge watch sometimes. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Checking in on one another more. More random acts of kindness occurring. Nothing has surprised me. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes. I have one daughter. She’s had her moments. But is talking more. She’s watching the news more. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I use social media to reach out to friend. I use the internet to check the news and do research. I’ve also started on line searching for Christmas ideas. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Had to organize and participate in Birthday parades. Had to celebrate birthdays differently than normal. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Yes. Yes we adopted 2 kittens. They keep us laughing every day. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 We’ve gone to food drives and shared with neighbors what we got. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How to prepare better for it. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 We only can get through it with kindness and support of friends and family. Stock up on no perishables and check on your neighbors. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I hope we are kinder, calmer and listen more to others and ourselves. Not sure what the “new normal” will look like. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 February, 2020. I got more alarmed. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Working from home, lost wages, missed Comic Con this year. Taking life more seriously. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Worried about local outbreaks. Walks and knitting to relieve stress. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 More pedestrians. Surprised at some neighbors who ignore social distancing. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home?

Every generation goes through hard times. It’s less of a struggle when you can accept difficulty and suffering as part of life. Helping others helps your own peace of mind. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Being unable to visit my father during his final illness was truly hard. He was so brave about it. I miss you, Dad. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I had a box of masks stored from the SARS epidemic waiting for the eventual next epidemic. It seemed surreal to actually get out the box and use the masks. I'm a teacher, so when school moved to distance learning, I spent four month alone on my farm barely seeing another human. I became very depressed and realized I need other people more than I thought I did. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My job is more difficult - teaching 60 students in person and 30 on Zoom. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 All week I think about being at my cabin in Long Lake. I hike there and am in nature. Every week I take a Jeep load of belongings from my house to my cabin so I can live there full time after I retire. This goal gets me through. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I have two friends who have had heart transplants. One is super cautious about avoiding Covid. Surprisingly, the other is not at all. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 At school, students are limited to twelve per classroom and have to sit in their seats all day. Mask breaks for two minutes. No real P.E. class. No recess. They are handling it surprisingly well. Discipline problems are way down. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 My elderly dog is blind and half deaf, but still loves our weekends in Long Lake. I would be so lonely without him. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I have supported local music groups by Venmo and given tips to my mail carrier. I don't eat out, but am having food delivered by a restaurant supply company to help them stay in business. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 No, but a young medical student from my daughter's tiny town died from Covid. A particularly ironic loss of a young life. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 A strange drive- by funeral outside the funeral home. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Pandemics and other difficulties happen to every generation. This is one of ours. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Supply yourself for emergencies all the time. Be prepared so you can help others instead od needing help yourself. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I believe we have not paid enough attention to pandemic possibilities for many years. Because it has always been an interest of mine, I have long thought more attention / money should go to the CDC. I think increased awareness of germ - control and public exposure will be the new normal and that is a good thing for all people at all times. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Thank you for having "big city" library essentials available in Long Lake.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 When they closed down schools in our area. I feel that this reaction to the pandemic was very blown out of proportion to what Covid-19 really is. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My son is a High School senior and nothing for him is normal. It's a very hard time with all the things that have been taken away from him. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Stressed is the right word. Because of my faith in God and His saving son Jesus Christ I do not fear though. I do read and play Disney Emoji Blitz on my phone as stress relievers. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 The mask obsession is very prevalent wherever you go and yet it makes no sense scientifically. It has surprised me how willing people are to let the Government roll over them with laws and restrictions that are unconstitutional. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes, three. My senior in High School is suffering. Everything he wanted to do in regards to his senior year has been taken away from him. No Homecoming, no football, no in school classes and interactions with teachers and peers. My other two children I already homeschooled so they are moving on with life pretty much normal. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 To interact with peers outside of my hometown. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 n/a Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Yes, we had a dog way before the pandemic started. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 When we were able to worship in our churches again we were glad to be together. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How much of an upheaval it was going to be on my High School Seniors life. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 The Government is quick to take over lives as they see fit. Be sure that those in office really will have the public's best interests at heart and not some political agendas. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 It needs to go away. This is the flu and yes a large number of people have it but the over cautions are not benefiting the health and well being of future generations. We will have children who are not as well educated. We will have children afraid of disease. I'm afraid the "new normal" is going to make us very vulnerable.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 36 Date 11/13/2020 Location The location of the interview Olean, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I knew that when Covid-19 hit the United States it would spread quickly. Americans aren't known for following directions. When it did hit, I knew right away that life was different. A day before everything shut down I started feeling unwell. I had developed an abscess, which then burst, and I had to be admitted to the hospital for emergency surgery. I then recovered in hospital for 6 days, alone. Due to the pandemic, I couldn't have any visitors. I saw the precautions hospital staff were taking to prevent spread. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 To be honest, my day to day life hasn't changed much. I've always been an introverted homebody. After three surgeries over seven months, my illness is healed. I did suffer the loss of beloved pet budgie, and the loss of a friend from non Covid-19 related illness. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I have dealt with deep depression. Lately I've been feeling better, due to medication and regular counseling. While I was off work and still ill I got a Nintendo Switch and the new Animal Crossing game. It was a fun, calming way to pass the time and remotely keep in touch with friends. I still play, but also spend time reading, streaming series, and playing with my parrots. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Most people are wearing masks and using a lot of hand sanitizer. People aren't touching each other anymore. No hugs, or handshakes. Most people keep a distance, but not always 6ft. There are some Covid-19 deniers in the community, most notably my alderman. I'm disappointed and bewildered, but not surprised. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I've watched many more shows online than usual. I also listen to podcasts, and play Animal Crossing on my Nintendo Switch. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have three budgies and a green cheek conure parrot. They are out of their cages as soon as I get home. They help me keep calm and engaged. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Know that the president (Donald Trump) was dangerous and inept. His actions directly resulted in thousands of deaths. In the years before, he got rid of government agencies including the pandemic response agency. He blatantly lied to people, saying the pandemic was under control, wasn't that bad, that masks and other precautions weren't needed. Not everyone listened to him, of course, but those who did made everything worse for everyone. In the future, if doctors tell you what precautions to take to stop the spread of a pandemic, LISTEN.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 3/13/20 Still waiting for it to hit Sherman, & very sad at the amount of uncaring people around. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 More cautious, we work go to everyday. Get groceries once a week. But we always wear a mask when near other people, at work & shopping. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Anxious, cautious, wanting to wake up and find this is all a big dream instead of a nightmare. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 That there are a lot of people that don’t have consideration for other people and they don’t like to be told to do something. It’s above them. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I was considered an essential employee this spring, masks are worn, frequent hand washing, if have the slight sniffle you stay home. We stay home, only go out for food, supplies and work. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Getting frustrated at post of people who will out and out not follow guidelines. I do a lot of hiding & snoozing people. After all this was suppose to be over on 11/4. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Yes my parents 70th wedding anniversary, we did a card shower for them, hoping to celebrate later. Thanksgiving will be just like Easter, I’ll cook the meal and my daughter & family will come get their share. We have only seen our grandchildren a couple of times as they have been unable to come home and have postponed out of the fear of bringing something to us, as we are high risk. Awfully lonely and depressing. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 A dog, he keeps us company. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Made all my children & grandchildren masks so they are able to work and attend school. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 No, my granddaughter is quarantined now because of school. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 My father-in-law died the second week of February and as sad as it is to say we were lucky, he would of never survived in a nursing home or hospital without being able to see family every day, it probably would of wore on my mother-in-law too. We were able to give him the burial he deserved. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 That as always the government makes all these mandates that they won’t & can’t enforce and is not following through with helping defray the cost of everything they mandated. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Not much will change as we live in a “me” society and if it doesn’t effect you, you aren’t willing to adhere to mandates to help other people out. That’s why 7 months later we are still seeing an increase in COVID cases. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Delaware was locking down and we wanted to leave before we couldn't. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Mask wearing, distancing, no live poetry reading events, no live music shows, less visiting of relatives and friends, less dining out. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Feeling good. Not feeling particularly stressed. Walk in the woods. Read. Write. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People are generally following guidelines, even the obviously silly ones. I'm surprised by how imperious the NY State government has become and how easily folks fell into lock-step during the lock down. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No. On Medicare with a supplement. Insurance intact. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I'm a poet. Having a hard time organizing readings, book shows, sales. Using online technology more - hating the lack of face to face contact. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Use social media for Zoom conferences, family "visits", promoting my book, interviews, staying in touch with the writing community. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Had to postpone book launch events. Used the internet to get the word out. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 n/a What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Folks seem to be more concerned about those who can't get out on their own. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 n/a If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How long it would last. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Don't panic. Question authority. Rely on science and not on pseudo-science. Be reasonable about being safe but don't live in fear. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 It shouldn't change much. We should be very careful about who we elect to public office. The "new normal" is a media concoction (like much of that drives the worry, fear and panic) and we need to be very careful about how we react to news. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 70 Date 10/25/2020 Location The location of the interview Easton, New York When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 During a 2 month February and March "snow bird" stay in Florida we saw news broadcasts of severely ill people. In early March, the stores had shortages of everything. We were in a "spring break area" which normally causes high shopping traffic and some markets experience some slight problems with stock. But the covid food hording coupled with the extra vacation population in the area was like a perfect storm of item depletion. I found it a bit concerning to be unable to find toilet paper, Clorox wipes and paper products. But the real fear set in the day there was no meat (except chicken feet) and no fresh vegetables in the supermarkets. The canned food was also depleted. This was scary! Back in NY, I knew we had a freezer of food and some canned goods in our cabinets but in Florida we had no supplies. The impact was also startling as the beaches were closed, the pools at the resort blocked off and the restaurants closed. We were in a huge resort and by the end of March there was only 5% of the guests left. That made it very easy to social distance as we walked on the nature trails, boardwalks, and wharf. However, it was eerie because it was so deserted. In mid March we could not decide if we should drive back to NY or stay until our reservations ended. We were watching our 10 year old granddaughter on her spring break as her parents worked. NY was reporting higher infection numbers than Florida. NY was the hot spot in the country. Governors along the coast were closing public rest stops. Restaurants, hotels and stores were closed. Would anything be safe along the trip that may be open ? How would we make a 3 day drive? We decide that everything was too confusing and no one knew what was best to do. We hoped by the end of March it would be better. Our NY friends told us that there was no problem in our rural community and the problem was in NYC. Then we read in the news that a preschool teacher who lived a mile from our rural NY home had Covid 19. We were now sure that the assurance we had been given was not valid. We drove home at the end of March. The roads were deserted, large highways had no traffic and looked like a science fiction movie of the end of the world. I packed 3 days of food that we could eat in the motels and in the car. Our usual bathroom breaks at restaurants were impossible as they were all closed. We stopped at Dollar Stores, Walmart and rest stops on the highway where they were open. Quickly in and out, wearing our masks and using our hand sanitizer as soon as we got back in the car. The drive home was nerve wracking. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Life is extremely different for us. We see very few people and rarely go into public places. When we returned home from Florida at the end of March we totally quarantined. We continued to stay isolated for months. Our son did our grocery shopping throughout April, May and part of June. He left the groceries in his carport and we picked them up. In June, he returned to work and we began to grocery shop once a week. Before Covid 19, we were used to shopping multiple times during the week and going to the mall or shopping centers. As NY moved into other phases and opened stores, we still did not go into public places. More recently we have been to a few stores but very infrequently and very briefly. Socially -- well, we are not really socializing. Before the pandemic we met with friends once a week to play cards. We have not seen them since January. We do not have book club, women's club nor in person community meetings. Sadly an older close friend lives in a senior center and due to restrictions we have not seen him since January. This is a drastic change as we used to see him multiple times a week. He is now declining and in a nursing home and we have not been able to visit him. Luckily, we have started to visit my son, his wife and our baby granddaughter about twice a month. I imagine that in normal times we would be interacting much more with her and she would know us and be comfortable with us. She was so isolated during her first year of life, with only her parents as human contact, that she looks at people as alien beings. Life has been very different for us. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Since I am writing in October, feelings have changed drastically and frequently over the past 10 months. The emotional roller coaster seems to be dependent upon the news stories and what we are doing each day. Sometime, I feel extreme fear of dying a terrible painful death. Other times when the news and infection rate is better, I feel hopeful that we will be fine and life will return to normal. Currently , the number of cases is rising again and more so in the rural areas. I am so weary of the restrictions and feel as if a year of our life has passed without the chance to live it as we would like. I am surprised that I am thinking about a missed year of life. I am sure that would not have been the way I thought about it when I was younger. Then, I would have just said, oh well, we can do that next year. I also realize that I view events differently. This weekend was a trunk or treat event at the fairgrounds. As we passed, we saw hundreds of cars parked and happy little kids and parents walking around in costume. Usually, it would have given me joy to see so much fun and Halloween action. This time, I was horrified and though, oh no, a super spreader event right in our town! My attitude has changed. Relieving stress has not been easy. The most helpful strategy has been to limit watching frequent new reports. I still check the rates in the area but try to limit focus on it. We both are enjoying reading tremendous amounts of books. Thank goodness the library opened for book pick up. We also walk in local, state and national parks about 3 times a week. During the cooler spring months we played board games and cards together. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People in our community and the larger area have always been very friendly. We used to chat to strangers we met shopping or walking in parks. Everyone smiled and nodded or said a friendly word. With masks and the initial fear of anyone being contagious, people made wide berths around each other and didn't speak as they passed on a nature trail or in the supermarket. We did the same thing and were happy that everyone was being careful. It just seemed so odd and unfriendly. Now in October, it seems that people are more relaxed and will more frequently nod and say hello. Now the problem is not recognizing people with masks. In a small community there are many people you know on sight, but who are not your close friends. The masks have changed the number of people who great each other because they are not recognized. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 I am a trustee of a small rural library. We had to close and then partially reopen with restrictions. This has made a big impact on our community. The library is the hub of the town, an unofficial gathering place where neighbors see each other. We also offer internet service to the community, and many of our patrons come to library to use the computer or internet service. We have not been able to open for patrons to use this service. We have adjusted other services to meet health considerations and only offer book pick up. We are not offering browsing. We have many fewer patrons using the library. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 This month, I started working from home at a part time job I had previously done in an office. The job entails working with a team and I had to learn how to use my tablet with google teams. I also need to use my desk top at the same time for another program. It was difficult as I am not very technically advance, but it worked out better than I imagined. It felt great to contribute again and have something to focus on rather than covid 19. However, I miss the social aspect of seeing people in person and chatting. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I use it a lot more than I did before the pandemic. I use it to pass the time. I look at Facebook much more, play games and learned to facetime. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My 70th birthday was celebrated with a cake I made myself at home and just my husband and I were there. Numerous friends' birthdays were celebrated with just a card or phone call rather than dinner out together. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 My cat seems to want to spend much more time on my lap. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I noticed that my husband and I exhibited more patience with each other. We tried to make the most of the situation. My son volunteered to get our groceries so we could avoid public places. I had 4 people make and send me masks when they knew I need them! What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish we knew how long it would last and how Covid 19 is so deadly. I wish the nation was prepared to take protective measures and everyone was in agreement on the necessary steps to keep people safe and at the same time lessen the negative effect on the economy. If people could only be forewarned they could prepare in an organized and systematic way. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 They need to be aware that it will happen again. We were too complacent and comfortable with thinking our health care was advanced enough to prevent such a thing from happening here. Unless more is learned about Covid 19, it is obvious that the same measures were used 100 years ago; masks, isolation, social distancing, staying outdoors. So, for the next pandemic will the same measures be needed? I am still amazed that in 100 years since the last pandemic, we are still using the same tools to fight the disease. So, they need to be aware of the possibility and be ready to accept an emergency plan. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 The immediate future will change. I believe many people will be more aware of how easy it is to spread illness. And for awhile public places will continue to keep safeguards in place. However, over time, when a vaccine become available and treatments are discovered, people will forget and fall back to the old normal behavior. However, due to the economic instability we are facing, the new normal may be vastly different with fewer businesses, restaurants, entertainment areas. Will more people live in poverty due to lost savings and jobs? I believe the economic long term effect may last a long time.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 We have been following all protocols. But, we are getting tired of masks and not seeing friends and family. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 We see none of our friends or family, particularly now that the weather is colder. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Tired. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 How willing people have been to do what they need to do to get through this. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 N/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am working part from home and part at work. What is most difficult is when something I need is at home, when I am at work, and vice versa. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 N/a Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 birthdays have been rough. We have not been able to get together with family. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 My cats used to know they would get treats at 5:00 when I got home- they both sing “it’s 5:00 somewhere” all day long now If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 My friend just lost her husband to Covid and she has Covid, as well. I cannot go see her or hug her or cry together with her. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 It’s a virus. Not a political statement. All these people screaming about their “respiratory freedom” - what about the respiratory freedom of the 300,000+ Americans who have died? Just put the damn mask on. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 26 Date 12/17/2020 Location The location of the interview Saratoga Springs When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Early March. I have taken the virus seriously and remained diligent about staying safe the whole time. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I've worked nonstop since the pandemic hit, in order to keep the small business I work for running. Men don't tell me to smile as much because my mask covers half of my face. Also I am more aware of ableism as it's very clear most people don't care if the old, sick, or disabled are dying. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I'm feeling like I can't believe our government did NOTHING while hundreds of thousands of their citizens are dying. To relieve stress I try to practice gratitude for what I have. Or I sleep for 10 hours. Whatever works. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Most tourists and/or very affluent locals seem to think the virus can't touch them here, so they disregard our mask rules and they treat employees like garbage if they are asked to comply. I wish I could say this has surprised me, but they automatically get better healthcare simply by being wealthy, so the virus truly isn't as much of the threat to them and they are used to being treated like they're special. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 I'm not the owner but as one of the only managers I worked 35 hours a week when we were shut down. Two days a week I was entirely alone in the shop. It was the worst 3 months of my life and I hardly remember it because every day felt the same. We've adjusted things as needed going forward with reopening and again during the holidays. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Yes, apparently. I help manage a small business. We enforce our mask rule much to the dismay of those I previously mentioned. We sanitize constantly, and limit the number of people inside the building. That's all we can do really. I wash my hands as soon as I get home, change out of my work clothes, and wash my mask so it will be dry the next morning. I don't go anywhere I don't need to go, except for the occasion coffee shop where I get a to-go drink and tip 50%. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 God, I wish. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I have multiple roles at my company and I have also been working from home as well as in person. The challenges have more to do with my upstairs neighbors playing leapfrog/riverdancing in steel toed boots/running a fight club than anything tech related. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Thankfully, no. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 N/A How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I use them to further the reach of my company, so that we may have a strong online presence in case we get shut down again. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 I watched my best friend's wedding over Zoom, same with Thanksgiving, and this is the first year since I was born that I won't be going home for Christmas. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I wish :( What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I have been messaging friends out of the blue to check on them (I already did this but I've been doing it more now) and it seems to really make their day. There is a bit more of a discussion about UBI which is nice, but I doubt it will go anywhere because Americans are terrified of anything deemed "socialism" even if it means saving lives. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 N/A If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 N/A thank goodness What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I knew how selfish others truly were. I wish I had braced myself for how many people I would come to dislike after seeing that they don't care if immunocompromised people like me get sick and die if it means they can be maskless and walk around town getting wasted at bars and eating out at restaurants. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 It sucked mainly due to capitalism and the lack of any sort of structural support in place. People were told "go to work, but you can't have fun" so of course idiots disobeyed. They'd send retail folks and baristas and restaurant workers into the trenches so someone's business can survive, but not without human lives being forsaken. There is no safety net in place for millions of Americans who are now homeless after being evicted, who have to steal baby formula from stores in order to feed their children, who have gone to work sick because their employer doesn't give them sick days and who can't afford a doctor because they have no insurance. I dunno man it's pretty horrifying if you look at the big picture for even a second. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I don't have any faith that anything will change. People are so desperate to go back to how things were, they don't consider that for a lot of people, the way things were was awful. They'll go back out to bars and go back on vacations, spreading their germs wherever they please. Then there will be lots of people who remain at a distance, who don't share beverages with their family, who wave instead of shaking hands. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I'm still at a high risk of contracting the virus due to my autoimmune conditions, so the pandemic is something that won't just leave my mind immediately. I'm being extra cautious for myself and for those I love. I wish careless strangers had the same kind of respect for themselves and the people in their lives.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 73 Date 12/14/2020 Location The location of the interview Canajoharie, NY When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Middle of March 2020, traveling by plane from Atlanta GA to Wilmington NC, there were a few college students who were forced to leave campus. They were on our plane. They received a text message from the college and were not allowed to go back to their dorms so they had no belongings with them. I don't believe there has been a case reported from our town. However, I have become much more careful since that date in March when COVID-19 was just breaking out. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Most important and missed is socializing. Also, I'm a teacher so classroom interaction has been really affected. I miss the closeness with the students that now is so difficult to have. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am starting to get a bit depressed. But I try to stay positive and think that as bad as I have it, my life is so much easier than most. No money problems, no sickness, limitations on movement, but who cares. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I feel my community has been so innovative about how to deal with the limitations and still experience life's events, i.e. graduation, halloween, holidays. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 No I am not Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I don't know if teachers are considered essential employees, but I do substitute teach when called. I told my school that after the first day I was coming in if I didn't feel safe I wouldn't be returning. But, I feel that they are doing a wonderful job and much impressed by the cooperation of all the students, especially the youngest. They just seem to roll with the flow. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No I was not laid off or furloughed Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 No I am not working from home. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 No thank goodness, I don't have that responsibility. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 No I am not a student How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Nothing more than usual. I keep in contact with friends and family through phone calls and text. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Yes, we were going to celebrate Christmas eve in NY City with a dinner at a restaurant my husband has always wanted to go to and also an 1.5 hour horse and carriage ride throughout the city to see the tree and Central Park, and Christmas Day mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral. That's been put on hold, however, due to the city going into another lockdown. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Yes, I have two wonderful doggies. They give me much pleasure and comfort What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Our school always provides food and gifts to village families i need during the holidays and I feel proud that we are continuing to do that, even more so. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Thankfully, I do not know anyone that has tested positive. My daughter's significant other had to quarantine because she had come into contact with someone that tested positive. She tested negative but had antibodies. Last March for about 2 weeks she was feeling unwell and she probably had COVID during that time but didn't realize it. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 Thankful that I have not lost anyone during this time. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How much the present administration in Washington would downplay the dangers. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 That with ignorance comes panic. The opposite of what we were told. Always listen to the science and the experts, rather than those who are unknowledgeable and are only interested in their own reputation. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think we've learned many ways to stay safer. It was always a good idea, I think, to wash hands, stay a little away from those we encounter, similar to what many do in Asian countries for years. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Just my undying appreciation to all those essential workers who have kept me and my family safe and who have worked on the frontlines, putting themselves and their families in danger, all these long months.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 It was at first a little joke to me and my friends. Then, reality of it all hit me and my friends. It has impacted so much between families and friends that it hurts not to see them. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like right now without Covid-19. But I guess we'll never know. We don't know if it will get better or not. But I just want to look upon all this rain to find a rainbow. Maybe some day we all will cross it and meet again. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Before the rest of the world didn't matter to me. No offense. But all I could think about was me and my friends. No bully could hurt me because I had my friends. They were my life. Yet now they just float away like balloons that accidentally get let go of. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I fill crappy but in a way we all do. I personally still haven't found out a way to relieve my stress. Well, I am a little bit of a stress case. So don't mind me. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Nothing really. We all still talk when we see each other on street. I just think people are annoyed the masks and Covid that they don't want to control their lives. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 No. But maybe one day if that is my belonging. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am a worker just for school though and the homework is annoying by the way. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No they couldn't lay off school. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes. I am all remote and let me just say it is so hard. My challenges is not getting as much help from teachers. So I guess I'll be ready for college assignments. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes. Myself I have to handle myself. Which is really hard. Including when I make coffee. I really need to control myself. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 We do it online. It can become harder each day. We do Hybrid so in and out of school. I am all remote. But the pro's are I get to sleep sometimes during class because they don't have work for me. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I have been using it for art and positivism for myself. Also setting all life goals. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 No not really but it still has taken away some major opportunities. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 No. But I would love a pug. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 More confidence and positivity toward my body. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 No. But if I did I would fight as hard as I could. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 I didn't but I would honor their presence. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That it was gonna be this hard. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 That even through the darkest a light will shine through. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 It will be with more positivity and better life choices. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 No. But thx for this box anyway.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Early March. I became more concerned quickly even though we had little impact here at first. My husband’s grandmother had told us stories of the 1918-20 epidemic in Fort Edward which rolled very vividly back to me. These stories were told to us 50+ years ago. I was astonished at how clearly I remembered her words. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I don’t see my friends and, now, don’t see other family members. We had Thanksgiving alone and will do so for Christmas How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Luckily, I like my husband and we have very similar views. I am an avid reader, knitter and sewist, so I have much to occupy my time. We talk often about how much easier our lives are than many others around us. Being grateful helps so much. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I am astonished at how many people are so blasé about this. Even now, 9 months into this, this area has not been heavily impacted, so I guess it’s easy. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 No Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 No Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 N/A Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 No If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 N/A How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Just to keep up on news and stay in touch with family and friends Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Thanksgiving and Christmas, my daughter’s 50th birthday party Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We lost both our cat and our dog during this, so that part was extremely hard. I actually don’t think the pandemic had anything to do with their loss. They were both old and sick. We miss them terribly. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 N/A If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 N/A What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!!! How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Not sure Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Doing this has helped me sort out my feelings. That is always good.

Question 2 More isolated. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am tired. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People are wearing masks, everywhere. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 No. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 No. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 NO. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 No. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 I have adult children living in my home as a result of the hurricane 2 years ago. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 N/A How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 As usual.

How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 My belief is that it was handled badly and everything became 'Covid' -- no deaths from flu, no common colds, no deaths from old age and chronic diseases. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I'm waiting to see how it changes after mid-January.

Question 2 As a teacher, we currently have a shortened schedule, we wear masks when we cannot socially distance, and we have smaller class sizes. Instruction has slowed and work is completely different. I also found love during this craziness. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 I was a student in the spring. I completed my studies online and graduated with my MSEd in May 2020. We had our own graduation ceremony with masks and social distancing (bending campus rules a bit) Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Yes.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Early February, I noticed the virus starting to spread. I'm noticing people becoming complacent about the virus. Many people would like to be infected so they can return to their old routines. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 We are staying much closer to home, only ordering take-out once per month. Grocery shopping has been reduced to twice per month. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Staying positive, looking for small things to focus on. We are also making new traditions for Thanksgiving. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Most people are more caring and compassionate than before. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 We had to close for roughly 3 months. We are currently operating on a limited schedule, hoping not to have to close down again. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Yes, I am an essential employee. I am the director of a non-profit agency, so I am in charge of ordering supplies, programming, etc. We have installed barriers around the office area, enforce mask wearing, hand sanitizing, etc. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No, I was never laid off. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I continued to come into the office. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes, I have one child at home. She is being homeschooled because of the internet based structure of her school district. We have very unreliable internet and it was next to impossible to log on for the classes. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 Not a student How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Facebook has been a wonderful connection with many friends, family and coworkers. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We have had to cancel 2 major vacations. We have yet to reschedule them. A family wedding and multiple graduation parties were also cancelled. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Yes, we have many pets. We did adopt our newest dog during the pandemic. They are all very calming and bring joy to the household. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I'm part of a group trying to aid the families that have lost their jobs during the pandemic. We are gathering supplies for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Not at this time. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I would have known how long this was going to last. I was anticipating 2 - 3 months, not the entire year. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I hope that everyone realizes how kind most people were. Also, be prepared to see people walking down the streets, in stores, etc. in masks. It's hard to prepare for that. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 The new normal will have people being much more guarded and less personable. I don't think there will be as much conversation with strangers as before. The plastic barriers in stores and restaurants will remain in place. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 When the governor started shutting down stores and deciding which businesses were essential I realized this was going to be big. My reaction changed because at the beginning I thought everyone was over reacting and then I realized it was world wide and could be quite serious. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My own life isn't that different compared with other people. Except for having to wear a mask everywhere, hand sanitize, log my temp and location all the time. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Im feeling ok although my dad has recently been diagnosed with lung disease and I'm afraid for him. To relieve stress I just stay home as much as possible. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Business have shortened their hours and most events have been canceled or postponed. Im surprised at the number of people not having funerals. That one is hard. I didn't realize how much I needed that to be able to say goodbye to people. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 N/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I have informal in home day care for my own grand child and one friend. My daughter and our friend are essential workers and if I hadn't been willing to watch their daughters they would have had to quit their jobs. And they would have really struggled financially. At home, we wash all the time and we don't go in public. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I work at a local library and was given paid leave for the first 3 months. Then when things started to open back up, we offered curb side service and eventually limited inside service. Our insurance isn't through me. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Just the limits on leaving the house are an adjustment. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 2 preschoolers and 1 school age who goes full time so it's not too bad. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 Im taking college classes online but I was taking them online anyway. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 At home like normal. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My daughter's graduation from an ivy league college for her graduate degree was cancelled and so was any chance for a party. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 No What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I got to have my college daughter's home for 3 months when I didn't expect to. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 No If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 Visiting the cemetery after. Writing condolences on the funeral home website. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That everyone would buy all the toilet paper. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Essentials stocked up at home. Cultivate interests in things you can do without leaving your house. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think at the very least, food service people will continue to be masked and gloved. I think most people will be more careful about hand cleanliness.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 When I saw what was happening in Italy last year when they were running out of hospital space. It became a lot more easier to understand why my mother wasn’t letting me go into town. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I don’t talk to people as often, I go on the internet a lot more and I’m paying a lot more attention to politics. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Stressed and worried for the state of our country and our democracy. I listen to music and take walks. I also like to watch comfort streamers. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 There are so many more people than I thought that just decide to ignore science. There are so many people in my community who just believe that this isn’t a problem. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 In March school was canceled and we went entirely virtual. I did all my work and I did well until the end of the year but I know many of my classmates did not. We went back to school full in person unlike a lot of other schools and even with the recent rise in cases we have only had to go online for two weeks once. I think that we will close down soon with the recent outbreak. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I am using it to learn so much more about our world and became radicalized politically through social media. I use it to talk with like minded people and debate those who want to debate. It has helped me a lot with debate skills in the classroom. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 I was on quarantine when my uncle’s wedding happened so we had to watch it virtually and I was really sad about that. For Christmas we stayed home because the people we were going to spend Christmas with got COVID. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have two cats that we got a few years ago. They crawl into my lap when I’m having a bad day and they make me a lot happier. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 The protests all throughout the pandemic. I supported the BLM protests as much as I could. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 One of my friends and a couple of other people I know got it. They were really sick but they weren’t hospitalized and it wasn’t good. One of them had to quarantine from the rest of her family because she was the only positive case in the house so they couldn’t see her. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I knew how to look up information better and how to fact check more easily because of all of the misinformation being spread. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 That this pandemic is raging on in America because of incompetent leaders and an inability to listen to science. Listen to the scientists, help others, and learn to think for yourself.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 62 Date 01/04/2021 Location The location of the interview Jay NY/ Columbia NJ When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 4/5/20 I left my hospice RN position that I loved because the company was ill prepared to provide safety to its employees. If anything I feel although a difficult decision to leave, it was the right one. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Simpler and happier. My family to of 4 remain together observing continued social restrictions. Spending less, enjoying lack of outside commitments. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel well, not stressed unless I have to go out & about which I do at a minimum What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 There is a community Facebook in my NJ hometown which is quite negative, intolerant and nasty towards one another. There is a political bent that seems to influence every post. I no longer participate. I am surprised that rather than people being supportive of one another, we have turned against each other. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 N/A Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I was an essential worker as a RN. I felt very guilty leaving the front lines in order to protect myself and my family. This was not what I wanted to do or have done in the past. As a critical care nurse I would prefer the front lines as I did in 9/11 as a hospice RN I could have offered comfort to those whose families were not allowed to visit. My family begged me to quit as I am 62 and my husband has cancer. It was very difficult to adjust to initially. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 N/A Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 N/A Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes my son is a senior in high school doing remote learning. My daughter graduated from grad school & came back home, unemployed. I love having them here. We are still getting along well. A blessing out of a horrible pandemic. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 N/A How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 We zoomed cocktails every weekend initially. Now less so. I use the internet for information on multiple topics. Not a big fan of social media in general. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We simplified and celebrated various milestones with just us 4, outside when weather permitted. It's been lovely, I dont miss the broader social obligations. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We gave 4 cats who have benefitted from more love, attention and catnip What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Appreciation of what's not that important after all, simpler goals, living within our means yding what we have. Less obligations, stress and deadlines. Looking out my window more often for longer periods of time. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I lost co workers ( nurses & doctors) a dear friends husband died. Otherwise we remain home when we can and get tested when we have been exposed to larger gatherings of family members. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 I am grateful that my 89 year old mom died a year ago and was not exposed to all this. I miss her dearly but the stress and anxiety of being her care giver under these circumstances would have very difficult. I would had to have moved in with her, and left my family. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How stupid people are. I had no idea our population was so ignorant, hateful and quick to forfeit our society. I appreciate differences of opinion and respect that. This is much more than that. We need to address the deep hurts and dissatisfactions that exists in our nation in order for our democracy to exist for each one of us. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Who leads our country is very important. Left or right is less important than character, intelligence and empathy. Make change in local government, our Congress & Senate. The president needs to be a person of outstanding abilities. Keep life simpler, reflect on what's really important. Like yourself Be in a position of relying on yourself, not others. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Unfortunately I dont think the lessons learned will be long lived. Where we could alter our behaviors for the better I fear we will be quick to fall back to old ways that are less beneficial to ourselves, our community our world at large. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March 2020. It became very real once it arrived locally. Supermarket shelves were empty and it was apparent sonething epic was happening. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 So much has changed. So many things have been cancelled. Covid rules have permeated into all aspects of daily life. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Its all very sad about the huge loss of life, the country not being united, and people being isolated. I deal with stress by working on art/craft projects solo or with family. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Changes noted in stores about way you shop. People are all wearing masks. Appreciate town having mask giveaways. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 Not a business owner but I sure feel bad for their struggles. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am retired but truly am in awe of all essential workers! We would be in dire straits without them! Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 No Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes, 6 yr old granddaughter. Online learning was a huge challenge. She hated it. Was not motivated. Missed her friends. She is in school now using precautions and driving her to school and picking her up. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Used technology more than ever with Zoom, Messenger, Duo, Facetime, utube, etc... Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Yes, no 65th birthday tea party. Had all my women friends send me self photos holding a tea cup which i will assemble into a collage. Brother passed away in florida. Unable to travel. Not attending a wedding out of state. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 No, thought about adopting if school did not reopen. But it did. Will consider in future. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Care about others and wear masks/social distance. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes, I know of 6 people who got it but not seriously. The 7th person I knew about but not personally died from covid. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 Lost a brother and a dear friend! Think of them alot, pray often and light special candle in their honor during holiday. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I knew how it would affect our lives in so many ways. That maybe i could have been better prepared. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Took us by surprise. We were not prepared. Need to pay attention, follow the guidelines, watch out for each other. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 We will be much more aware of whats going on in the world and how we are all connected. How essential workers pulled us through. I hope the new normal will give us all a greater appreciation of all the things we took for granted! Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 35 Date 12/22/2020 Location The location of the interview Saratoga Springs, NY When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 My husband is a software engineer who designs programs that track infectious diseases for Harvard University and Brigham and Women's Hospital. We started to become concerned the beginning of February and urged family and friends to try to prepare themselves for the likely hood that the US would mirror what was happening in other countries. We decided to pull our son from his nursery school program at the YMCA the beginning of March, weeks before the Y made the decision to close their doors. It was a difficult discussion to have with the staff, as many did not believe that we would have an explosion of case numbers here and it made us seem like we are being premature. Parents in our playgroups made comments that we were overreacting, those comments were hurtful and at times made me question my choices. As cases began to climb we were thankful that we already had the necessary supplies in place. We weren't raised in Saratoga , I grew up on Long Island outside of NYC and my husband is originally from Florida. We felt very alone and isolated. I was disappointed in the federal governments response to the pandemic, a realization that made me more anxious. At 34 years old, long married and with my own child, I found myself crying for my parents, fearful I would not have the chance to see them again. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 It is more isolated, we are more thoughtful about how we engage with the public. We have not eaten in a restaurant since Chowder fest last year. We haven't taken our son into a store since last March. But it's not a bad thing. This exeperince has enabled us to revulatue what is important to us and what we value. It's made us realize how much of our entertainment was coming from eating out and spending money on unnecessary things. We have made some really positive changes as a family. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I was very anxious the first 2 months. I would tremble and find myself walking around as if I was in a fog. I was just waiting for bad news everyday. In May we bought a 1980's old town canoe off of marketplace and we literally took it out almost daily from May-Oct. I take my son on long walks and nature adventures no matter the weather. I have tried to stay focused and organized. We are luckier than most people, we don't have to work out of the house. We try to be thankful of the fact that we can keep a small bubble. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I've noticed that people in Saratoga and NY as a whole are much more respectful of social distancing and mask use. We've had countless family members test positive in other states, but no one in our immediate family in NY has tested positive. I was surprised to see how quickly everyone went back to Sunday brunches and children's birthday parties. We have family in the hospitality industry and they felt very over looked. They were not very excited to get back to a minimum wage job that offered no health insurance and laughable PPE so that they could serve college students their brunch. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 We are not business owners but my father owns a property management company. He paid his employees for 2 months and then slowly brought them back. He split shifts up so workers would be working alone. He asked that they not commute to work or ride in work vehicles together. My father exhausted a large portion of his savings to pay his workers but he said he would do it again. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 We have a toddler who turned 3 over the summer. I was worried he would be affected when we pulled him out of school last spring or when we didn't send him to school this year, but children are amazingly adaptable things. We are embracing not being overscheduled for once. He is still extremely social and I have to constantly remind him to keep distance because he just wants to chat with anyone he sees. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I hate social media but wound up bringing Instagram back. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 The biggest thing is we put off trying for our second child. It just didn't seem like a good time to purposely expand our family. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I think as a whole, NYers really came together. We wanted to keep our neighbors and community members healthy. We banded together with donating items to food pantries. I saw the elementary school buses come everyday for months, delivering lunches to local children. The garbage trucks proudly had rainbows painted on their sides. I noticed more people outside, using the local trail systems. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 My husbands mother, step father, Step mother, Father and brother all contracted COVID (residents of NY and Florida). All had mild symptoms and recovered. My best friend of 20+ years tested positive in April. She had a low grade fever, sore throat and lethargy for over 2 weeks (making it very difficult as a single mom to care for her 2 young children). My parent's neighbor, two of my great uncles and a previous coworkers 13 year old daughter all lost their battle with COVID this year. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 My grandfather lost 2 of his brothers this summer to COVID. They are hoping to do a memorial service in SC next summer. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That this would go on much longer than I thought. That people can be incredibly selfish and willfully uneducated, but that people can also be incredibly selfless. That I would reach out to people I haven't spoken to in years because we were all craving connections. How glad I would be that we decided to make Saratoga Springs our home, even though not living near family has been hard. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Trust Science. Demand change. Don't get all your entertainment from going out to eat or shopping in stores, because when it shuts down you will be lost. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I'm not sure about everyone else, but for my family we are going to continue forward with our new lifestyle changes. Valuing time spent together, outdoors. I've lived here for 7 years and I've never hikes or paddled more of this area than I did this year. My son wakes up now and asks for his daily hike. I'm in no rush to get back to crowded places or mindless socializing. I just want to spend time with my close family and friends, nothing else is important.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March 2020, we went to remote work and a total community shutdown. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I do not leave my house unless I need to go to work, get groceries or to visit a doctor. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am okay, I take long walks with my dog and I sew alot. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I have noticed less traffic on the roads and less people in stores. I am surprised by the number of people who don't keep their distance or who don't wear masks and are rude. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 No Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I work for schools. We are required to take our temperature every day and fill out a form saying we don't have covid . We have hand sanitizer available and our office is super cleaned every day. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I was for 3 months. It was tough getting organized and back on a schedule. Lots of interference from family members. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 I had adult children back home for 3 months. It was tough, because they are grown up and have thier own rules and routines. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 No How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I use the internet to stay informed and research the unknown. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Yes, 4 weddings were cancelled. We celebrated birthdays, an annversary and bitrh of a grand child very quietly and socially distant with immediate family only. There were only 5 of us. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have a dog. He is very loving and affectionate. We go on walks every day and he is such a stress relief. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I noticed how giving people were and how strangers stepped up to help out those in need.

USA When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 It seems that I encountered a very similar situation to COVID-19, in the year 2000. I was on a military training assignment, and became very ill. During this pandemic, when I heard about people passing away, my feelings of love and prayers reach out to their families. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am faced to live alone once again, because my older brother has dementia and I need help keeping him safe. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am keeping a positive outlook. I am working towards a Bachelor's Degree. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I see people really looking out for each other in my neighborhood, providing food, and words of encouragement amongst themselves. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 Due to the operations on both of my feet. I've had time to resume my studies. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I use the internet for school research and religious studies. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Yes, I miss not going to our masjid for Friday prayer and during the month of Ramadan! Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I am a plant parent. I have several house plants. I enjoy taking care of them What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 People are caring about their neighbors and we want to erase the negative conditions in this world. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I knew some people who survived COVID-19. They feel that GOD had given them a second chance in this world. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How strong the people in the world are, and not take anything for granted. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I want them to know that they should keep a level head at all times. They should have a list of emergency supplies. The Believers of GOD, should hold firmly on to their Faith. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 We have to isolate ourselves physically but not emotionally. We have to continue to wear our masks. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I want to encourage people to think positively at all times. That positive thinking concept has to be practiced at all times!!!

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I believe it happened in March when I became sick and the doctors could not tell me what was wrong with me. As the pandemic hit hard in NYC first and hearing the sirens non-stop all day and night I began to experience sleepless nights. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am working more from home and enjoying it. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am feeling alive and refreshed. I purchased a pair of rollerskates and enjoying life. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 The lines for the grocery stores have diminished while the food pantry lines have increased. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 No Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 At home, I am leaving my windows cracked and using my disinfected to clean my apartment door. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 not applicable Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes, just to remember to stand up after sitting for 90 minutes to alleviate the stress on my back. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes, young adults, and we are fine. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 not applicable How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Yes Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Graduation celebration virtual event. vacations postponed until summer 2021. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 not applicable What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I am studying to become a life coach so my perspective on life has changed tremendously and I see the beauty in chaos. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes, I had several family members contract COVID-19 and my god-sister lost her brother. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 Last August we had an outdoor Barbeque. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How prepared our government was to handle a pandemic? What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Hold elected officials accountable. Get involved in politics on the local level. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 If history repeats itself like the Spanish Flu of 1918 entered the roaring 20's, and people began living a carefree life, we hit a depression. I believe the new normal will consist of the loss of corporate America and many industries. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March 19, 2020 How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 More peaceful, less (significantly) commuting stress, able to count my gratitude daily. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Tired, anxious, and waiting for something (unknown). Walking, sometimes 20+ miles a week, avoiding sugar, cooking healthier foods (and grateful I can do so). What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Here, political differences are exacerbated. COVID mask compliance seems political, not general health. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 No, fortunately. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 No, again fortunately. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No, with gratitude Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes. I created a home office and count on Internet connectivity. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 No. They are all grown and on their own If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 No. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Much more often. And have to focus on finding heart warming anecdotes of people doing the ethical thing and caring for each other. Always looking for humor. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 No family gatherings. We email daily or zoom periodically. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Yes. 2 cats including a recent 14 year old cat rescue. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Walking with an acquaintance has turned into our ‘therapy’ walks. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Not a direct contact. My husband just retired from the Fire Department and his first responder experiences really made me aware of how poorly the elderly are cared for in this country (not all, just at for-profit nursing homes). If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 Not applicable but I read many accounts of the lack of gatherings to support grief and memory. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How difficult it was going to be to help front line employees. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 That it exposed a huge wealth gap and broken social support system in America that could be fixed. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I hope climate change will drive a cleaner travel modality. I hope new social structures will arise to care for people. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 36 Date 01/24/2021 Location The location of the interview Gainesville, GA When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 In March my workplace cancelled all events and then, within a couple of days, sent all staff home. We were home for two months. Fortunately, though my job is primarily customer service, we were given work to do at home and continued to be paid. Since May, we have been open for curbside only service on three different occasions and open normally but with distancing and mask requirements in between those times. I was very concerned when it showed up in our area, there was still so much unknown. And if anything has changed, I’m probably more concerned now. I know so many people who have had it or their family members have. Our hospital is a regional hub and has been overcrowded and brought in morgue trucks. My family and I have been as careful as possible, making some concessions to maintain our mental health. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 The only places I go regularly are work and home. I had been ordering groceries for pick up, but after too much frustration with not getting what I needed, I have returned to shopping in the store. Occasionally, I will go inside other businesses, but only quickly and very early in the morning. I rarely see family unless we can be outside. I almost never see friends. I am intentionally reaching out to people more by phone or messaging and have started sending and receiving a lot more personal mail - cards and gifts for holidays or no reason. I had never been one to watch TV, but I’ve found myself unable to focus to do much of anything else, like reading or more involved hobbies. I’ve always enjoyed nature, but haven’t been able to spend a lot of time outdoors. When the weather is good now, I’m likely outside and I’ve taken pictures of everything - when different flowers bloom, the leaves on the trees changing - and have noticed a lot of things I’d never seen before. And I have a lot more freckles. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Emotionally, this has been a real roller coaster. Initially, being sent home, I was too anxious to do anything much. After we returned to work, being around those coworkers and customers felt like my saving grace. Now, in winter, and after months of this, I’d rather be home. I think I’ve acclimated to the boredom. I have taken an antidepressant for years and going into the pandemic I’d managed well on the lowest dose for probably a year and a half. I’m now taking triple that amount and am not sure it’s settled yet. I began feeling so much overwhelming loneliness and crying multiple times a day, sometimes on the way to work or on the way home. I am having telemedicine appointments with a therapist. I’m keeping in contact with people any way I can, but have noticed that they don’t seem to be able to engage as much, probably because of their own stress. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I’ve been surprised to hear from people I haven’t talked to in years, almost like making amends. Reconnecting is not a bad thing, but there’s a feeling of urgency about it that is unsettling and seems fear motivated. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I think you could say I’m a second tier essential worker. We open in some capacity of it is at all possible. My workplace has very strict guidelines in place for customers and staff. Masks are required and that is enforced. If a coworker tests positive, the location closes and everyone quarantines. A negative test is required to return to work. We wear gloves when handling materials and clean all work surfaces in between staff members switching spaces. We have an air filter and plexiglass for one particularly enclosed space and are leaving the doors to the building wide open to increase fresh air. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I’m working from home as needed. I don’t enjoy it abs find it very difficult to focus and be productive. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I’m using the internet A LOT for social connection and entertainment. Have subscribed to one streaming platform and been gifted two others - books and movies/ shows. I’ve always listened to podcasts, too. I spend what would usually be considered way too much time on social media, but I live alone and that’s one of my main sources of connection. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Yes, I have a pet rabbit and not being totally alone at home has been very valuable to me. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Spending so much more time in nature, observing and appreciating my surroundings. I live in a rural area. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I don think there’s anything you could have told me about this that would have adequately prepared me. I’m still adjusting after 10 months. And I say this as a person who was aware that it was likely another pandemic would happen sometime. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I hope they don’t forget the lessons we’ve hopefully learned: quick and thorough action in the beginning could have saved so many lives, not to mention the economic and mental health tolls. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think that crowds won’t be popular places to be for a long time. Our personal space may differ from before. And I’m not sure that we will smile as much or make facial expressions because we’ve gotten used to wearing masks. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Everyone who has adhered to the health guidelines regarding masks and tried to protect their own health and be courteous to others has been aghast at the people who have refused to believe it was necessary to participate. 10 months in a I still see multiple people at the grocery store, which says on the door it requires masks, not wearing them at all. To me, there are times when government has to step in and enforce regulations that are in everyone’s best interest and I think we could have taken mask mandates a lot farther, a lot sooner and saved a lot of lives. Of course, that probably would’ve been proof to the people who didn’t believe it was necessary that the whole thing wasn’t a big deal in the first place.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 64 Date 01/24/2021 Location The location of the interview Fort Wayne, IN When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Late January, 2020 The interval between realizing this could be disastrous and the first case in Ft Wayne was like waiting for a storm to arrive. I grew up on the edge of the Great Plains, and we'd watch the big thunderstorms work their way towards us. There was nothing anyone could do, except head for shelter and wait. Once it arrived, there was nothing to do but wait it out – through the lightning, thunder, hail, gale-force winds, tornado. The time between January and the first case was quiet rather than suspenseful. And all I could think of was "How the hell can everyone pretend this isn't a storm"? How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am SO isolated. I seldom meet coworkers. My job (teaching) has completely changed. I would never have become a teacher, if this is what it is like. I have had extremely little contact with people, and I have seen one (1) friend in the past 8 months, when I ran into her in a store. I have put less than 5,000 miles on my car since March, 2020. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel like crap. There is no relief from the stress. I can handle physical isolation. I struggle with the realization that I am so very, very different than the people in my area. I don't WANT to be around people who so deliberately close their eyes to reality. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I am astonished that the people in my area have totally blown the pandemic off. The previous 3 years had revealed the true nature of friends. The past 12 months have totally exposed them. By profession, personality and my Faith (Quaker), I value truth above all else. I knew that not everyone felt the same way. I was naive to not realize its rarity. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 Not a business owner. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Not considered an essential employee, but required to continue working. I teach college courses. We shut down in late March, and reopened in August. Workplace precautions are half-assed. Classrooms were reconfigured to allow social distancing, which many teachers practiced – but not all. Hallways were labeled for one-way traffic and building entrances were labeled either in or out (resulting in one floor having no "legal" exit). None of the precautions are enforced, and all can be very easily bypassed. I am the only occupant of my home. No precautions were added. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 Not laid off or furloughed. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I am working both at home and at my workplace. I've had upgrade my computer and add a few items of technology (webcam, headset, and such). Teaching over the Internet is COMPLETELY different than teaching in person. I've had to redesign almost everything. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 No children, thank God. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 Not a student, but a teacher. Yes, I expect to be back on campus in Fall 2021. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 A LOT. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Postpone, and cancel. Some have been rescheduled for after the pandemic. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 No animals. No pets. I have very seriously considered it, though. The problem is that once this is over, I don't think could take adequate care of them. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Whew... tough one. I've supported a few friends, both emotionally and financially. And I gave most of my COVID relief check to the Biden campaign, because the previous administration wasn't going anything to help. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes, several. All I could do is watch, and wait. Most were not hospitalized; some were. POWERLESSNESS added to isolation. Not good. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 Yes. Toasted their memories. Quiet, one-person remembrances. Ongoing mourning. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How pigheaded and selfish people were going to be. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 It could have been worse, but it should have been better. We screwed up A LOT. We were/are lucky it isn't as deadly as we originally thought. While the house was burning, powerful people said everything was under control, it was going away, it'd be gone by Memorial day. There have been many people who have gone above and beyond, at great personal sacrifice. They have been the best of us, more-so because they have been abused and overused. How to prepare? Don't let your guard down. We WERE prepared... in 2015. And most of all: this will happen again. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Some of us will change, and be more cautious. For about 5 years. A lot of people want to forget, and a lot already pretend it isn't happening. I think the biggest change will be less trust in other people. We'll trust or mistrust the government about as much as before, but not each other. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 We're not out of the woods, not by a long shot. With luck, this will be largely wound down by September. We are in a race with Nature. Viruses evolve. As we get the strains around us under control, those strains that are resistant to our vaccines and treatments will thrive. Can we knock this down before a super-coronavirus appears? Stay tuned... Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 68 Date 01/18/2021 Location The location of the interview Bedford, England When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I suppose when I read about it in the news. I was reassured by the low percentage death rate but didn't really have any idea of what the effects on life might be. I was apprehensive as I saw reported cases moving closer and closer to where I live but felt sure that if we all followed the advice from experts it would be OK. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 In some ways not too different: I was already semi-housebound with chronic fatigue and arthritis, but was expecting to have a hip replacement shortly, which would have made a great difference. Unfortunately the operation was postponed at the last minute in March 2020 for medical reasons (I was found to have anaemia) and because of the pandemic I have still not been able to have it and nor have I been able to have the increasing pain and stiffness in my knees and shoulders - the latter exacerbated by having to use crutches - investigated or treated. So I am even more disabled than I was before - I can now no longer drive a car, and find even the mobility scooter difficult - and because of lockdowns am unable to have visitors or get help at home. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Trapped and lonely. Very worried about the long-term effects of being unable to exercise, and afraid that muscle atrophy might prevent surgery. Depressed by the state of the house and the garden. I read escapist fiction or history (luckily I have a lot of books) and spend a lot of time on my computer, mostly doing puzzles or on Facebook. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I haven't been out enough to notice much. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 No Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 No, I'm retired Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 No Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 No If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 N/A How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Facebook has been my lifeline - pretty much the only contact I've had with friends and family. Churchservices.tv has also been a great help, streaming live church services pretty much throughout the day - I've been able to get to church more often online than I had been able to physically. We've had a few family Zoom gatherings and a couple of other groups I belong to have had them as well. I don't know what I'd have done without the Internet. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My niece's wedding last July was postponed for a year - we just hope it will be able to go ahead this coming July. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 No What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 While it lasted, the 'Clap for Carers' initiative* was an inspiring thing to take part in, which did enhance community feeling. But it wasn't something that could be kept up forever and the attempt to revive it this month wasn't a good idea. *Here in Britain we would go out at a certain time every Thursday evening for a few weeks and give a round of applause for health service workers to thank and encourage them. Children drew pictures of rainbows for the same reason and put them up in the front windows of their homes. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Not me or anybody close to me. But somebody I used to work with died of it - he was only 54 - and another person I knew slightly from work had it very seriously and has lost her hands and feet to sepsis because of it. I have heard of a couple of friends who tested positive but had no ill-effects, but otherwise have been quite surprised that nobody I know seems to have had it. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 A couple of friends have died and I was able to go to their funerals online - I probably wouldn't have been able to go physically anyway, but it was very sad to see such sparse, meagre rites for people who should have had packed chapels and hearty singing. I felt very sorry for their families. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I don't think foreknowledge would have helped me personally What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 More than ever people need to know how to identify reliable sources of information! The sheer quantity of hoaxes, rumours, quackery and conspiracy theories flying around cyberspace has undoubtedly cost lives and they cannot be suppressed at source. The only way to combat them is by education. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think I'll wait and see. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I think the biggest confusion among the public has been between what measures are necessary to protect oneself as an individual and those designed to hinder the spread of infection among the population at large. Too many are thinking "I'm young, I'm safe enough" or "If it's safe to go and buy food it's safe to go and drink beer" and breaking the rules because they haven't understood this. People in authority need to get this across. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Date 01/14/2021 When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 The impact of COVID-19 first truly occurred to me in early March 2020. We had plans to travel to Long Island as our son was competing in the NYSPHSAA Boys Swimming & Diving Championships. Shortly before that, there was an outbreak in New Rochelle and suddenly the risk of COVID-19 seemed much more real. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 It varies and some days are worse than others. My main way to relieve stress is by spending time in nature. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People seem to be much more reserved and less willing to smile when you see them in public spaces. However, I've also seen a great deal of generosity and many people helping each other through these challenging times. What has surprised me most is seeing people on social media who are anti-maskers and making nasty statements about those who are being cautious. I can't begin to understand it. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 No Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am a librarian. As soon as we returned to the office after NY paused, we implemented daily sanitizing schedules, required masks, limited the number of people that could be in shared areas, developed a quarantine process for library materials, and initiated a daily screening questionnaire. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I worked from home for a few months. It was very challenging to manage my work tasks and support my son with remote learning. I remember one day when I had a virtual meeting running on a laptop and had a session with school on an iPad at the same time. I was moving back and forth between the two and I think both parties wondered what was wrong with me that day. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes. One son was in college during part of this pandemic and the other one was at home the entire time. I think that both of them adjusted to the changes much better than I expected. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I've been sharing information and resources through my social media accounts at work. I've been connecting with friends and family through FaceTime and the video chat feature through Messenger. I also took a virtual Bob Ross painting class. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Both of my sons graduated in 2020. After working so hard all of these years, they could not celebrate with our family and friends. For one son, they decided to postpone the ceremony. However, for my other son they had an outdoor ceremony and only immediate family members were allowed to attend. I had already ordered the party supplies and they are sitting in our basement... Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have our wonderful dog, Molly. She definitely brightens each day and provides comfort when we need it. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I donated to a local group that collects money that is given to area waitstaff. I've noticed so many efforts by people to be supportive. Facebook groups such as 518 Rainbow Hunt group and COVID 19 North Country Neighbors Helping Neighbors are spreading positivity every single day! Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 My husband's uncle contracted COVID. He lived in Texas with no family living nearby. The hospital sent him home with oxygen and ended up passing away due to complications of the virus. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 There was a funeral service for my husband's uncle. It was delayed, but the family was eventually able to have one. He had always said that he wanted the women at his funeral service to wear hats, so many of us did. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I had known that I would not be able to spend time with loved ones for so long. I would have taken advantage of every spare minute to be with them and get extra hugs. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I want them to know how important it is for to wear masks and social distance. I want them to think about protecting others, especially those who are most vulnerable to illnesses. I want them to realize that if they live in an area that is not severely impacted, they need to stay vigilant or things will take a turn for the worse. I would also recommend that they buy toilet paper before the shelves are empty. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Although many people are tired of virtual meetings and activities, I think that this will be a more common option for events in the future. I also hope that people will appreciate things that they previously took for granted. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I would like to share some memories from a Facebook post that I wrote early in the pandemic. I had seen people recommending that we journal about our experiences, so I jotted down a few of my highlights from March. I mentioned the time that I went to the liquor store and when the clerk asked how he could help me, I asked if he had any toilet paper for sale. He laughed. I also wrote about the time that I heard the North Country Co-Op actually had toilet paper in stock and how this was such exciting news. I walked there on my break and they were actually letting people buy two packages! It was bamboo toilet paper. Interesting. The worst part was the fact that I forgot to bring a reusable bag and had to walk through town carrying a package of toilet paper. I was actually clutching it in case anyone tried to steal it... Finally, I mentioned that while my heart ached for what everyone was going through, I saw so many examples of people coming together to help each other. I wrote that there is more good in the world than I ever believed possible. I closed with "Sending sanitized hugs your way..."

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 65 Date 01/14/2021 Location The location of the interview Albany When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I was diagnosed COVID positive in January 2021. I ended up in the hospital due to lung involvement. This was a wake up call, because you can not bargin with the virus. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Even taking care, social distancing, masks, washing, Covid is very invasive. Not sure how my lungs will heal, but I’m ready to meet the future. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Staying positive, thinking about future hair styles and completely over whelmed by the love and support of my amazing family and friends. I am incredibly supported by wonderful people. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I’m trying to stay positive, but I am shocked by some shallow peoples reaction. I’m not ashamed by my illness, but it’s my story and my choice to make it public. Boundaries people, privacy. To be honest, I know I’m one of the lucky ones, and will never take it for granted. The hospital staff, brave and dedicated have shown me respect, care, and empathy.... so many critical patients on this floor. I thank them and listen if they need to share. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 I believe I will continue to work remotely because I can and because of underlying health issues. Again, I know I have privileges- good health insurance, sick leave, medical professionals in the family helping to work on my treatment plans. I also work with the very best group of colleagues and we will figure it all out. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 N/A Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 N/A Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes, staying focused and getting a filing system going. Afraid of letting some details get skipped, but since getting ill, realize there is now a real, I can get it done later and that’s ok. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 N/A If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 N/A How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Being in the hospital, my interactions have been with my room mate, and the medical staff. Thank goodness for my cellphone. Strange, I’m glad I could not have physical visitors- it was peaceful. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Yes, but I now have a future and plenty of time to figure it all out. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 The love people sent my way. Powerful Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 The hardest emotional part was saying goodbye to my husband when he dropped me off at the hospital. I was surprised how calmly I took the news about how seriously ill I had become. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 Yes What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish our country handled this differently, I wish people acknowledged the seriousness of the virus. And I want to scream, social distance, wear a mask, wash your hands. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Keep up to date, the impact will be long lasting, do your best and forgive yourself How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 For me, it could be physical issues. I hope people will embrace rather than deny. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I am told, that I can not spread the virus on to others, at for that, I am grateful.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 51 Date 02/10/2021 Location The location of the interview Mamaroneck, NY When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 In early March 2020 my cousin was in the hospital (non covid related terminal illness) and we visited him with no restrictions. A week later we had his funeral at the Church and we all wore masks. We had a luncheon in a restaurant afterwards and we were the only patrons in the entire place. Later that night I went to dinner for my nephew's birthday at another restaurant in a different town and it was packed. A week later was my birthday and I spent it alone because I work with the public and was afraid of getting anyone sick. My mother did insist on dropping off some dinner, but we couldn't even hug. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I live by myself so outside of work, where I still physically go, I do not spend time with people except on occasion. Even then we keep our distance. I could count on 2 hands the number of hugs I've had in a year. I watch a lot more tv than I ever did. I am a supervisor. I have had to help my staff deal with their fears while simultaneously dealing with my own. My parents are elderly. I used to have dinner with them twice a week. We no longer do that. I can see my father going downhill because he has no stimulation. He used to go to lunch with his friends. He used to teach classes to the retired people. He is so isolated now. My nephews have been part time in school, part time remote, they are A students, but they are tired and strained. One nephew just tested positive. A bunch of us have been exposed and had to quarantine. I only go grocery shopping once a month. My elderly father had to have open heart surgery and only one person could be with him. Ordinarily my whole family would have taken turns. We were lucky however, I know many people who were not allowed in the hospital with their loved ones. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Prayer, Reading the Bible, Coherent Breathing, Meditation, Chair yoga, going for walks. Trying to cheer up friends and family. GOING to Church. I am going to die when God decides and not one minute sooner. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Loss of hope. As this has dragged on their surge capacity is depleted. A lot of people are not centered and operate out of fear. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 We now offer service virtually and pick up through the window. Focusing on community wellness. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 On paper? No. In reality? Yes. I have not stopped going to work except when I had to quarantine for exposure. I am a librarian. We have plexiglass and masks. Custodians disinfect. We stay 6 feet apart. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I work from everywhere now. There is no down time. What do you do when a staff member calls on a Sunday to say they tested positive? Or their child tested positive? Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 No. My son is a 20 something living in NYC. I've been afraid to be near him because he works at home, but I am always around people. It's caused distance between us that I HATE. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 No How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 To keep in touch with family and friends. Call out political hypocrisy. Elected officials who keep restaurants closed, but go out to restaurants in other places. Don't wear masks, send covid positive patients into nursing homes with the elderly. Positive posts to keep community upbeat. Lots of people isolated, depressed , suicidal. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 I LOVE to travel. My brother's family moved out of the country and I had planned on visiting him. Not going to happen. I miss my nieces who are now older since I got to see them. I'm single. I can't imagine starting to date people in this mess. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 No. I wish I did. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Flexibility of my staff. Willing to try new things to aid the community. Focusing on staff wellness: physical, emotional, spiritual and financial. Casual clothes are totally acceptable at work now. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 My nephew. 2 staff members. Mild cases thank God. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 We had a funeral in a Church when a family friend of 40 years passed away. She left a husband and 5 daughters who I grew up with and we couldn't even hug. I had to wave at them and make heart signs with my hands. Really???!!! That's what shared grief looks like these days. My friend's mother was in the hospital. My friend wasn't allowed in. Her mother was on the first floor and they opened the window so they could talk. Her mother was hard of hearing and so it wasn't much of a conversation. All she could do was repeatedly yell to her, "I love you mom!!!" Her mother later had a heart attack and died and that was my friends last contact with her mother ever. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I would not have put off travel. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 We took a lot for granted. Always thinking we'd be able to do things later, putting off pleasure for later in order to get more work done. Eat dessert first. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 So many people have lost it I'm not sure we will get back to the old normal. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 This has had a great impact politically which will have to be studied historically. President Trump was blamed for the pandemic, although he got the private sector and public sector to work together and develop vaccination in record time. President Biden is supposed to be the savior who is going to fix this. So far it doesn't look to good. On January 22, 2021 he said, "There's nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the last several months." Interestingly the only 3 people I know who got Covid have all gotten it since President Biden took office.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 79 Date 02/10/2021 Location The location of the interview Wilton, Saratoga County When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 In March, 2020 I thought the two-we shutdown was a really big inconvenience. Now, many months of being in my house day in and day out, though I live in a big house on 40 acres of land, it's getting very OLD! The seemingly constant mutations of the virus are very concerning snd stressful for me. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 We Don't get together with friends, go out to dinner. Our house in Florida stands empty. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Except for the stress I'm feeling fine. To relieve stress I try to keep busy with housework, and quilting, crafts, reading, phone calls, walking on my treadmill. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 There is less traffic on the roads and in stores. In the beginning it surprised me that so many people thought it was a hoax! Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 NO Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 NO Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 NO Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 NO Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 NO If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 NO How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I'm texting more, talking to friends and family more by phone. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We had to postpone a river cruise in France then on to Italy where we had rented a vill for a week. Our children and their families were to join us. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Our cat is good entertainment, though he's not happy at being kept indoors . We're usually in Florida by Christmas and he prefers the outdoors. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I made masks for our emergency squad as many friends did/are doing. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 My brother-in-law is bedridden right now and on oxygen. He was hospitalized in the beginning. It has been very concerning as his health is already compromised. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 --------- What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 --------- What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I hope there will be future generations! How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 If we can survive this thing I hope we will not be wearing masks always. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 43 Date 02/03/2021 Location The location of the interview Marathon, NY, USA When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March 2020 when events we were to be part of were cancelled. However, we are not dependent on Starbucks, McDonalds, and the like, so we were not in any kind of tailspin during the beginning stages of finding out the world around us was shutting down. My reaction did not change when we had our first cases here. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 We have learned a lot about ourselves. Our expectations are reasonable, our patience level with each other is more acceptable, and we realized what is really important in this time of paring our lives back. God, family, memories, technology are all important parts of our lives and that's what our family has been focused on. Much of the same as it was our focus before. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel fine. The expectations of my role as a parent, and business owner have stayed the same, though modifications to running a business needed to be made. Because of having less evening activities, I am not driving as much, which saves time and money, and I am able to get adequate sleep. Those two things reduce stress. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Schools are the major difference. Children/teens home for part of the week and at school part of the week has been the most challenging aspect of scheduling. I think this change is hardest on teenagers. When the pandemic first started, it was surprising that many people didn't think it would ever get here or affect our small town. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 We are still open, though we don't have a storefront with set hours. Contactless pick up has been a popular way to move goods. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 No, I am not considered essential by the government's standards. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No, I continue to work part time, just less hours than before. And, I'm completely remote (working from home). Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes, I am running my two businesses from home as well as working my part time job from home. The biggest challenge was setting up our home to accommodate the school day as well as the work day, in separate areas where everyone has the privacy they need to accomplish their day. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes, my teenagers are home from school 2 days a week and in person at school 3 days a week. The days are going fine now that we have a set routine. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 Not a student. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 For business use, the same as before the pandemic. For work, all recorded work is sent in so I can continue to be remote. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 No, we did not. We had a graduation party in the summer, outside with plenty of precautions. Some chose not to come as they were not comfortable, but some chose to even travel in for the occasion. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Yes we have animals that live in our home. We did not get a new one during this time. Our old cat spends a lot of time with my teens during the day. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Many churches, civic organizations and social groups have taken great measures to help in any way they can. The struggles with that are the social distancing, shared items, and following so many strict guidelines. In general, people will wait their turn in line without complaint, be more courteous with each other in the store, are more apt to say something to a stranger to make them smile or laugh, or show gratitude and appreciation more than before...knowing that the same things that are being accomplished today are that much harder to attain than the same things we did before the pandemic. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes, different degrees of severity. For some, severe symptoms, but not death. For some, runny nose and sore throat, also not death. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 Did not lose a family member during this time. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Toilet paper would be scarce. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 If you continue to love people, serve God and look to Him for guidance instead of the politicians, you'll be better off, not be stressed and able to enjoy the change of the times. Do not focus yourself on the news or other media, it will be detrimental to your health and well-being. To be well prepared, have your finances in order with a substantial savings account balance in case you lose your job, have a pantry of non-perishable items, not be dependent on conveniences, and be prepared to do more things like they did in the old days. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Unfortunately, people are somewhat cautious of each other. This is difficult to comprehend after living so many years when you can show your affection when you greet friends. Hopefully we get back to a hug and handshake between friends! The new normal...that is the question many ask. Overall, people listening to the government over everything else for guidance on "what's right" and that's scary! Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 We are a courageous people; study the Bible and know where this country came from and notice how sad it is now having gone through this. People of all ages are suffering in tragic ways because they have been shut off from society through the pandemic. The suicide rates among teen is astronomical right now. The government is not the savior with the vaccine, nor should they be praised like they are. Stand up for your rights and seek the Lord. He can offer protection, strength, and wisdom beyond what man can offer. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Question 1 On March 12, 2020 when my job became virtual, I was unable to travel for work, and I moved my office to my dining room table. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?

Question 8 Yes, my husband and I work from home. I am still on the dining room table and have been for 10 months now. Challenge because it is hard to get work done some days, making sourdough bread seems more fun some days How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Zoom overload! Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 European vacation was cancelled, and weekly dinners out with friends is no longer an option. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day?

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 58 Date 02/28/2021 Location The location of the interview Charlton, NY When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 On March 11 I was at the Celtic Hall in Colonie with the pipe band I do some admin work for. Everyone was asking if the St. Patrick's Day parades that Saturday would be canceled, and everyone was speculating about other events they were scheduled to attend. One person, who has a logistics job with the military, told me that gatherings were going to be limited to no more than ten people and that we'd all have to be six feet apart. While everything had felt strange and uncertain for several days prior, it was that night when I thought "nothing is going to be the same." I called my husband and told him "This is going to be big." I drove home listening to Trump on the radio. I remember thinking "That's it? That's all he has to say?" Looking back I realize that I didn't hear anything again about groups no larger than ten people and everyone six feet apart for maybe two weeks after that night. I've wondered since, if that was already known within the military that second week in March, why did it take so long for it to become public knowledge? How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 The first few months my life ground to halt. Everything on my chaotic calendar was crossed off. I stopped wearing my watch. I had no freelance work. My husband lost his job. My daughters were suddenly home finishing college online. We had gorgeous weather in the summer and spent a lot of time in our pool and just hanging out. Our 30-year old nephew in Florida lost his job and apartment and came to live with us--he stayed for four months. Now things are busy--my husband and I are both working again, and the volunteer organizations we are involved with are up and running, albeit virtually. I never go anywhere, but I'm okay with that--I'm a homebody anyway. I miss seeing people, but in some ways I'm not looking forward to going back to all the running around. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 The stress comes and goes. The holidays were a bit stressful only because we had one relative who wanted to visit from Florida, and we weren't comfortable doing that. She kept pushing, but we finally convinced her that it was a bad idea. My husband has to travel for work so he was always isolating every time he was home, and I slept in our guest room for a long time. Now he's fully vaccinated (he's a volunteer firefighter), so we don't have to worry so much any more. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I'm a freelancer, and my work disappeared from March until September. By that time, the clients I work for had settled into working from their own homes, and the kind of work I do had transitioned to being all digital. My husband was laid off April 1. We both filed for unemployment, which was a tough process at the time--mostly because the NYS website was so bogged down. It was extra complicated for me as a freelancer because it was the first time independent contractors had been allowed to file for unemployment. The questions on the application didn't make sense. But we got it going . We lost our health insurance benefits from my husband's company and have been paying for COBRA ever since. He's now working as a freelancer (doing the same work he was doing before), and will probably continue working that way, so eventually we'll have to buy insurance on the marketplace. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I've worked from home for twenty years and so has my husband (except when he has to travel), so that's normal for us. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 All of my work is now digital. We use Zoom for meetings and socializing, which is new for me but not for my husband--he's participated in virtual meetings for many years. The difference now, he says, is that no one ever used to turn their cameras on for meetings--now everyone does! Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Both my daughters graduated from college in May. We had a drive-by celebration. I have a big box full of wrapped Christmas and birthday gifts for people we haven't been able to see. One of these days, we'll have a big party! What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 There's a lot more patience with people who feel they need to stay home if they think they're sick--you don't get scolded if you call to cancel an appointment at the last minute. Most people, too, seem more considerate of each other in general. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 No one in our house has been ill, but we know several people who have been. One friend got sick last March and is just starting to recover--she's a long hauler. My daughter's boyfriend and his parents got sick over the holidays--their cases were mild but he's having lingering vascular issues. Another friend had pneumonia, tested negative for Covid twice, then tested positive for antibodies. He's struggling with brain fog. Both his parents, an aunt, and a cousin died. We know several other people who have lost loved ones; two people we know died. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I had known how long it was going to last. We still don't really know . . . How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 It will be interesting to see what changed, but I think things will go back to being normal more than we might expect.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 39 Date 02/28/2021 Location The location of the interview Crumlin Northern Ireland When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Around 13th March 2020, I was very panicked, this lasted around 3 months before it began to reduce, however, it was always there, an undercurrent of anxiety, by the time someone in my town tested positive I was getting used to it, hearing it was getting closer spiked the panic again. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I work from my home, (I am a therapist so thankfully can work remotely), so no commute or mixing with other humans for social interaction. I stay home at the weekends rather than going for dinner or out with friends, all my shopping is done online. For many months I washed my groceries before putting them away but I stopped that as it was becoming obsessive and not good in the long run. I exercise less as my urban rebounding class isn’t on, so go the odd walk, but I have less time as I work more due to increased demand for mental health therapists. I am homeschooling my 16yr old daughter, she has basically missed almost a year of being in school. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel low mood setting in the longer this goes on, we are still in lockdown at present, there is a sense of apathy and lack of motivation, though this fluctuates daily. The undercurrent of anxiety is always there. I try to set mini goals daily to help, go a walk, do laundry, post a letter, meditate or listen to a podcast. I also now minimise what I listen to on the news or social media. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Food banks have been set up, I was surprised at how many people needed them. Also, the judgements made by people on others, so many people lack empathy, then again stress brings out our selfish side. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 I work for myself as a CBT therapist, thankfully I can work from home and my workload has increased exponentially. It is a struggle working from home as others live here too, it is also difficult to detach from work at the end of the day, easier to take work home with me because I’m already there, I try to go a walk after work to detach but that doesn’t always work. On the up side I’m saving a lot on fuel and coffees that I would usually buy. I miss the social interaction with clients and colleagues. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Yes, I am included as essential as I work in mental health. I work remotely from home, I do see some clients face to face, those who cannot engage remotely, I wear a visor, space seats 2 meters apart and sanitise the room in between sessions. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 NA Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Other people live here too, I ask a lot of them when I take over the kitchen for the day, they have been great but its not ideal. Also, more interruptions occur, deliveries, people needing in to eat etc. Not being able to switch off, sitting eating dinner at the same table you where at when you just talked someone out of taking their life, it’s tough! Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes, well a 16 yr old daughter and a 22 yr old son. My daughter is struggling with homeschooling, she is experiencing a lot of anxiety and has got behind with her work. My son is completing his final year of uni from his bedroom, he’s on top of his work but feels a low mood setting in at times because there’s very little to do, not enough stimulation for both of them. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 NA How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 My social media increased to begin with, searching for COVID-19 related news, I have since stopped this as it was only increasing anxiety. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Yes, my 40th birthday is next week, I’m having a small celebration instead and plan to do something bigger when the pandemic ends. My son graduates this year, it’s going to be virtual, this I’m most sad about as he won’t get to walk across that stage to get his diploma, after all those years of hard work. He also missed his internship last summer, he did it all online from his bedroom rather than living in Edinburgh for 3 months. We can’t go on a family holiday this year, one we wanted to take before our son leaves the nest for a new job in Cambridge. My daughter also missed out on big celebrations for her 16th, and my husband missed celebrating his own birthday and of course the celebrations for the football team he has supported all his life winning the premier league in 2020 - LFC. All celebrations have been at home, together, and I guess that’s all that matters Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have a cat, Hobi, she is very loved by us all, she broke her leg during all of this and luckily our vet was still open and able to treat her. When she sits on your knee for a cuddle you can’t help but smile, and feel loved What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 We got plenty of work done to our home, new kitchen, new windows, a wee cat flap for Hobi. We have spent even more time together as a family in our beautiful home, we are so blessed. My own work with clients brings a sense of purpose, being able to help others through it all too. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 My best friend had it, she said it felt more like a tummy bug, not the usual symptoms you hear of, she has autoimmune diseases and had been scared but thankfully it didn’t hit her too hard. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 NA What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That I didn’t need to wash my groceries as much. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Put plenty of effort into protecting your mental health, prioritise it, go walks, meditate, things are not as bad as you think they are, it will pass. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Hopefully people will be more hygienic, probably things like hand shaking etc will take a while to get back to, most people a bit more cautious, only for a while though, people forget and go back to the old ways soon enough, I don’t think it will be that different. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I’ve noticed the amount of people that do not follow the guidelines, and not just members of the public being selfish, I mean schools opening when they should be closed, teachers in classrooms closing windows and doors when they should be open (according to guidelines), many other establishments not adhering to the rules yet members of the public being blamed, the lack of leadership in governments and terrible decisions made, especially by our education minister to the detriment of our children, inexcusable!

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 In March 2020 we immediately decided to stay home as much as possible How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Before we went anywhere we wanted but now we hardly leave our home. Our doctor visits are over the internet, our groceries are picked up for us , and our prescriptions are delivered. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 How some people do not want to conform to the protocol How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Yes a lot more FaceTime, texting and phoning What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Please take it seriously How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 57 Date 02/27/2021 Location The location of the interview Plattsburgh NY When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 The first time I felt the real devastation from the COVID virus was when my Uncle was diagnosed. He was the first case in our area, and it was pretty scary. He had been on vacation, in Florida, when he became ill. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Since I have health issues I have to be extra cautious about who I am around, even with masks in place. I am frightened all the time that I may contract this illness. I worry about my 90 year old mother. I worry about people I don't even know. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 My husband helps me keep my spirits up and talks me through when I worry too much. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Our community is not a close one and now it is even worse, everyone is afraid of everything. I am surprised that the paper has not been more of an out let, letting front line workers know how much they are appreciated. I have heard of individuals that have done things, like send donuts or pizza to the ICU staff. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 No Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Yes, I work in the field of swimming pools. Considering no one is likely to go away on vacation this is to help them have something at home to enjoy Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 Never laid off worked entire time. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Working directly in the factory If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 No children at home How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Not Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Not yet, but my Nephew is scheduled to be married in October??????????????????? Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have a cat, his presence is awesome. He seems to know when I could use some loving. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 My Uncle contracted it. Due to the pandemic I was not allowed to see him. My Aunt would see him via the internet, but he slipped into a coma and never recovered. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 My Uncle, and we have yet to celebrate his life. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How to stop it. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 If history repeats itself there will be another pandemic. People need to stay strong, keep their heads up, and fight it with all their might. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I really believe that we will always wear masks, at least during my life time. I think that will be our new norm.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 66 Date 02/27/2021 Location The location of the interview Auburn, NY When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March 22, 2020 was the last time I had a meaningful visit with my mother in the nursing home. It was also the last time my parents, married 67 years, were permitted to touch before my father living in the community, died from metastatic cancer. The separation, intended to keep my mother "safe" resulted in staff members infecting her with the virus. She recovered from COVID but has since lost considerable weight, and seriously declined in her dementia. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 During the initial lock down I continued working, coordinating drivers for our county's Meals on Wheels program. My husband lost his job due to COVID related downsizing. I had major spine surgery in May, and due to restrictions, was totally separated from family during the pre opening and recovery in the hospital. My father's cancer progressed, and he was taken into care by Hospice and a local hospice home, and died. I was able to be with him at the hospice house. My brothers and I told my mother of her husband's death through a window at the nursing home. She "participated" in the memorial service via Zoom. Not in the presence of her family and pastor, but grieving with staff members paid to be there. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Stressed! The continued separation from my mother in the nursing home is most difficult. Co.innovation from the staff is sparse. I must constantly ask to be given any information, and often don't know what to ask as I can't see her. I deal with the stress by walking every day. I keep daily notes of blessings. I use good sleep hygiene practices to sleep though it is not as restful as I would like. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 As the Volunteer Driver Coordinator for our Meals on Wheel program, it has been heartwarming to have numerous community members step up to take on driving routes. Initially, many long time, mostly elderly drivers stepped down due to COVID concerns, but other, younger retirees came forward. Perhaps they feel stir crazy and housebound, and other avenues for volunteering had been closed. Our proven is the happy recipient of many new, dedicated volunteers. Using new contact less delivery procedures, we have not missed a delivery. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am an essential worker. Initially I worked from home 2 days a week to reduce staff numbers in the office. We do a daily temp screening which honestly seems worthless as the digital thermometer reads so low as to be meaningless. Coordinating drivers for meals on Wheels deliveries, we have implemented contactless delivery protocols while still attempting to make a social contact with the homebound individuals and provide a safety check. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 My husband was terminated due to COVID. He collects unemployment which has been helpful. As we are at retirement age, though we had planned to continue to work for several more years, we have now switched to Medicare and medigap insurance as his job provided our health insurance. The cost for COBRA would have been prohibitive. As it was, I had more than $5,000 in out of pocket expenses for my spine surgery in May. We had anticipated being able to pay that (our portion of the high deductible plan) but his job loss sent me begging to the hospital for a reduction in charges. We were grateful to have the bill drastically reduced to an affordable amount. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Only worked 2 days a week from home for a couple months. It was disruptive, moving the computer between home and office, and not having access to a printer or photo copier. I felt like I lost productivity due to working part time from home. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 No children. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 NA How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I am spending more time on the internet than previously. Some of it is wasted time, but I have enjoyed podcasts and some virtual con arts, lectures and tours, as well. Some organizations have been very successful in delivering digital content. I doubt if it is sustainable for them from a financial perspective. I have valued digital books! Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We had a pathetic 67th wedding annibersary celebration for my parents at the window of my mother's nursing home. My father and I sat outside and it was all I could do not to cry. He had a boutonniere, she had a corsage. They each had a piece of wedding cake. This couple could not touch. Could not kiss. A few !I the later, he died of metastatic cancer. Our family told my mother via the window that her husband had died. No touch from family - the social worker patted her arm. It was heart wrenching! The next day, she "participated" in tne memorial service via Zoom. Again, not a loving touch from her family or pastor. Only people paid to be in her life to help her grieve. The service itself was limited to a dozen family members with no friends to support us in our grief. Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays - all celebrated without extended family to join us. We kept our circle VERY small, and she gathering, we STILL wear masks and avoid touching our loved ones. I am blessed to be living with my husband so have not felt the loneliness many have experienced. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 No pets Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I received a call December 22 that the nursing home, which had kept my mother locked in,and family lo ked out, had infected my 86 year old mother with a love tally sadly virus. If I thought the separation before that was difficult, the two week period of her being abruptly moved to a newly created COVID unit in the nursing home was crushing. The faculty turned 4 of their 6 42 bed floor s into COVID units. More than 208 residents eventually contracted the disease - it brought in by family, but clearly by staff members who weren't as careful as I have been about behavior. At keast 57 residents died from COVID there. The nursing home failed miserably at communicating with me my mother's status. Only by my repeated telephone calls did I ever get an update. She used relatively mild symptoms but I made it very clear that if symptoms processed I would get her, and bring her home to die. I was not about to let her die alone locked inside a nursing home! I went so far as to rent a hospital bed, delivered Christmas Eve. She did recover and was returned to her regular floor. Two weeks later they did call me. She was not eating and had lost 20 pounds. That is a lot when you are a 4 ft 11 in tall old lady who only weighed 94 pounds to start with. Her condition continues to deteriorate. Her dementia is progressing and infact, they have now moved her to a dementia unit due to to her increasing agitation and aggressive behaviors. If only I could visit her daily! It is difficult to know if her dementia would have progressed to this point anyways, or of COVID is causing some of these issues. In any case, COVID has stolen a million moments from my mother and from our entire family. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 We held a very small, private memorial service for my father, who died of cancer. I would have valued the presence of many friends and acquaintances otherwise. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I knew how long it would stretch on. It may not have made much difference in my behaviors and perhaps it's best to NOT know what lies ahead. Could we bear it if we KNEW what we would face? What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Value each other. Make the phone call. Write the note of encouragement. Make time to spend together. Value what matters. It isn't about stuff, but relationships. Keep your life simple so when things are stripped away you aren't bereft. My greatest learning this last year has been that my husband of 45 years and I love each other. That should be obvious but in the day to day we take things for granted. He has been my rock of support. We have enjoyed long walks together and time just spent talking in ways we did not before. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I believe we will continue to wear masks, much as citizens in many Asian countries have done, to protect ourselves and each other from the transmission of disease. I fear a greater divide between those who believe and trust science and ignorant people who think everything is a conspiracy to violate their personal freedoms. It seems likely that future COVID vaccine requirements may add fuel to this fire. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I wish our country's citizens understood and valued science more than they seem to. There was, and still is, such skepticism about the reality of the virus. There was anger that information and recommendations changed. Those folks must not have learned that this is the way of science!

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I was in Iowa City for a graduate art show featuring my niece when it was suddenly cancelled and students had to leave campus. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My life is much more solitary and I depend on technology to connect with friends and family. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I miss seeing friends and family. To relieve stress I have turned to nature. In the Spring, Summer and Fall I kayaked. In the Winter I snowshoe. I can safely social distance with friends. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I see more people walking and enjoying our wonderful beaches and parks. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 No Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 No Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 NO Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 NO Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 NO How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I have been using zoom for organizations and meeting with friends. I have taken classes on line. I have made books using digital photography. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 I had to cancel two major trips, one to Europe and one to the Caribbean. Holidays plans were altered. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 No What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I upped my charitable giving to local organizations. I tried to support local eateries by doing take-out. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes. They experienced extreme muscle ache and fatigue but never spiked a fever. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 No What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish we there were not so many mixed messages. If we knew the importance of wearing masks earlier we could of saved lives. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I think being prepared like you would be for any weather. situation when you are sheltering in place. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think we will be adapting for a long time. Masks are probably here to stay for awhile.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Heard about it in the news in January and February 2020, fell sick with very similar symptoms after my daughter's mother returned home from a trip to Mumbai, turned out not to be COVID. First case hit Buffalo in early March I believe. My jobs (librarian; writing tutor; creative director of a mixed use laundromat) all went online March 15. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 On my butt more, sadly. Forcing lots more exploration of outdoor spaces though—a huge plus:) How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Feeling ok. Rollarskating and iceskating a lot, as always, probably just more so:) What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 My freinds are mostly rather well-behaved about the containment measures, although I've notice our bubbles (a.k.a. microbiomes;) starting to slowly expand as the months go on. I've been very lucky to stay out of harm's way, as has almost everyone I know. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 I am a business co-owner of a mixed-use laundromat that doubles as a community arts and resource center, but our business has been on pause while we await the completion of construction of a new space; construction has slowed but not stopped thankfully and we are poised to reopen in April of 2021! Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Not essential. Been working remotely since March 2020. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 Thankfully not furloughed or laid off...yet! Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes. Butt pain. Parent-teaching a fifth grader, who, granted, is in school, albeit from home as well though. Feeling uncertain about how I've held out in many ways for the eventual recovery, and maybe not really leaned into "The Big Pivot" as much as I should have. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes. An 11 yr old. We get along great, even though being around each other 3 more than usual does thin our patience at times. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 Not a student. I do work at/for 2 colleges though, neither of which have set plans for the Fall 2021 yet. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Using Instagram stories to document my skate voyages and discoveries, and keep up with my community's collective thirst for life. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Yes, many summer trips, and a couple family reunions. Stayed home, swam in Lake Erie all summer. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We did adopt (bought more accurately) two hamsters, who have shared with us their generally adorable and hilarious tendencies, including, ironically enough, burrowing. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 The few people that i know, albeit indirectly, who contracted COVID made it through no problem—thankfully. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 Did not, thank goodness. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Not to get involved in international dating (very easy in Buffalo, what with Fort Erie just across the Niagara River, and Toronto just a bit further). What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 It was serious. We fought like hell against the false claims, but we also fought like hell to stay together. The pandemic also exposed America's deplorable underbelly of systemic racism and inequity. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Less compulsory in-person attendance Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 43 Date 02/14/2021 Location The location of the interview Town of Saratoga When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I wasn't very concerned about COVID-19 until the day the schools closed. Up to that point it seemed like something vaguely serious that probably wouldn't affect us here in rural upstate NY. I'm a small business owner, and the Friday before I'd held a staff meeting to discuss new safety protocols and contingency plans for disaster that didn't feel very real yet. The day the schools closed I went for a walk in Hudson Crossing part with a friend, and we talked about how surreal this all felt. No one I knew expected the state to shut down for three months, or for the death toll to rise to rapidly. We felt very insulated back then. Covid happened slowly at first, then all at once. We all went to work on Monday and made plans for the coming week that didn't matter anymore by noon. We prepared as if it was going to be maybe a week or two before this sorted itself out. I remember working alone in the office for a week. I am the only one who lives just a few minutes away, and there was still a lot of loose ends to handle. I sent my staff home to work remotely because I wanted to protect them. It was very lonely. Eerie, coming to the empty building every day. My husband helped me bring home all the office plants. We emptied the kitchen so no food spoiled and we didn't attract mice. Our office is in the Town building and at that time it was maybe going to be staged as a FEMA field hospital, so we didn't know if we'd even be allowed back in the building depending on how bad things got. I'd always loved the Town building - the old school - and am often the first one in and last one out, so being alone there never bothered me. The lockdown, though, made everything feel like the opening scene of a horror film. For months afterwards I felt afraid to go back there alone (to my office of ten years - to the company I own!). I had a panic attack once when I had to go scan something, and my adult daughter went with me. When I went alone all I could do is sit in my office and cry. It felt like the world was ending. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I haven't seen my parents in a year, or my aunts and uncles who live far away. I have a big family in Rhode Island and so far they're all safe but I miss them very much. I saw my sister a few times but mostly we just talk on Zoom. There are so many friends I can't see anymore. I attended my first Zoom funeral recently. I think the main difference is that I feel compelled to make everything matter. Like every day could be the last day, which was always true but now we're forced to think about it all the time. I'm closer with my immediate family who I live with and I miss everyone else. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 It's exhausting, being on high alert for an entire year with no end in sight. The small stuff, like missing a vacation or not seeing my family for the holidays, isn't so bad. I can tell myself it's only for now. The bigger stuff, though, like will I did alone in an ICU or will I see my loved ones for the last time on an iPad, that sticks with me. I think we can acclimate to just about anything but this has been a long, long emergency. I started creating TikTok content about grief and being an End of Life Doula. That helps - even though it sounds morbid it's incredibly cathartic to make a difference in someone else's life. Before Covid I'd started hosting Death Cafes, and this is another way to continue that work. I think we need the Death Positive movement now more than ever. None of us know how to speak openly or comfortably about death, and it's a skill we all need right now. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I truly appreciate being part of a small town. For the most part everyone came together to support each other. Byron's never ran out of food, and didn't allow hoarding so everyone had access to what they needed. I love how local businesses posted in the community page about what they had in stock or where to find things we all needed. People organized deliveries of food and medication to those who couldn't safely leave their homes. It was comforting to see a global crisis bring out the best in so many of our neighbors. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 We never closed, but significantly limited our work for three months. We used to hold in-person training and now we either go to a hotel where there's better ventilation or hold classes online. Field work requires full PPE, which was really hard to find for awhile, so we had to stop half of our services for a long time. We are extremely lucky, though, because we got a disaster loan and had our PPP loan forgiven. Without those two programs I don't think we would have survived. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 We were considered Phase 2, so we were able to go back to work in June. Luckily my staff and I were not essential workers, so we were all safe at home working remotely as best we could. My husband and son in law were essential workers though and I was afraid for them most of the time. At home we don't have anyone over now - or we sit outside when the weather is nice. My husband takes a shower and washes his clothes as soon as he comes home from work. We use Instacart most of the time instead of shopping ourselves, and we don't visit our extended families anymore. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 We had the incredible good luck to keep our health insurance and our jobs. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I worked from home for three months. It was difficult at first, learning a bunch of new skills all at once. Zoom feels like second nature now but at first it was awkward and terrible. It has been difficult for my kids to not see their friends. They got to be with other people for awhile in the summer and fall but now it's hard to socialize safely. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 We have a 16 year old and a 22 year old. They were both still in school, finishing 10th grade and senior year in college. The first week of lockdown we made schedules for ourselves and posted them on the wall. The schedules helped keep us all grounded during lockdown. There was walk time and chore time and TV time, all in manageable little blocks. It was nice to have some consistency and structure. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 I'm in a graduate program but it was online anyway, through Empire State College, so for me nothing really changed. Our son decided to take homeschool classes at SUNY Geneseo rather than do hybrid high school. So far it's going well. He likes taking one class at a time and getting all the high school credits at once. When he finishes he'll get a real NYS diploma (not a GED) and will have 24 general education credits that are transferrable to any SUNY. It's a great program for high school kids who do well with self-direction and remote learning. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 The internet is how we've kept in touch with so many of our people. I don't know what we'd do without it. My son only really gets to interact with other kids his age through video games and social media right now. Zoom how my work team and I stayed connected to each other and our clients. It allowed us to do something for a living when all the other things were impossible. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 My daughter postponed her wedding twice and ended up getting married by the Mayor in the Village office with no guests. They're not as disappointed as they expected, and are using their wedding fund to put a down payment on a house. I was supposed to work in Germany last May and was very disappointed that it didn't happen. I'm glad to be home safe with my family, though, and grateful that I wasn't already there when Covid happened. I may have been stuck there this whole time. Family gatherings have turned into Zoom parties, and we try to reach out to people more with text and cards. My son and I started painting postcards for our friends and family. That was a fun way to stay connected and a bit of fun stress relief. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We adopted two kittens in June. They are one of the most joyful things to come out of this time. Our dog is thrilled to have us all home so often. He used so spend 8 hours a day by himself and now there is someone home always. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Under normal circumstances I never would have spent three straight months with my adult children and teenager. When work and school and social events stopped so abruptly, we only really had each other. So we did what we could to make the best of it - house projects, cooking, playing with the dog, family game nights. I am grateful for the parts that brought my family closer together. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 We all had Covid in December. My daughter was contact traced from her work on December 8th and we were all quarantined until after Christmas. Not that we would have gone anywhere, but it was scary and sad to have it happen during the holidays. We all had mild cases, and I was sickest of all because I already have severe asthma. I had to buy a special pillow on Amazon so I could lay face down to sleep because that's the only position where I could breathe well. We all were extremely weak and exhausted all for a couple weeks, with high fevers and brain fog. We watched a lot of TV and our friends brought us food which was so kind. I know people who lost friends and family to Covid and realize how lucky we are to have had such mild cases. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 I lost a friend to a heroin overdose. We held a Zoom memorial and everyone contributed stories and photos of her. It was lovely and hopefully we can all get together in the summer when it's safer. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I had known that day in March was the last day. I would have taken more time to appreciate "normal" before normal became something else entirely. I would hug my parents and visit my sister who lives in another state that we can't visit right now. I would have a big dinner party with all our friends. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Build community. Hoarding food and toilet paper isn't going to help get you through a long crisis. Community connections - knowing and trusting our neighbors - are the best way to prepare for the unknown. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think remote work is the one good thing to come out of the pandemic. Lots of people were spending 10+ hours a week commuting to their jobs that we now know can be done 100% remotely, often with better results. So I hope that part stays. I also hope we maintain our sense of community resiliency. The way we all took care of each other was beautiful and I hope we can hold onto that. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I think it's important to recognize that trauma looks different for each person. We are all traumatized in some way from this experience, but no one will express it exactly the same way. I think it's going to be very important, moving forward, to recognize that and be able to speak openly about our experiences.

Compulsions to work more, longer, interrupt home life and so on are all much more prevalent. No work life / personal life balance Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 No. With what I hear from colleagues and friends, I am very glad to not also be figuring out how all of that is supposed to work. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 No How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Not much, really. My only social networking of note is on anonymous sites. I don't engage, I lurk. Nothing new there. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 I've done outdoor and drive-by birthday celebrations with family. Graduations scheduled were shifted to online only. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Other animals are my daily family. I spend a lot of time with them. I feed and interact with wild animals much more. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I volunteer with numerous organizations mostly centered around outdoor activities and sports. Many people seem eager to engage with nature. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Many people through work have had COVID scares or positive diagnoses, including some long-haulers. A somewhat distant relative caught the virus and died. It's been dis-empowering, sad, negative. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 I did not celebrate the life of the distant relations that passed away. I should have reached out more to family that were closer to the loss. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 My job wouldn't be improving. The housing market would be vibrant for a while. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Listen to experts, read science. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I've often recalled a conversation I had with a friend in early March 2020 where we joked "I could really go for some quarantine right now!", expecting that we'd get a couple weeks off work and then life would go back to normal. I think it was probably May or June of 2020 when I fully realized that things weren't going to be back to normal for a long time. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I no longer complain about the price of toilet paper! Since it was so hard to find in the early days of the pandemic, I now feel grateful just to be able to buy it! What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 This is not necessarily a huge issue in my own community, but I've been surprised at some people's unwillingness to wear a mask to protect others. I think that the argument "If you're scared then stay home" shows a real disregard for others who do not have that option. All of that aside, it's been nice to see positive support for essential workers. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We had a trip to Ireland planned to celebrate my partner's 30th birthday in December 2020. Instead we had a small celebration at home with just the two of us. We still plan to take the trip someday, but don't want to go unless we know that everything we want to do there will be fully open and we can get the experience we originally wanted. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 It has been wonderful being home with my dog all the time, and she has gotten a lot more walks just because I want to get out of the house! I do worry what impact it will have on her when I go back to work and suddenly she's home alone again. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 One bright spot has been online live streams of events, concerts, and other entertainment. Some of my favorite musicians have held virtual shows from their homes and I always contribute to their "virtual tip jars." If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 My grandfather died from COVID on April 7, 2020. It happened very quickly and I'm glad he didn't suffer long, but that was so early on in the pandemic that things seemed very surreal (and still do). I said goodbye to him over the phone while a nurse held the phone up to his ear. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Ten close family members gathered for a small funeral...they set up a computer so I could attend (with many others) via Zoom. I think we all felt a sense of powerlessness because we couldn't be with him during his last days. Many family members still harbor a lot of guilt around this. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I hope we normalize wearing masks if you're sick or immunocompromised. I also think we've learned how to be very productive with online tools and that this will inspire further innovation and connection across physical distances.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 41 Date 04/01/2021 Location The location of the interview Delhi, NY When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 First began to impact me personally when my children had to school remotely in March of 2020. I was still working, as was my husband, but our children were now at home with workbooks and daily online meetings. It was a huge change and required a lot of flexibility from our employers, the school, our children. Balancing everything became the key, and still is. At first we thought it would be a few weeks only - but as time went on it just became more serious and scary for everyone. We were lucky as our area was so safe in terms of infection, but we also starting seeing an influx of "outsiders" moving in. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I definitely have more perspective on what is a priority in life in terms of personal and work balance. I am much more conscious of personal space, and careful of public interactions. I keep food in the house to last at least 2 weeks in case we can't get to the store. I can't fathom going in to large crowds like at a concert - it seems incredibly scary at this point. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I crave alone time - I have been with my husband and children for over a year with no real breaks. I feel like I am constantly in a heightened state of awareness, that I cannot fully relax. To try and relieve stress I take walks and read for pleasure, we have a small group of friends that have been our "pod" throughout that we can socialize with. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I have noticed less social outings. I see more people from out of town in the area, and that is a surprise as they moved here from NYC. On campus students continue to keep socially distant, to wear masks even outside. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I was a semi-essential employee at the College. My area was kept open in March -April of 2020 as one of 3 areas on campus. We all wore masks, required it of students, had cleaning happening more often, and went to rotational work shifts. We have continued all of this through this year. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes, on a hybrid schedule. It has been hard to focus and stay on track with my kids at home doing school some days as well. I am incredibly lucky that I have the ability to be home with them on the days that they are home, but it is not easy. The kids have assignments that they need help with, even though they had an online session with the teacher (because normally they would be in the the classroom and be able to ask questions, etc...). Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes. It is hard. They miss their friends and their activities. They had a lot of things cancelled over the last year (camp, trips, sports) and don't know for sure what they will get to do this year. They have not seen any family in person for over a year, as we don't live near anyone. They are starting to become too reliant on technology to communicate, and emotionally they get easily angry and overly upset/sad at some things. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 We have relied on products like Google Meet and Zoom for work, as well as to interact with family and friends. I find myself just scrolling through Facebook and Instagram at night, especially when I feel like I can't really sleep. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We had trips planned we have not been able to take - to see family. My husband's 40th birthday was right as the pandemic began, we postponed his celebration and are still waiting to celebrate it appropriately (beyond just a Zoom happy hour with friends and cake). We have 3 friends who have had to postpone their weddings. Two did much smaller versions, and one had continued to postpone. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We have 5 cats and they have provided so much comfort to us. Everyone in the house has had times where they were able to just sit and enjoy the love and attention of one of these animals, who have been quite happy to have us at home. The cats have also provided plenty of amusement as they enjoyed joining online meetings by walking into camera range at random times. Taking care of the cats also reminded all of us that we had something to do, we needed to play and snuggle, the cats didn't know about the pandemic. They just knew that they loved us and wanted us to be with them. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I helped make masks for our community, and donated them back in the early days of the pandemic. My Girl Scout troop where I am a leader also helped to create care bags that we dropped off at a local senior living center. My kids organized mini-parades with some of the other children on our street because our town cancelled all of our parades (these are a big deal usually, so Memorial Day 2020 and St. Patrick's Day 2021 we had them on our street with neighbors in their driveways watching about 5 kids go up and down on decorated bikes and outfits). Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Thankfully, my immediate family has all remained COVID-19 free. However, my sister did contract the virus. She was supposed to visit us for Christmas, and tested prior to coming and came out positive (asymptomatic). It was very scary as she has severe asthma, and we were concerned. Her symptoms remained very mild, but my children were incredibly upset as they were worried, and also because they had not seen her in over a year and this impacted them seeing her and put it off for another 6 months at least. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 My grandmother passed in April of 2020, not due to COVID-19. The family held a memorial gathering for her in July of 2020 but I was unable to attend - it was in Nebraska and NY still had a lot of travel restrictions. Instead we shared photos and stories here, and through a private Facebook group that the family has. It still honestly seems not quite real. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That it would last so long and take such a mental toll on all of us. I don't know what I could have done to better prepare, but I think we might have tried something. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 To listen to the medical professionals, not the politicians or commentators. Masks really work and history has proven this on more than one occasion now. Wash your hands - and not just during a pandemic!!!! How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think we might seem masks more commonly as part of society now that we see how wearing them has affected health all around. I think we will see telecommuting becoming more accepted in more industries. I hope we will see less reliance on technology and more going back to the "old ways" of in person and face to face interactions as people are able to.

We all thought we would be back in 2 weeks. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 School is still different.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 35 Date 03/16/2021 Location The location of the interview Jamestown When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I heard about it from the news and from friends who live in China in Jan and Feb, It became impactful personally, on March 13th when I offered to work from home to meet the governor's mandate of only 50% of work staff. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Less socializing in person mostly and unable to travel and visit family in FL. Working from home for 4 months was different but in a good way. Overall the day by day was just more time at home and in nature, which wasn't all bad. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Feelings have been all over the place for a year, and often a rollercoaster each week. Thankfully I'm around a grounded community of family and friends which has helped. I crochet, and have made a lot of new projects in the last year! During the summer our rowing club had single boats to take out and the family has kayaks as well, so I spent time on the water as well. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I worked from home for 4 months and it was a nice change. No traffic, less time on the morning routine. I was kinda sad when our office went back the first week in July. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I started doom scrolling a lot more. COVID news, political news, all the downers. It was about Nov. that I had to step away and limit my time on all platforms due to mental exhaustion and constant anger/ sadness. I know check social media a bit but to see what things are opening up in the community and to get recommendations of a new path to hike or birds to search for. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I reached out to friends more, both to check on them and to make sure I didn't go to a dark place. As a social person I enjoy friends, but this has really helped me go deeper with some of my friendships. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 We didn't lose them due to COVID but during lockdowns. No celebration has happened yet as we are waiting until it's safe to gather as family and friends. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 To not start doom scrolling on social media and that all the lessons taught on digital literacy meant nothing in the face of misinformation. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 To always have a back-up plan or prepared plan somewhere in planning. Think that there's a bad weather storm in the future and stock up on necessities. More than stocking up though, to build connections with neighbors and friends now, so when the needs are great your community is there for each other. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I wish it would change how we as a society view health care, food insecurity, and safety nets for our community. We have a chance to learn from the broken systems and fix them so more people are not falling through the cracks, but I fear that we won't do anything in order to get back to what convinces we had before things went crazy.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 70 Date 03/13/2021 Location The location of the interview Albany NY When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Mid March 2020. Not sure there was much change in this interval.. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Still not seeing friends or family, no restaurants, movies, stay in touch online mostly. Only shop in person when absolutely necessary. Feeling very lonely. Also more aware of current events. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Fearful, isolated, anxious, hard to get along with partner who is less concerned. Meditation, keeping busy to distract myself, is a help. Try to be outdoors as much as possible in warm weather as it relaxes me greatly. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 More friendliness and willingness to help others in some people, but also selfish and uncooperative attitudes about taking safety precautions on the part of others. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 No Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 No Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 No Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 No If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 No How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Only for email and texting friends and relatives. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 No Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Have 2 cats. Did not adopt since pandemic started. They are a great source of happiness. Don't know how I would get by without them. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Very little due to feeling quite vulnerable. Suspended one volunteer activity I felt was too risky. There's been fairly good outreach in Albany to ensure needs are met and plenty of virtual events which I'm sure many have enjoyed. Lots of effort to support local restaurants, too. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 No If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 No What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How long it would last. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Good question! This whole event would have been less traumatic if we'd had competant leadership at the very top in this country from the start. In addition to all the the worrisome issues related directly to the pandemic, I found it terrifying that it seemed that the federal government's response was totally chaotic, and largely uninformed under Trump. So I would say, future generations should listen closely to politicians running for office and vote wisely as if your life depended on it. Also, trust science, and figure out how to differentiate between truth and lies. Also, make sure health care and medical research are well funded. The pandemic in this country didn't have to be so devastating. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Don't really know. Hard to imagine I would be ready return to pre-pandemic behavior for a long time. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I'm feeling very grateful, even guilty, that my life was not turned upside down as many people's lives were. I'm retired, financially stable, and no kids or parents to worry about. My heart goes out to the many who have suffered in so many ways. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 In late February I heard about occurances outside of our state, then within our state. My reaction was Fear. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My life is in a very small bubble. Believing in the the necessity of precautions, I rarely go out for shopping. Never go out socially and embrace every moment when it's nice enough to be outdoors, to do so. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Now that I've had my first vaccination, am feeling hopeful that some degree of normalcy will return in the near future. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I am surprised and pleased to continue to hear about newly opened small businesses. The ingenuity and drive of people to continue running their small businesses in a safe manner is impressive. I am surprised that there continue to be so many people who are not practising safe social distancing. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Social media has helped me feel less isolated from family and friends. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Sadly missed family/friends' gatherings for holidays, celebrations, and funerals. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have an old cat who has appreciated me being home ALL the time, and the fact that I spend a fair amount of time lounging around reading, so he has easy access to a warm lap. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Early on, felt good about helping with mask making for donations. Was sad to no longer have that need, as it was self-fulfilling, but I am so glad that people were able to eventually have easy access to masks. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Several people I knew contracted COVID. It made COVID more personal. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 Social Media What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 To not take socialization for granted. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Take CDC recommendations very seriously. Choose news reports wisely and don't overdo watching the news. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I would hope that children and their parents will have grown closer and have developed a lasting appreciation of the times together, albeit forced time together. I would hope that whatever positive things families explored during "shut down" will carry on, post-covid restrictions.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 67 Date 03/13/2021 Location The location of the interview Auburn, NY When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March 13, 2020 - Public schools went to a remote-learning model, as did the college for which I teach. Best friend was watching the news constantly and announced that this was "the end of the world as we know it." How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 1. I spend a lot less money because I don't go out to eat, rarely go shopping (not a big on-line shopper), and don't take trips. 2. I don't have family over for gatherings anymore. 3. I don't see people's faces and have a hard time getting to know/recognize others. 4. I have had to become much more tech-savvy. 5. I have not seen my best friend, who lives 2 hrs. away as much as I normally would have. My job has changed dramatically as there are fewer children at school. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I have managed better than many people. I have a very busy life (with two jobs), a large family (lots of facetiming and phone calls), and a number of hobbies. I am a person who enjoys alone time (because I don't get a whole lot of it). I belong to a meditation group that meets weekly and exercise regularly. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 In my workplace, the disconnect that has occurred is simply incredible. We used to be a very close-knit group, but not anymore. The biggest difference I have seen in the community is that businesses have adapted and found other ways to stay afloat. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Maybe? I work in public education, where everyone wears a mask throughout the day, we maintain social distancing, meetings are held via Zoom, and I sanitize everything repeatedly. At home, I don't invite others over, especially no family members for meals. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 N/A Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I teach parttime and have had to put my classes on-line. It was a very big challenge to get everything up and running and were it not for the amazing IT dept. where I work, it would never have become a reality, for me. Although I have adapted, it has been challenging and I greatly miss the face-to-face contact. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 N/A If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 N/A How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I generally do not use social media. I check personal email 1x/day, do not Facebook or any of the other platforms. I do Zooms, facetime to connect to others. Mostly, after spending so much time on the computer because of work, I just want to be off the screen, when I get home. I read. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Yes, there were weddings, two graduations, and a retirement trip that were all postponed Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 N/A What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 The most positive thing about COVID for me, personally, was realizing just how adaptive I can be. My mother always told me I was a survivor and she was so right. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes, one of my adult children, who spent Christmas in the ICU eight hours from here. It was terrifying! If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 N/A What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish there would have been a way to help more people realize early-on that this is "real." I wonder if it would have shortened the duration or allowed more people to stay alive. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I would say, "Get your head out of the sand!" I realize that our political leaders had much to do with people's disbelief, but come on, use the cerebral cortex with which you were born, already! How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 The new normal may be similar to what happened after 9/11 - people may be more likely to believe that "anything can happen." Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I think it is really amazing the way so many different institutions (including the libraries) have stepped up and found a way to be of service and allow people to access them. In some ways, the Pandemic has helped us to see what we're really made of. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 65 Date 03/12/2021 Location The location of the interview Auburn When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I was living and working in South Korea until August of 2020. Korea first became concerned about Covid at the beginning of February and by mid-February, the start of the spring semester (school semesters start in March and September) was in doubt. By the end of February, business had limited opening hours and people were advised to stay home and isolate as much as possible. I also had a teacher-friend working in Wuhan at the time. Wuhan went into lock-down on January 23, 2020. He and his wife were required to stay in their apartment at all times. Food and "care packages" were delivered by the Chinese government to their apartment on a weekly basis by workers dressed in full gear. They had the opportunity to leave in March but because they are citizens of different countries (Ireland and South Africa), they decided to stay put. I have to say that I felt fortunate living in South Korea at the time. The country did NOT lock down or close businesses, but the government took immediate (and transparent) steps to stop the spread. Covid testing was done early and often. Contact tracing was done with everyone who tested positive and people were notified and required (but not forced) to quarantine or isolate if they had been exposed. Schools closed and went to remote learning as early as the beginning of March. Entering a public building, everyone was required to have their temperature taken, and names and phone numbers provided. Of course masks were mandatory everywhere and were worn without complaint. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I moved from South Korea to the US because I had reached Korean retirement age (65) and was unable to continue working in Korea. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I'm good except that I miss teaching and my friends in Korea. I'm the kind of person who is rarely bored. I read, listen to audio books, crochet and play computer games. I also keep up with friends through FaceBook, WhatsApp and a Korean social media app called Kakao Talk. Honestly, I really haven't felt very stressed at all. I've actually been able to do all of the things I love without feeling guilty! :) What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 This is really hard to answer since I only visited the US for 2 weeks every summer and have spent the past 20 year living abroad. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 NA Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 NA Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 Getting Medicare was a huge nightmare!!! I went for 3 months with no health insurance at all. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 No, because I found I ABSOLUTELY HATED online teaching. I've just had my 2nd covid vaccine and plan to apply for part-time work at some after-school programs in 2 weeks. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 NA If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 NA How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I used FaceBook a LOT in February and March to let my friends know what was REALLY happening in both Korea and Wuhan. There was a LOT of false information out there at the time and since my Wuhan friend and I were in the midst of it, we knew first hand how things were going. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Yes. My Mom passed away (not from Covid...she was 95) at the end of May and I was unable to come to her service. My brother is the only one still living in Auburn so he and his family were the only people at the service, but my nephew shared it with the rest of the family through zoom. We haven't yet had any type of memorial for her, but it actually was exactly the way she wanted it. She gave us a letter years ago saying that she didn't want a service, no calling hours, just a short ceremony with close family. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 NA What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 NA Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 NA If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 See #19 What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Please forgive me for being rude, but I didn't realize how lacking many Americans were in their knowledge of science and logical thinking. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 You CAN breathe if you wear a mask. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Right now, just reading that two people stood "3 feet apart" makes me want to yell "6 feet!!!". I'm not sure if/when that will change. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 I'd be glad to talk more to someone about my very different "Covid Experience".

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Date 03/10/2021 Location The location of the interview Lake Pleasant When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I first heard about Covid in December of 2019 and initially thought it would be like Ebola or Swine Flu were it would be localized in poorer regions that could not afford proper healthcare. It wasn't until February 2020 where I saw the global ramifications of COVID-19. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 It has hit me hard financially. I perform at local restaurants and with COVID-19 shutting places down and the restrictions that came soon after. I lost a substantial amount of income and that put a lot of pressure on me to skimp on medical treatments, food and other areas just to pay the bills. Life is still hard now even as restrictions are slowly being lifted How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 During the winter, things were very difficult with some COVID-19 scares and precautionary quarantining even during the holidays. Although we had a Christmas miracle when my father who was quarantining as a precaution was told he was cleared and what looked to be a lonely Christmas became a family Christmas again. As the snow melts and things get warmer, walking and hiking have been my main way to relieve stress along with music and reading. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 With the lack of bars, I have noticed a dramatic dip in seeing people I would see almost everyday at the pub. What has surprised me is the amount of people who have taken the time to revaluate their lives and change for the better now that they had the time to really work at it while things were shut down. It will be interesting if this trend continues as we continue to lift restrictions. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 I own an internet radio station and it has been a difficult year. Although listenership is at an all-time high, people don't have the money to spend on ads and merchandise to help support the station. I have mostly had to rely on contracts to keep afloat. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I work at the local library as a library aide and we have taken some precautions such as glass barriers, hand sanitizers for employees and patrons and quarantining books that have come in. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I was laid off for a few weeks until we could figure out how to distribute books safely. I don't work enough for partial unemployment and luckily I have Medicaid Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Trying to get broadband internet is like trying to pull teeth so I have not been able to work at home because of it. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 I do not If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 I was not How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 We are currently trying to raise money by doing a music tournament on Facebook. It has gone very well. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 I got to attend a Facebook wedding which was fun in its own way because we got to drink beer just like the groom would of wanted. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have two cats and unfortunately my dog died during the pandemic and it really affected my mood. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I am trying to donate money to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. I have read much more and have connected to people I haven't talked to in years. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Luckily everyone in my family has not gotten COVID-19 If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 I have not lost anyone to COVID What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How to better prepare for a pandemic. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Listen to the CDC and scientists, they know what they are talking about. Do you research with peer reviewed studies and medical journals. Things will get better. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think that we will be more conscious of others when we are sick, possibly adopting the Japanese policy of wearing masks when you are sick.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Date 03/09/2021 Location The location of the interview Adirondack, NY When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 My first encounter was working as a nurse in the hospital. Getting those first patients was extremely scary and stressful. It was the most sobering event of my 35 year nursing career . How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Missing seeing friends and family, but grateful to have my health . How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Feeling fine, grateful, and spending a lot of time outdoors. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People’s attitude towards wearing masks has changed. It’s now just a daily fact of life. Most people complying and doing the right thing protecting fellow citizens. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 RN at the bedside. Extreme isolation precautions and practicing good hand washing at home as well . How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Mostly to keep in touch with friends, family, and colleagues. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I feel very fortunate to have not contracted it considering I took care of seriously ill COVID patients in the hospital for many months. I know many people who have contracted it. Sadly, I lost 2 coworkers to the illness. Others have had a range of mild to moderate symptoms, and are doing ok. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 Since they were coworkers, the hospital had memorials for them, and invited their families. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish we knew how contagious and serious it would be. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 This pandemic was no joke. Don’t believe the people who claim it was a hoax. I saw first hand the seriousness of this virus and feel as Americans we need to continue to be vigilant. I think the best preparation is prevention. Get vaccinated and I think we will be better handwashers from now on. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think we will continue to wear masks for a long time. Let’s continue to wash our hands before and after being in public places. (Which we should probably have been doing in the first place. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 This pandemic has pushed me and a lot of people to make some life changes and to appreciate the simpler things in life. Appreciate and love your neighbor.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Date 03/09/2021 Location The location of the interview Weedsport, NY USA When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 When the library where I work had to close because of the risks caused by the virus, mid-March 2020, that was when the impact first hit me. Finding out about the first case in my town heightened my fears immensely. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I always wear a mask now. I fear for the life of myself and my loved ones; I'm scared to go to malls and events and to go sit and eat at a restaurant. Not just because of the virus itself, but because of the anti-Asian sentiment that is growing in the United States and around the world. I fear that people will unjustly blame my mother and/or myself for the virus. I fear there are people who will want to do us harm because we are Asian and they blame Asians for the existence of COVID-19. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am sad and frustrated at people who refuse to follow common sense and wear masks. People who don't respect social distancing rules or who otherwise go about blatantly ignoring those who are at more risk than they of dying from COVID-19, people who even deny the existence of the virus - these people cause me so much anger. To relieve stress, I try to journal or listen to my favorite music. I communicate with online communities with like-minded individuals who share my thoughts about COVID-19, but who will also challenge me to think critically so my beliefs won't swirl around in an echo chamber. I get comfort from being around intelligent people. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I think some people have become more understanding of those who had "less than" before the pandemic started. They know how frustrating it is to not be able to go out shopping or eating at a restaurant because of financial impacts. I'm surprised at how few people I've encountered through my job who refuse to wear masks. I'm sadly *not* surprised at how many people still wear them incorrectly, however. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I'm not considered an "essential employee", but I work at a library where I have to face the public every day. Everyone who enters the building must use hand sanitizer when they enter and when they leave. If they use a computer, they are responsible for sanitizing the area after they are done. Staff cleans shared surfaces frequently. Everyone must wear masks and social distance. I'm making sure that at the very least when I come home from work, I change my clothes, wash my hands, and sanitize my phone and watch. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I am using social media, the Internet, and digital platforms to stay connected to friends and like-minded individuals. This is the only social interaction besides work that I allow myself as it is much safer than meeting people in person right now. I try to avoid the news as much as possible unless I'm looking for specific information because seeing the frankly dumb things people have done during the pandemic is frustrating, upsetting, and depressing. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 The birthdays of myself and both parents happened during quarantine. For myself, at least, I was planning on meeting with friends and having a party - something that as an introvert I wouldn't normally do. I had planned for 2020 to be the year that I would be more outgoing and try new things, maybe travel and eat new foods and meet new people. But for obvious reasons, I was not able to do any of this. We celebrated birthdays at home, but luckily we were able to get curbside takeout food. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I own a bird. Seeing their "personality" and silly antics brings a smile to my face. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 People I'm friends with online had been diagnosed with COVID-19. I was scared for them and their families because I knew they were suffering from the effects of the virus. I was scared they might die. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I knew just how foolish people would be - I wish I had known that people would refuse to wear masks and social distance. If they had followed rules and common sense, the pandemic would have been over in a matter of a few months instead of extending into a year or more. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I want future generations to know that people will play politics with their health and safety. I would recommend that even if family or friends don't take precautions to guard against the virus, that they themselves should still do their best to ensure their own safety and those of the people around them. Also, don't hoard toilet paper or any other essential supplies. Take only as much as you need and save the rest for people who truly need it the most. Be prepared to confront loved ones who don't take the risk of COVID-19 seriously. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think the "new normal" will include wearing masks all the time, not just for the benefit of reducing the transmission of germs, but also to protect against allergens and pollution. I feel that some people will have learned important lessons about themselves and what they want out of life, for having been in quarantine/lockdown/having to endure restrictions has given them time to contemplate such things. But others will still go on as they were before the pandemic, sadly. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Question 2 I miss weekly coffee with my best friends. Wearing a mask everywhere and dealing with fogging glasses. Not eating in restaurants. No traveling. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am okay. I have Seasonal Affective Disorder so on top of the stress from worrying about covid, I think I am doing fine. I watch a few more movies, take a few more naps. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 We had to work from home from March 23 to July 1st. It was a hard adjustment. We only planned a few weeks, but it turned into months. I had to purchase a better office chair, stop stress eating and learn to take a breather for my self. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Social time with friends and family. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 To get a stock pile of toilet paper, yeast, and flour on hand before hand.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Date 03/07/2021 Location The location of the interview Owasco, NY USA When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Because I listen to a lot of news, I first heard about COVID-19 when it was still in China. However, I remember being outside on a star filled winter night with my dog, the day in March 2020, when the shutdown began. As I looked at the stars, I wondered where this pandemic would take us and what was circulating in the air. Since I live outside of the city of Auburn, NY, the first cases in the area were isolated and not very close. I made masks, wiped down my groceries, had others pick up groceries, and stayed home. My husband has a heart condition, so we stayed pretty isolated as we knew that if he came down with Covid-19, it would kill him. We are both retired. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 The beginning of February 2020, due to circumstances completely unrelated to Covid-19, our oldest daughter, her husband, and two daughters ages 3 and 7 months moved in with us, while they looked for new employment in this area. When the pandemic hit we all got a little cozier as we could no longer participate in the activities we had signed up for like children's story time at the library, swimming at the YMCA, eating out, going to a movie, going to PlaySpace (a children's activity center in town) etc. Our daughter and son-in-law did our grocery shopping and we had limited appointments. With the approach of spring and summer, we were grateful to be outside and giving the children space to play. In September, our 3 year old granddaughter was able to start a pre-school program going five days a week. We are very grateful that she has had the ability to interact with other children during this time. The pre-school went remote during January when cases were high in the area. My life now centers around taking care of our granddaughters, cooking meals for my enlarged family, and trying to maintain some sort of normalcy in a house that is overcrowded with four adults, two very active grandchildren and an overly excitable dog, when we can't really go anywhere. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am feeling stressed. Last year, my family signed up for several virtual challenges and walked or biked for miles and miles (only around our neighborhood). One was a virtual run around all of the finger lakes...over 400 miles. I completed that one, but injured my foot at the end of it. Then over the winter, my husbands extended family started a virtual challenge to walk across the USA stopping at different relatives homes along the way. I started that one, but phased out a few weeks ago, preferring to nap when the girls napped and letting the winter blahs set in. I hope to start another activity when the weather is better. I also signed up to take a couple of on line spirituality classes along with a friend. The first one I enjoyed. The one still ongoing, I have found difficult to keep up with as I am more involved in childcare. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 As a retired minister, I have missed church in person, but I am very impressed with how the church I attend has continued to be an active force in the community. I am sad to see some businesses close. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 No. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 No. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 No. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 In January 2021, our daughter and son-in-law began new jobs. Our daughter's job is totally remote and our son-in-law is three days a week in office and two remote. They are looking to relocate closer to his work, but until they can find a place to live, they are in our house, and my husband and I have become babysitters to our grandchildren while their parents work. I am glad that I had my children when I was much younger, but I appreciate all that the young parents today are going through. The now 4 year old and 21 month old are a buzz of activity and require planned activities to keep their busy minds focused. I am looking forward to spring and summer and outdoor activities, even though we go outside some in the winter, it is not for extended periods. I am exhausted, but love the opportunity to love and watch my granddaughters grow. I know I am blessed by their presence as so many of my friends can't see their grandchildren. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I Zoom every other week with my siblings and have participated in Zoom gatherings with some church friends. I also have more video chats with my other two daughters. My 7 year old grandson has read stories to us and we have celebrated birthdays virtually. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Family gatherings, such as my annual 4th of July family reunion of 80-90 people, all holiday dinners with family (Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas), trips we had planned to Spain, Portugal, and Scandinavia, and a 2021 winter trip to Florida, and family visits at my husband's family camp on Owasco Lake. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have a two year old golden doodle, who has kept me going outside everyday, until this winter, when I could let her out on her own. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 We went through three times where we became aware of potential exposure to Covid-19. The most threatening was a dental assistant when my husband had some surgery. He was quarantined in our bedroom for two weeks while the rest of us stayed away. I slept on the couch. He was fine. Also a distant relative of mine, came down with Covid-19 in March 2020. He was on a ventilator for three weeks and only in December was he beginning to feel healthy again. We are grateful he survived as it was early in the pandemic and treatment seemed to be trial by error at best. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 People I know have died from other causes than Covid-19 and I have been able to attend their memorial services virtually through the church website. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Pay attention to the world beyond your corner of the world and learn from the science studying what is going on. Above all elect leaders who trust in the science and are forward thinking. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think it will be awhile before we all feel comfortable being in crowds again. I do hope that we will soon be able to have gatherings with friends and family without masks and planty of hugs!

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Date 03/06/2021 Location The location of the interview Granville When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 When the country band and Line dancing that I was enjoying stopped. Also when forced to wear mask everywhere I went. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I feel as if I have been imprisoned fr a year now and resent the stupidity of many that agree to live i fear while they allow the government to literally control their daily living. The public is fed lies and hype in order to keep them scared and under control. I refuse to live in fear. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am angry wit the way so many have been so wiling to give up their rights for a virus that may be no worse than the flu, SARS, H1N1, or the Spanish Flu of years ago. By the way, this virus is SARS with a twist. Manufactured in a high level viral factory or lab in Wuhan,China. This was intentional. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 So many small businesses have been forced to close permanently. The livlihood of those still struggling to stay open, and only able to do half of the normal business daily that they did before this plague. I am surprised to see gullible people creating lung issues by wearing those useless masks outdoors. That is where the normal oxygen flow is essential to healthy lung function. The average American is sucking in too much carbon dioxide which is expelled by the lungs after oxygen intake. Remember when mask and hoodies were not permitted when going int banks? We are all being separated, being led to "tell on your neighbor", and giving up our God given rights guaranteed by the Constitution and Bill of Rights. United we stand, divided we fall. Our young people are being forced into depression, as well as those in nursing homes that cannot hold or hug their loved ones. Every year we have new viruses, and new strains of flu, but we do not go into hiding or wear face coverings. The common cold is a covid virus. I am very afraid that we as a nation,and a people have been set up and sold out Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 Not an essential employee. Home is normal as usual Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I substitute teach, could not work for months. I did not make enough to qualify for unemployment. I am doing some subbing now Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 n/a How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I use message and text with friends and family Once in a while video chat. Did go away for Christmas No one and nothing was gong to stop that. I stay away from managed news now as I am tired of being lied to and treated as if I am too dumb to comprehend what they are doing to us. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 I refused to Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have animals but adopted them before the plague hit What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I tried to stay upbeat and busy Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 My daughter in law got it and came through it just fine. Another fried,who also worked in a nursing home,got it and came through just fine. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 How it would affect our election system, and throw this country into chaos, which was fed by the ignorant and managed media. Now our country is on a very dangerous slippery slope. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 How do you prepare people for something they have never gone through before? I would not shut the country down. Take better sanitary precautions, take vitamins and minerals, eat healthy,and exercise on a regular basis How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I do not want a new normal The old one was just fine Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Just asking people to wake up. Realize you are on the same edge that Germany was on before the Nazi takeover. Read your history. Teach your kids,true history. Teach them to really read. The find a copy of the Constitution and Bill of Rights and have them memorize both. Also have a Bible in the home and teach them that God does exist and is in charge of this world, even when it does not look like it. We are a Christian-Judeo nation and freedom of religion does not mean that another migrates here an "appears to be offended by ours." That is not freedom of religion.. We are being segregated, pitted against one another, and led over the cliff by a bunch of Judas goats. Please open your eyes and seek truth.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Date 03/04/2021 Location The location of the interview Newfield, NY USA Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 COVID Cat I remember the last up-to-then normal day we had. Friday, March 13th, 2020. Typically, my son Greyson attended school and I attended work. Now, as an island of two, we attend to both those things mostly from the confines of home. I had an awareness of COVID-19 and probably even more planning insight than most average citizens due to my work role, but nothing prepared my son or I for the life-changing nature of what was beginning. Now, nine months in and the year 2020 drawing to a close, we still live in this never-normal hyper-vigilant altered state, still stressed and uncertain in daily life. I recall early in the pandemic my son’s fifth-grade teacher asked he write a letter to a student in the future about current events. After fighting with the new Chromebook I thankfully had the foresight to purchase (I WISH I had thought about toilet paper too), he had a letter to turn in through Microsoft Teams - if we could navigate correctly and convince our intermittent hot spot to comply. A letter conveying his greatest fear – that his mother or his grandparents he loved could die from COVID. A letter that also contained a small hope he clung to – hinging on a study he read about that people with type O-negative blood, which we both have, were less likely to contract COVID-19. I have no idea if the study was ever proven or disproven. I would never have told him things like that were changing at such a rapid rate it was not a guarantee. He saw that as protection, for he and I, and I wanted that feeling of protection for him. I remember crying alone in the bathroom with the shower running later that night. I was overwhelmed by all the factors in play and that my son had just grown in knowledge in a way I did not want for him at his age. Our world shrunk. My previously minimal single-parent support system vanished by necessity. Days upon days, monotonous in routine and infuriating in the attempt to facilitate elementary school while simultaneously managing the chaos of directing essential service staff and safeguarding employee health. The expectation of normalcy for work and school was crushing and all-consuming. Juggling all that continues still. There is no good answer, no easy path through. There is also no other choice to make but to toil forward on all fronts in tandem. Also, interwoven into our desolation is gratitude. I am thankful for a role allowing me to function and keep employment and income while caring for and educating my child. As his sole caretaker, I was not forced to choose an impossible priority and I am grateful for that. I am appreciative to be in a position to minimize COVID exposure, maximize stability for both of us and feel a modicum of control in an uncontrollable world. I am also conscious of the privilege of property. We are lucky (aside from internet connectivity challenges) to live remotely with acreage and space. I’ve thought of that blessing so many times as I see people in cities trapped indoors in small spaces throughout the pandemic. Nature is our daily respite and provider of a bit of sanity. We row our pond, walk our woods and watch and appreciate our animal neighbors constantly. It is into this backdrop the most unexpected bringer of hope and purpose wandered. Living off the road and nestled among fields as we do, simply looking out the window provides live entertainment. We witness feeding flocks of turkey parading through the landscape, preening cardinals, wandering skunks and opossum, and deer in the front yard wondering at our audacity to dare open the door and sit on the porch. We also get our fair share of vagabond cats hunting through the fields. Our two indoor cats live vicarious wild adventures through them, while I appreciate the absence of burdocks and ticks their indoor existence provides. One afternoon at the end of March Greyson came in from outside and noted a very light-colored orangeblush cat we had never seen before was out and about. I was outwardly delighted but internally groaned as I have a soft spot for those “blush boys” since sharing a yard with one in apartment life after college. Having accumulated our current two indoor cats from the neighborhood previously, and not looking to add to the masses, I knew the need for caution. I peeked outside and indeed saw a blush boy running through, happy to note he seemed entirely uninterested in human interaction. Phew, a narrow miss for me! We went on with our daily duties. The cats second appearance in as many days was not so uneventful. Greyson came in and grabbing the binoculars told me he thought the cat was hurt. I joined him and saw something I had never seen prior. The cats’ tail had been completely skinned away leaving clearly visible the full-length bone. His back end looked like a Halloween skeleton cat and I was horrified to think how much pain the animal must be in with that exposure. I had never seen such a severe animal injury before and hope not to again. I couldn’t believe he was managing to survive. He was scrawny and unkempt with wild, unpredictable eyes and as I approached in a slow, calm manner he bolted in terror into the berm by our distant pond. My son and I looked at each other and knew we would have to try to help. We began putting hard food in a dish outside the berm and thus began an eight-month rescue effort. I steeled myself and prepared my son for the possibility that any given day the cat might not show, that he might die from his injury and we would not know what became of him. The depth of his feral nature became apparent in the coming weeks, that turned to months, as we walked at least twice a day to the feeding station we established for his use. We watched him, spoke and cooed to him and attempted approach to no avail. Periodically the poor animal would gnaw away a portion of the tail and managed to keep it from infection. His tail continued to get shorter, but of course never healed. I cannot imagine the instinct and determination it took to do what he did to survive - and from that his name was born. We called him Mr. BAB – short for Bad Ass Blush. The name suited him. Early in our endeavor I set a trail cam to catch a good glimpse of BAB and contacted animal control. Their vets reviewed photos and declared the cat was doing as well as he could given the situation. I received advice on live trapping in hopes to get him to their feral program which could perform the needed amputation surgery. They informed me surgery days were Wednesday’s and they would keep an open spot for me when I could get him to them. A helpful neighbor loaned a live trap and we managed to confine several agitated strays and neighboring cats, but not Mr. BAB. That guy was too savvy. The sheer number of configurations and locations attempted escapes me now. I do know we had names for all the wanderers coming through and our binoculars got the workout of their life in those months hoping to see the trap sprung. We, at times, or I solo, looked to those daily walks as a needed distraction. A moment of solitude, feeling useful and hopeful amongst the constant clutter in life and my brain. It was simple and at the same time a bright spot in each day. Because each day that cat showed up. Each day my son, and occasionally the two other children in our pod, would hunt through the berm, where we now knew BAB to be living, confirming sign of life. He became a neighborhood effort. Sightings were reported. Social media bore witness. People inquired as to his well-being. We collectively were pulling for this beast – something we could try to achieve in COVID world madness. We eventually retired the live trap as it was apparent, we were not going to succeed in that manner with this shrewd cat. I slowly moved the feeding station closer to our yard, then into our yard, next to near the rabbit hutches, eventually by the house. It took months. But in those months Mr. BAB became my cat. I became his person. He would come when I called him for meals, play with the ball or stick I rolled in his direction (he loves to play), wait on his moss-covered rock in the rose bush for me to come outside so he could give me a very quiet “mew”. He became integrated into life. We moved at a snail pace, but we moved. He began accepting soft food and treats, eaten only while he could keep me in line of sight. He started occupying shared space in the yard, watching my father and I build hutch after bunny hutch for six weeks straight in our spare time. Still, he was ever watchful no one strayed too near. As summer faded to fall it was difficult to see him make do in the chill or rain and know he was still too stubborn and afraid to accept assistance. I knew the weather was accelerating our necessary timeline to get the surgery he needed. Frostbite would do him in with an open wound. I borrowed the live trap once again with no better luck. I moved to leaving a carrier in the yard, trying to lure him in with food or treats. Several times he got close to entirely entering but then spooked. It was like I could see on his face the internal war he was fighting with himself – fear vs. need, we can all identify. He showed his appreciation to me in small ways. His quiet greetings, following me at a distance while I moved around the yard and flopping on the ground to do rolls of happiness – but I better not move toward him or he was gone. And then one chilly day in November he was dancing around me and accidentally allowed my fingers to just barely touch his back. He winced, but from that day on he moved to eventually allow me to pet him. That next week was even colder and I knew I had to capture the elusive Mr. BAB – it just had to happen. He still had only allowed me to touch him a few times but on a Tuesday morning I got a really large carrier and put his morning food portion in it with a trail of treats. He was suspicious but he went in just far enough and I managed to move just fast enough that I corralled him. Finally. The SPCA Feral program staff were wonderful. I had kept in touch with them periodically throughout the eight months and when I called to say I finally had custody of the cat they had me bring him right in for surgery the following morning. Despite COVID considerations and distancing procedures they were still serving the community need. As Greyson and I drove to the shelter I could tell Mr. BAB was no longer speaking to me and the look of betrayal was harsh, but it did not matter because we had succeeded in making a difference for him. We had saved this cat and it felt important and well worth the effort. The staff did an assessment and declared he was indeed feral. I had been concerned about how they would be able to help him but had focused on my part – getting him to them. The rest was up to them. I felt a sense of relief that he would finally not live his life around simply surviving. The Feral Programused items I did not even know existed (like imitation arms and a feral box) to complete the necessary surgery despite his noncompliance. They amputated his tail properly, neutered him, treated him for worms and mites, applied flea and tick repellant and even microchipped him. They clipped his ear to identify him as a feral already neutered, and then they sent him packing back to me two days later to be released back to his territory after as many days recovering in my shed as he would tolerate. He still was not speaking to me and continued his silent treatment the entire seven days of shed captivity. I warned Greyson he may bolt as soon as I opened the door to let him out, that even if he did and we never saw him again we had still done the right thing. I opened the door and sat twenty feet away to watch. BAB had become king of the lawnmower seat during his stay and after a moment he stretched, crawled down, and came out into the sunshine. He didn’t run. He got reacquainted with the yard and then perched on his mossy rock where he let me pet him while he purred like a madman. It was also the day he let Greyson touch him for the first time. Now Greyson has moved from observer and reporter of BAB movement to an active, if somewhat tentative, friend. Fabulous BABulous, one of the many nicknames we now use, has healed well. He has also blossomed as his injury has faded. I would say he has firmly moved into an area under our raised porch, we have outfitted for his needs. His life is still very much on his terms. He refuses the specifically constructed insulated box I carefully made, instead choosing two cardboard boxes I jammed together early on to sleep in. So, I have creatively insulated those on the exterior instead. Although he maintains his lone wolf status, he is my constant companion when I am outdoors, and waits every morning for his pet and purr sessions. He now walks daily on our walks with us as a companion, instead of a destination. He is an amusing gentleman and a welcome addition to our solitary existence. For Greyson and I, our shared rescue effort through this completely unimaginable time in history has been the most rewarding experience we have had during a very long year. It kept a focus on something tangible, something we could understand in confusing times. BAB was a daily reminder to be present in our actual physical surroundings and find humor and joy in simple things. The experience taught my son, and reminded me, to be selfless and patient. To give freely of yourself with no expectation of outcome. To adapt and allow room for others perspective, even if feline. To work through things we could not control and work within the pieces we could. Ultimately, regardless of two feet or four, we each grew in experience and share a bond. These fundamental threads of connection are the foundation of life and weaving them during our most isolated time has kept us grounded when everything else has felt insane and otherworldly. Many people have intentionally added pets to their lives during the COVID pandemic. I suppose we have acquired something similar and are all better for it.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I was a sophomore in High School when school ended due to the virus. I was excited for school to be out, thinking it would be a week or two, but little did I know it would strip away my social and school life. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I have become a lot more grateful for what I usually have access to, compared to when it was striped away. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel okay in regards to the pandemic. I chose to come back on campus for my Junior year but covid and the stressors of applying to college do not accompany each other well. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People have moved down to my state causing a lot of controversy. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 Yes. My family consists of entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, we lost a lot of business and it took a toll on how our community was brought together through that. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am considered an essential employee. Since the mask mandate has been lifted, my work offers the choice to wear or not wear the mask. I do whatever I feel makes the customers feel most comfortable. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 No. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 No. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 School was canceled towards the end of my sophomore year, but my Junior year was back in session. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I hate it. Especially for school. I am in person because I feel like online school is a joke and nobody focuses or learns anything from it. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Yes. My Junior year of Prom was not present and I can not attend my bestfriend's (a sister to me) graduation, nor move her in to her local college. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have two pets and they comfort me the same they have always. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 During the pandemic I took on focusing more on things that I enjoy doing such as cooking (the photo pictured above). Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I never got COVID-19 through the pandemic. Some people I know got it, but felt fine after a week. It did not stress me out because most teenagers immune systems are strong enough to fight off the virus. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 I did not lose anybody. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That it would last this long. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Do not lose focus on what is important in life: family, school, friends. It can all be taken away from you instantly. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think everything will go back to normal, it has been since the vaccine has been released. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 The impact of COVID-19 first occurred to me in early March of 2020 during of grade field trip to D.C when some students decided to wear masks on the plane and throughout our trip. From that moment to now, I realized how much COVID has changed. Looking back to last year, we were all confused on way they were wearing masks and what COVID was. Now I've realized that COVID-19 is a serious disease that has changed the life of many in my home town. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Currently, I'm feeling great. One way I do to relieve stress is spending time outdoors like going for a walk and spending time at the beach. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 N/A Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 N/A Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance?

Question 9 N/A If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 Yes, my school was canceled March-May 2020. I had to complete my 8th-grade year online. Currently, I go to school in person as of September 2020-present day. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I use my social media the same as I did before the pandemic. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Yes, I had my 8th-grade graduation postponed and some other major family events. We had to move all the events online. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 During the pandemic, my family and I adopted a dog from a local shelter. He (dog) has impacted my family by creating happiness. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes, someone, I knew contracted COVID-19. During that process, I was worried for them because I didn't know what the outcome would be. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 N/A What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Make sure to have supplies (toilet paper, sanitizing wipes, etc) What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I want future generations to know that the 2020 pandemic was a very serious thing that happened to the world that caused an everlasting change. I recommend that they understand that lots of things happened during the past year before trying to learn about it. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 After the pandemic life, I think life will slowly come back to "normal". Some people might never want to do "common" things ever again such as attend large gatherings, give hugs, not wear a mask, etc. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 17 Date 05/03/2021 Location The location of the interview Delray Beach / Florida / USA When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 The impact of covid first occurred to me when my dad got it when he was visiting Brazil for work. Previous to that, I had not known anyone who had gotten the virus and did not know the repercussions. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My life has changed drastically in all senses, starting with the distance learning experience, which has completely changed the way my school does everything. Also, a lot of my friends had to go back to their native countries and have been stuck there since then, thus, I have not been able to see them for over a year now. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am feeling anxious and on edge all the time, the only way I found to relieve stress was to start going to the gym, it has really helped me with my mental health. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 A lot of people became very cautious and took the necessary precautions introduced by the WHO and/or the CDC. However, since I live in Florida, a lot of people still do not take the virus seriously. In fact, a few weeks ago there was an anti-mask protest in my city. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 n/a Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 n/a Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 n/a Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 n/a Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 n/a If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 My school was not cancelled but it changed a whole lot since the start of the pandemic due to the distance learning model. It was extremely hard for me to complete my studies because it all felt so optional when in fact it was not. Furthermore, I was not in a very good place mentally due to the consequences of the pandemic. I will certainly be back on campus in the fall. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Social media has become a part of my routine and I hate it, it makes me feel useless and even exploited because I know I should not be scrolling mindlessly on social media yet I still am. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Yes, I had to postpone a spring break vacation to Brazil, my home country. I was going there to see my family whom I have not seen in nearly 2 years and a lot of my friends that I also miss a lot. Instead of going to Brazil, I stayed in Florida and did nothing during my spring break. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I had a french bulldog but he died during the summer of 2020, the year the pandemic started. This took a heavy toll on me since I had to process my beloved pet's death as well as everything else going on with the novel COVID-19. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I noticed that because of these trying times, people became physically distant, however, they were much closer emotionally speaking. Everyone was going through the same thing and I feel like people got hit with a wave of empathy. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 My dad contracted COVID-19 when he was in Brazil, I am not able to describe in detail what it was like since I was not there to support him. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 n/a What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I knew how important it is to master the skill of managing your own time, which was hard for me to do because of my ADHD, which got worse during the pandemic. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I would recommend future generations prepare for a pandemic by strictly following the CDC/WHO guidelines and not politicizing the issue. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I feel like most people now have gotten used to maintaining a certain distance from other people at all times now. People will not be hugging and shaking hands as much now. And hopefully, people start wearing masks even when they have the flu in order to protect other people around them. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 My high school best friend’s father died last year in early April. He died alone in the hospital. Family could not even attend his burial. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Fewer interactions with others. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Fine. I remember my blessings and turn to the beautiful natural environment for calming. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 The community feels about the same. Not sure if people understand the impact of every person’s behavior upon others. Distancing and mask wearing. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 N/A Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 N/A Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 N/A Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 N/A Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 N/A If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 N/A How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 For everything and every day. Read more books via Libby. Buy more essential goods online and interact with others via Zoom, etc Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Yes. Sent wishes via mail, Facebook, Zoom Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 N/A What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Keeping a good attitude and being grateful. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes. A best friend. She contracted it last November and is still struggling with tiredness and memory loss. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 N/A What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Not sure anything would have made a difference. It is the aftermath I wish was treated differently. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 The politicalization of the virus was a disgrace and should not have become the excuse for not caring about the impact of personal actions upon others. We are in this together and the personal sacrifice of wearing a mask and distancing is a small price. Other generations sacrificed so much more during times of crisis and need. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Hopefully we will be more grateful and caring about others. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 The number of lives we have lost speaks to the indifference and mishandling of the pandemic early on. This is a travesty. May we never be so selfish and uncaring ever again. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March of 2020 when my work as a foreign language tutor was cut when we were sent off. At that time I had no idea what we were dealing with. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Before the pandemic oh, I went out of the house at least three times a week. Now I go on errands maybe twice a week maybe not even and to be honest I miss going out and meeting with my friends restaurants where we could enjoy each other's company. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I'm doing okay at a rate of 85 out of 100. I am a creative writer so I do writing mostly poetry these days, though I did do a research paper that was not assigned by a professor on the topic of how to wash dishes sanitarily without using dish soap. I had fun with that. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Oddly enough, my neighbors and people in my neighborhood seemed a bit more friendly done before the pandemic which I guess is a surprise to me. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I use social media the same as I always did before the pandemic so that has not changed much. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 I've been lucky in that I have no plans that would have to have been postponed. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I'm always trying to see things in a positive light as much as possible. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I've had several friends who contracted covid one of which passed away. In a way, some of my friends and I are still dealing with this. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 Most of us posted to our SNS with tributes for this person. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 This is very hard to answer as I'm really not into being normal because I'd rather be unique. Just like most of my friends and we are okay with that.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 50 Date 04/15/2021 Location The location of the interview Rensselaer When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 It was the second week of March, COVID was becoming a big deal both in the news and at my job. My boss at the time had daily meetings and I was on a team to communicate messages and resources to staff. I was worried that that COVID could explode with the daily cases rising and news of closures and staff, including myself being able to work from home.. I got very nervous when the cases from downstate appeared in my area because I have pre-existing health conditions. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 For now, I work from home and wear a mask when in public and sometimes around friends and family. I don't go hangout with people, I don't like to eat inside restaurants and clean things more thoroughly now. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel both hopeful that when I am vaccinated, I am protected from getting COVID, but very anxious in the sudden return to how things were prior to COVID. My stress levels change each day, and I try to tell myself I am lucky and have my health. I take walks around the neighborhood, have done some decluttering in my house and keep my regular work hours and a consistent sleep schedule. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 The community tries to help out with residents, i.e. food drives, displaying rainbows or colorful decorations. When the outbreak first happened, the traffic was almost non-existent and saw a lot of folks exercising. However, as time has gone by, vaccines are approved and administered, more things are coming back, including the amount of traffic. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 No Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I was able to obtain a reasonable accommodation to be able to work from home. On the few occasions I have reported to my office, I wen early in the day, wore a face covering, used hand santizer, and kept the time brief. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes, I am working from home. I was able to get a company laptop to use for work purposes. I have to remind family that I am on the clock and close my door when needed as well as occupy or move pets in another location of the house to limit distractions. I enjoy working from home, however, I feel my career ambitions have taken a beating with not being "visible" on the floor to management, and I have a team member that sometimes doesn't fully communicate things, causing more confusion. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 No If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 N/A How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I use social media to catch up with family and friends, as well as research and learn new things, and also sell items I no longer need. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 I chose not to attend any large or family gatherings even outside, to remain safe. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have two cats and two dogs pre-COVID. Although they have their own personalities and moments, they have provided a comfort to me and keep me going. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I enjoy being home and around for any home improvements. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I know of some people that did contract COVID-19, they needed to quarantine and did have mild symptoms, but since, have recovered. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 I have been fortunate and haven't lost anyone close to me due to COVID. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I didn't take the job I currently have and have been in for over four years. My physical work location is in a high-rise building on an upper floor. I wasn't a fan of being on the elevators even at that time. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 When possible, make sure you have enough living space, practice good hygiene, be kind to others even when they are not to you, have patience, don't believe what politicians say, but watch their actions, and welcome an opportunity, no matter how bad, to learn and grow. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I am worried that there is pressure on going back to how things were pre-COVID. I think many good things have happened, telecommuting, telemedicine, increased cleaning, and enjoying nature. I do think there should be crowd capacity restrictions for certain events, as well as new ways of doing things, less paper, less rigid structure. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Not at this time.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 At first I was not concerned because it was happening across the country, in the state of Washington. Then it was happening here in NYS. It was scary watching & listening to coverage of the number of people becoming ill with COVID, and even dying from the virus. I was very proud that eventually NYS was able to reduce the number of cases of the virus, including hospitalizations and deaths from it. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I have been at home more, and of course wearing a mask and washing my hands often. Also, trying to keep surfaces, door knobs & handles clean. The activities that I was involved in stopped & are now beginning to start again. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am fine. I was able to get the vaccine. I've been trying to keep myself busy at home, going out for a walk sometime. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I'm retired. I've been at home. However, my husband & son were both working during the pandemic. Lots of other people were having to go to work during the pandemic. It seemed that everyone was making the best of a bad situation. I am happy to see us adapt and reopen. My grandson was able to safely go to school. Lots of people were able to work from home. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 No. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 No. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 No. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 No. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 No. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 I'm not a student. However, I was just able to take an online class & do a lot of things using Zoom. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I use Facebook and always use the Internet. I've also made use of Zoom for a lot of things during the pandemic. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We actually were able to have my nephew's wedding at a reduced capacity. It was held on a farm and partially outside. My husband & I had a day trip/bus trip to NYC planned, in May of 2020. It was canceled. We were able to safely travel to New Hampshire in August/September of 2020. People there were following COVID safety protocols. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Yes, a dog. Our dog was good company to me while I had to be at home & in the house a lot. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I try to help out with a church food pantry and the local food bank. Also, made sandwiches and cookies for an organization that helps the needy and/or homeless. I tried to make small monetary donations to some organizations. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 No. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I guess to understand how the virus started, how it traveled so quickly, got here, and was able to spread so quickly. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 To understand what had to take place in order to create the virus, the ability for it to travel from animals to humans. All the conditions that had to occur, including environmental, to assist in creating the virus. We don't want it to happen again. We lost a lot of people in a short period of time. Knowledge is always power. Learn what you can about what happened with COVID 19. Are there any positive changes we can make as a result? Can we work together and make them? How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 The ability for some people to work from home more often. For some, continuing to wear masks. Increased cleanliness and awareness of germ/virus transmission. Continuing to help others in need. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 We need to care for ourselves, others, and to care for our planet. Working together we're able to do so much. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I was attending college at SUNY Plattsburgh in Plattsburgh, NY, when in March, 2020, rumors began to spread about some dangerous virus. Soon, word was heard that other colleges were sending their students home and then, we were sent home. We had to continue the rest of our semester online. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have one dog named Lucy, and two cats named Silo and Lily. It helps having them around to cope with the loneliness. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 People and communities really began to band together and support each other. Shopping and eating locally was encouraged to support local business owners. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 In January of 2021, my mom tested positive for COVID-19. She was extremely tired and in bed most of the time, had a little fever, and aches all over her body to the point where it hurt her to be in the shower and have the water hit her. Because she tested positive, my dad and I had to quarantine for 14 days. Before that 14 days was up, my dad began to feel sick. He tested positive, and now I was quarantining again with two parents who had COVID-19. My dad had extreme fatigue, a sore throat, and lost his sense of taste. I didn’t have much of a chance being cooped up with them, so in February, I realized that I felt a lot more than usual. I tested positive for COVID-19. I had extreme fatigue, and for the most part, it felt like a really bad cold. I had a sore throat, stuffy nose, fever, and I lost my sense of taste. Losing my taste was the strangest sensation because I could have been handed a dog treat to eat and I wouldn’t have been able to taste it. Eating ice cream was very weird because all I could tell was that it was cold. My taste didn’t come back for about 2 weeks, but I bounced back fairly quickly from the other ailments. My parents were still dealing with the side effects for months after. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 The impact of COVID-19 first occurred to me when i started seeing people wearing masks and hearing about it on just about every news channel. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Now, I feel as though it is harder to connect with individuals then it was before the pandemic which has most certainly changed my everyday life. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Right now I am good but rather stressed considering it is my junior year. A way i like to relive stress is by being physically active and relaxing with my family. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Since the outbreak, people have been more to themselves, rather than interacting with other individuals. Are you a business owner who has had to close?

Question 10 My school has given us the option of hybrid learning, kids could choose if they would like to attended their classes in person or online at home. I believe by the fall, everyone will be back on campus. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 During the pandemic I was definitely on my phone and social media a lot because there was not many things to do while staying home for weeks on end. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Yes my family and I have had to cancel graduation partys and birthday partys instead we would host zooms to celebrate. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Yes, we adopted a puppy and he has put smiles on all of our faces. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I was able to spend more time with family. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes. It was a very scary experience as he was in a coma for 10 days, luckily he was able to recover put it really showed me to not take anything for granted. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 Luckily, I did not loose anyone. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 To not take everyday things for granted. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Not to freak out and that It does get better. And to find some hobbies to pursue while in quarantine. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think it will go back to almost fully normal with our vaccines. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I saw it on the news and the fear it would spread through Asia. When it arrived in New Rochelle I knew we were going to have a problem. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I went through a lot of different emotions through the pandemic. I’m now divorced, solo dad who has to do everything. I’ve found more responsibility while at work with a promotion. But I worked for months out of my house. Now I feel more secure but the world does not. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I’m gaming a lot and trying to check things off my lists. Making time for friends and family really helps. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 We had A big rift between our colleges and our community. I was surprised how deep it went and how rough an experience it was. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 I officiate weddings on the side. Thankfully love is not canceled. My job at the YMCA though that’s another story. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Our college did a lot to keep everyone safe, allow everyone to work at home, and felt like it cared. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 Our college did a lot to keep everyone safe, allow everyone to work at home, and felt like it cared. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 I was laid off from my side gig. The YMCA had no choice. With how things are going for gyms and activities I am not surprised. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 I have two children who spent the majority of lock down here. We’ve had a rough go of it in and out of school, missing friends, and missing what life outside has to offer. We look forward to getting back to some type of normal just for their sake a little. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I am streaming video gaming a Tunmore on twitch. I’ve seen many other platforms that I may not of used otherwise. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Never made it to Washington DC, but we are going to get there. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I would not have gotten through this without the cat at home. Major stress relief. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I feel like we cared about each other from afar a lot more. My children gave the sense of wonder and missed the school district which I never would’ve guessed. We appreciate our time with each other. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I had several family members contract the virus during the pandemic. No immediate family passed away but it was no walk in the park. When My ex got the virus the kids were quarantine with me. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I don’t know if I would’ve been able to prepare for anything. This is not the type of thing that happens all the time or you can even imagine how to feel. I would tell myself I need more toilet paper at home. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Just know that anything can happen, and you can get through anything. We got through itAnd the important thing is to learn from it. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I’m sure masks will be around for a very long time. We will see them in and out of airports on buses and at public events. I also know that some people won’t feel the same about being with other people again. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 How did you smile? That’s something that people needed to ask themselves every day to get through this. Thankfully I am the type of person that loves to laugh. It’s appropriate the last outfit I wore to work before the pandemic took it away for a year plus was an outfit inspired by the joker. Because there are many days I laughed in a way that was probably unhealthy but it got me through it.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I work as a cook in a nursing home, almost as soon as it hit we were donning masks around the facility and implementing hand washing procedures. We had a hard time throughout all of it losing residents and trying to protect the ones we had, while also trying to keep spirits and motivation high. Had Covid-19 tests twice a week durring all of it, and a whole unit dedicated to helping people recover from Covid-19. But I think one of the hardest parts was watching residents deteriorate from lack of social contact, with family. Also celebrating when we finally returned to something as simple as eating in the dining rooms and seeing them all out and socializing again was a large victory. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I think it created an anxiety in all of us at first.amd throughout, being overly aware of every cough and sneeze from ourselves and those around us amped it up, though after being init for so long you almost be desensitized to everything that's going on and all the changes. worrying about family members and not seeing them because of being afraid of getting them sick...I missed thanksgiving and Christmas in 2020....to relieve stress i was lucky enough to work with friends, and to be honest sometimes and drink or two. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Honestly the rudeness And hatefulness towards the workers who are implementing new policy to keep everyone safe in stores and restruants ...I was surprised by the toilet paper hoarding I still don't understand that.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 The impact of COVID-19 first occurred to me in April 2020. When there was the first case in my town, I wasn't very worried because I thought it would be easy to contain if one person had it. At the time when COVID-19 really had an impact, I was very worried for the health of my family and wanted things to go back to normal. As time went on, my anger towards the virus grew. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My life is different now than it was before the pandemic because I have to be very cautious everywhere I go. I can't go anywhere without thinking about the possible effect it might have. Also, before the pandemic, my school was a lot different than it is now due to precautions. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am feeling exhausted and to relieve stress I like to go to the beach or surround myself with other people. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I have noticed that in my community much has changed since the outbreak. Many businesses have shut down completely, as well as many new businesses that have risen. What has surprised me is my community's fight against COVD-19. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am a student at school and my family has all been vaccinated. We are still taking the necessary precautions to stay safe from COVID-19. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 In my school, we have had people do online school and in person. It has been an option for us since September. I think school will return to normal in the fall. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I am using social media, the internet, and digital platforms to find out information about what goes on around the world. SInce the pandemic started, there have been many political events that have taken place. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 I had to postpone Christmas and New Year celebrations. Usually, my family flies to see our other family and has a party to celebrate the holidays, but this year that didn't happen. Instead, we stayed at home and invited only a few friends. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I bought a pet during the pandemic and she made my days a lot better. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I contracted COVID-19. For me personally, it was hard to breathe and I had a fever and chills. I had to stay away from my family which was very hard. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I knew how to be independent before the pandemic began/ What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 I would want future generations to not panic, but be very cautious to contain the spread of the virus. I think the biggest mistake was everyone not doing what they were supposed to and going out. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward because we will hopefully know how to approach a new pandemic if it were to occur.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 39 Date 05/16/2021 Location The location of the interview Papillion, NE When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 We went on a cruise in February of 2020 just before things started shutting down. I remember being annoying at getting sprayed with hand sanitizer by the crew everywhere we went. I’ve generally not been too concerned for myself regarding covid but more concerned about protecting the higher risk family members. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My day to day life didn’t change a lot outside of wearing a mask. I continued to go into work and do the majority of our errands. The lack of travel was the most different as between work and personal I usually end up going several places a year. At this point it has been over a year since I’ve been in a plane. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Anxious a lot! I try and pamper myself and remember to focus on what is important. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 For quite a while there was significantly less traffic. Overall when out and about I actually feel like people are making a point to be more positive in all the random interactions you have. I feel like peoples political views are more apparent in daily life based on their choices and beliefs regarding the pandemic. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Yes. I am a QA employee and a medical device manufacturer. My company required masking, temp checks and social distancing. At home, we limited our public excursions as much as possible and avoided places like theaters and restaurants. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I think I use them more to connect with the rest of the world. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We canceled one vacation and had smaller family get togethers for holidays. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 Two cats and two dogs for most of the time. They keep us busy and give us something to do. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 We try to increased tipping when we do take out and other services and make donations as possible to help out others. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 We’ve knows several people. Most cases were mild to moderate and only one person was hospitalized. Fortunately, so far, everyone has recovered. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 We lost a family member at the beginning of the restrictions. There was a small visitation and funeral limited based on the rules at the time followed by a larger gathering when the weather allowed for more outdoor activities. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 We were very fortunate as our jobs and companies are stable and essential so we didn’t really experience any monetary issues so far during the pandemic. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Know your personal priorities and make decisions for yourself based on those. We can’t live in fear for an unlimited amount of time. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Some increased precautions when around large groups and when traveling but I feel like day to day life will return to mostly what it was before.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 15 Date 05/12/2021 Location The location of the interview The Bahamas When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I first heard of Covid 19 at the beginning of 2020 and began feeling the impacts on March 10th 2020 How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Before the pandemic I was suffering from depression, Anxiety and other (un-diagnosed) mental heath conditions. I had friends, but wasn't close with many of them and my family situation was very poor. After covid-19 began i was able to take time alone to work on my self and was able to drastically improve my mental health. My friendships took a toll at the beginning of the pandemic, however I gained newer stronger friendships while bettering old ones. My family situation while improving only a little is now on the mend. I am happy to say (in a sick kinda way) that the pandemic was actually a good thing for my life, even though i am well aware that many others have suffered horribly during this time. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 At this exact moment I am a little stressed and tired, however in general I am satisfied, growing, thankful and hopeful about the future. Before the pandemic I had horrendous coping methods. Now-er days I relive stress by listening to 'good' music, talking to friends, talking walks, doing yoga, going to the gym and sometimes simply crying it out because it is ok to feel the stress. In my opinion it isn't always about 'coping', but also about working through the emotion and reaching out --as i often try to do--when help is needed. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Nothing has really surprised me during the Pandemic, not that there haven't been a lot of socking happenings over the last 2 years, but nothing has been so 'crazy' considering the state of affaires. In my community at the start of things there were crazy long lockdowns, a wealth of restrictions and a self evident amount of panic among the general public. As restrictions reduced, schools and shops re-opened and things returned to normal, in some sense of the word, the greatest changes have been: online school, mask waring, social distancing and hand sanitizers posted outside of ever store. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 I am not a business owner, but I have talked to a few. Many of them expressed that they have either gone out of business for good, or that there is a severe decrease demand for their products especially those requiring close contact. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am not an essential worker however, the essential workers in my circle have been : following social distance rules, double masking, practicing good hygiene, getting vaccinated and being tested for covid weekly. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 Not an employee. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Technically I am working from home, as a student. In addition my parents have been working form home and we all experience: the typical tech and wi-fi issues, being 'on top' of each other, feeling burnt out or unmotivated, a lack of space and quiet to work in, an emotional disconnect between our selves and our peers/colleges. working form home can be seriously demotivating and family members often 'buck heads'. Being at home also means that schedules are either completely free or entirely 'jam-packed'. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes, apart from me there are several younger children. Most days are a little rocky because they have to be instructed and 'bossed' about in-order to attempt to bring structure to their day. In addition they essentially have to be homeschooled which is a full time job. And to make the stress level real, they [the children's] emotional needs have tripled due to a lack of social interactions. Overall it's manageable, but it certainly is not ideal....none of this is. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 I am a student and school was canceled. when school was first canceled around mid-March there was obviously not easy solution. None the less my school moved online after a few weeks and I was able to complete my last few months of school online. Over summer 2020 I changed school and despite hoping to be in-person, I have spent this last school year completely online. Hopefully if a few things sort themselves out I will be online this fall. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 At the start of the pandemic I had multiple forms of social media, currently I have narrowed my social media to just three apps (none of which i actually post on). I use Pintrerest for inspiration, Snap chat for reaching out to friends and youtube mainly for school or finding at home workouts. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 The most major event I have had to postpone is moving. There is so many documents and forms to fill, and covid keeps pushing our deadlines for certain things back. It feels like every time I get close to moving something covid-related causes the whole thing to fall through. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 At the very start of the pandemic my family had 1 cat and 2 guinea pigs, one of which has now sadly passed. Any way, my family adopted 2 kittens, who recently turned one, and so far things have been great with all my pets. For the first 8 months of having our new kittens one of them got very sick with a STAF infection. This has been an issues that has reoccured once since but we have been seeking treatment for him. During covid this was very challenging because vets and medication was not always available. On a day to day basis having the pets (3 cats, 1 guinea pig) has been great! They are a great indication of when I am not doing well because their litter boxes and food gets neglected; subsequently this means i also have to get out of my rut in order to care for them (a good thing in my opinion). The pets are also very comforting and a wonderful way to pass my time playing with them ect. I am so thankful I am able to have all these pets and I am thankful for the positivity they have brought to my life. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 During a pandemic positivity is becoming increasingly difficult to find. But at school I have been an active member of the community and have participated in global Round Square meetings. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 No one I know personally has contracted covid, but a few students at my school have. It was scary to think that they had a virus that could kill them, but I was also great to see how they handled it like champs. They got tested, treated, stayed home and kept themselves informed. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 I am VERY thankful to not have lost anyone (apart form a pet) during the pandemic. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I new how long it would last. I think having an Idea of how many weeks, months and years this whole thing would last would help me be more prepped. Knowing the time-frame for the pandemic, though very unrealistic, would allow me to plan my future in a more realistic way. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 The pandemic was one of the single most unplanned and unfortunate events of the early 2020s. However it was also a time of change, togetherness, triumph and a test of human ingenuity. So, even though millions lost their lives, jobs, homes and food; many of us still lived and thrived to share this story of how an invisible virus took down the world and how we as a human race worked to gain it back. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 The 'new normal', to me, looks like a hybrid of covid-times and pre-covid-times. Online resources, online shopping ect will forever be more popular then in-person activities. School and work (especially) will take on a hybrid model, utilize online forums like Zoom more often and find working/learning from home more acceptable. Social activities will mean so much more, but so will online relationships. The world will find this new normal where we don't accept certain behaviors and where we now more than ever accept other behaviors. The world is going to do a complete 180. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 No, this has been a great experience, thank you.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March 2020. Other than going to the drug store and grocery store, spent most days at home with my husband. Pretty much for the entire year, I had no contact with anyone other than my husband. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am more social now with the pandemic under control. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am still a bit hesitant to be in big crowds. I don't have a problem with being around just a few people. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Some businesses have had to close and now the ones that are open can't find help to work. I am most surprised that how our little town was diligent in getting the vaccine. How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 I used the Zoom platform to go to church and participate in yoga classes during the pandemic. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 There were a few events that were cancelled. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have one dog. Over the past year we have spent a lot of time together going for walks. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 That friendship is more important than ever. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 I knew several people in our community who had Covid. Some were on ventilators but have since recovered. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 By attending a memorial service. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 Just how serious it was and the magnitude of how many deaths there would be. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Listen to the science and get vaccinated if that is the suggestion from health officials. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I would hope that people listen to health professionals and respect their advice. Maybe we will be back to "almost" normal in the next few months if we can avoid the variant. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 This was a medical emergency - not a political one! I wish more people understood that!

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 We were in Naples FL and watched with sadness and fear as the numbers grew in NY. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I have more of an appreciation for the time I get to spend with family and friends. I travel a bit less. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I'm grateful for outside activities here at the lake or down in FL when I visit. Moving muscles relieves stress so pickleball, yoga, kayaking, walking or swimming make me feel great. It's important to enjoy nature and feel the joy of beautiful sunsets or watching the eagle fly over the lake. Getting hugs from my grandkids and family is the best!!! What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 I've gotten to know my neighbors much more!! In FL we met in the parking lot for impromptu get together with social distancing. People here at the lake have always been friendly however, now people seem to want to do more to make our community better by pitching in together on projects. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 Yes, I am a business owner. I could not visit customers in their homes. I had to do more phone work or help customers choose a Medicare plan by computer, phone or through the mail. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I don't consider myself an essential worker but feel I provide a valuable service for people aging into Medicare. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 I was not laid off and did not obtain unemployment. I have Medicare so I remained insured. My new business did drop quite a bit as I could not hold informational sessions or see people face to face. I think people just went online or called Medicare to enroll instead of using a Representative like me. Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Yes. Websites I use sometimes are not functioning or lack all the companies I represent. Sometimes folks do not have emails or a computer! Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 No. I do see the struggles my family has gone through. Virtual learning was a disaster for some grandkids and an ok experience for others. It was a difficult transition for some to come back to school. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 My one grandson took a leave of absence due to several issues. He's getting help and considering what his next steps will be. Felt so sad for him! College was not a good experience with the pandemic! How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Watch a lot of Netflix and other channels! Ate too much and had to lose weight!! Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We had small holiday gatherings. It was different but ok. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 No. We thought about it but could not find one. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Appreciating my relationships so much more. I noticed the earth appreciated that the earth was cleaner!! I think more people should drive less and work from home. Families got stronger in many cases. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes. We lost a few friends and neighbors due to the disease. It was very traumatic for the kids to lose their dad-he was early 50's. Two neighbors in their nineties passed. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 We held memorial parties recently. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That we would be ok with the amazing scientists we have. And that a vaccine would help things come back. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Be aware that humans are innovative and will find a way to survive although some will not. You can have some things in hand but you'll have to find ways to deal with what you don't have or can't get. Take care of your health so you are strong and at your best! How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I'm still not ready for large crowds of people. Keeping closer to home may be the new norm and less travel. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 Live your life with joy. Embrace every gift you're given. Share what you have. Be kind and show compassion. Help one another!

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 44 Date 06/21/2021 Location The location of the interview Delhi, ny, USA When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 I am a registered nurse in a small rural hospital. I think we started hearing about COVID via work a little sooner than the average person in this area. Much like the average person in this area we at first believed it would not effect us as much as bigger cities and bigger hospitals. Once the rate in our area started climbing we realized it was way bigger than we anticipated. When the schools closed then it really hit home. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 After all the mask wearing it's really difficult to stop wearing them. Especially in public, where there are a lot of people. Working as a nurse will never be the same and the staffing shortages are ridiculous. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I was stressed through the whole thing. Work was immensely changed. Even in our small hospital, watching patients get sicker and sucker and knowing there was nothing we could do about it The worst was not being able to let family members visit. Doubly worse because my own mother was back and forth between hospitals and a nursing home and I couldn't go see her. Stress was blunted by a lot of eating and just trying to stay positive for my kids. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Our community, like many others was firmly split on most COVID subjects.....mask wearing, school not being full time, vaccinations. There was no clear 'winner' in any of these debates and people got down right mean. I was very surprised and a lot of the stupidity that surrounded all of this, on both sides. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 I am essential, as is my husband. I worked full times nights throughout the entire pandemic. We were wearing all PPE at work. The N95 masks for 13 + hours was the hardest. At home I was showering 2 and 3 times a day. Trying not to bring COVID from work home. It was very rough. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes a 6th grader and a 3rd grader. After the initial shut down the only was we managed was a close friend that is a teacher. Without her I would have had to take time off from work or possibly go on leave. Through the hybrid year my husband and I burned up a lot of our vacation time trying to cover the days my kids were home in school. My kids handled it well once they got into a routine. Online learning was very rough for my 3rd grader. There were lots of tears. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 We all ready had pigs, but we did get chickens over the pandemic. It helped by keeping the kids busy. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I think there will be a lot more online shopping, especially for food. Also a lit of classes and jobs may turn to remote all the time. I also think mask wearing will cone back any time there is an illness about, like the flu.

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 In February 2020 when friends advised I not fly. I was afraid of Covid. Now I’m afraid of mandates and the over zealous people who enforce them. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 Before the pandemic I lived in a free country. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I’m feeling some frustration and incredulity. Keeping busy at home and in the community. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Mask wearing while walking dogs. Surprised by hyper-conformity to nonsensical rules. Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 All workers are essential to the well being of their families. I throw caution to the wind at home. Hug, kiss, and borrow used eating utensils. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Life slowed down and relationships were strengthened. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 My son. It was like the flu. What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 That I am weak and I am strong. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Build your immune system. Eat healthy. Exercise. Protect the elderly. Do not shut down the country, isolate healthy people, and terrify the children. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 It will look like more “crisis’” to control people because this one worked so well. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above? Question 20 May we again soon be the land of the free and the home of the brave. May Americans rise to the challenge of ensuring their own safety and well being, like adults, and not look to the corrupt nanny state.

Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Southern Adirondack Library System Covid-History Age 68 Date 09/17/2021 Location The location of the interview Porter Corners NY 12859 When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 Seeing masks, riding our bikes on empty streets on Broadway, Saratoga Springs, two of our four adult children unwilling to hug or get together indoors. My husband, son, daughter, contracted Covid in Dec, 2020. Fevers, weak, aches for a week or so. My sense of taste was “off” for four months. After I had Covid, I was less terrified and thought the fear many people had may have been overblown. How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My husband and I have chosen to live our lives as normally as we can. We get our antibodies checked every three months and our natural immunity has not waned. We are currently on a 6 week cross-country camping trip. We wear masks and socially distance when it is mandated. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I feel great and don’t allow Covid to stress me out. At 68, I’m realizing that life is short. I know many people who have had Covid; no one was hospitalized unless they had a pre-existing condition and all are fine now. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 It’s surprising how terrified many people are and some wear masks even when bike riding alone. Most are getting vaccinated in spite conflicting information retrieval vaccine efficacy an possible safety issues. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 N/A Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 N/A As a retired teacher, I’m glad I’m not involved in the craziness that has beset our educational system. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 N/A Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 N/A Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 No How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 Fact checking, responding to posts that foment fear, keeping in touch with friends and family members who have socially isolated themselves due to fear of Covid Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 We delayed our cross-country camping trip that was planned for 2020 because National Parks had closed. Instead we took four camping trips in New York State. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 I have a 3 year old dog. He’s great and doesn’t fear Covid! My adult son wouldn’t let his children pet him for a while which I thought was due to baseless fear. What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 Family members and close friends became closer because they were in “the bubble.” I personally didn’t have a bubble , especially once I had Covid and antibodies. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 For me, it was like the flu. I was much sicker with a longer recovery time when I had pneumonia. My son’s girlfriend felt sick for longer; the rest of us were ill for two weeks, give or take. I had no cough or breathing issues. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 N/A What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Lose weight if you’re obese, stay active, heat healthy food. Build up your immune system. Don’t live in fear; fear creates stress; stress negatively impact s your immune system. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I fervently hope we return to some semblance or normalcy. The possibility of obsessively hand washing, sanitizing, maintaining physical distancing is emotionally and possibly physically damaging. A society that requires “showing your papers” for entering places is unacceptable to me. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

Question 1 I had COVID before shutdown .I fortunately had treatment (zpak,zinc,steroid) How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 I am forced by govt overreach to mask or isolate ,regardless of health. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 I am coping fine ,but this tyranny coupled with experimental vaccines is disheartening. I pray. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 Children ,who are least affected by Covid illness,and the most affected by mitigation.I am shocked of the willingness to subjugate children ,and use them to shield adults. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 We stayed open Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Yes ,day care / school. Forced to mask,social distance,limit group activities,and as always ( pre-pandemic) wash our hands,stay home with a fever . Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 Yes. We are making the best of it. Our child has transferred out of public school . How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?

Personally if I was refused treatment like so many , I don't think I would have survived it If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 We weren't able to celebrate their lives,we were forced to put pieces in the paper . When they were dying,they died alone What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began?

Question 18 Government mandates ,isolating healthy people and mass vaccinations are not the answer. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 I'm afraid the ' new normal' is a farce .we are two years in ,we have viable treatments ,and a vaccine . Our new normal seems to be irrational fear based tyranny. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?

How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town? Question 1 March 2020 when the campus closed. I was frightened because there were not that many cases in the community that I knew about before the campus closed. Could there have been cases that were not disclosed in the community until the campus closed? How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic? Question 2 My life is very different. Mask wearing, trying to socially distance in classrooms and maintain a high quality learning environment, and daily fear of catching Covid are all very real changes in my work life. How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress? Question 3 Stressed. The workload on campus has increase tremendously with no sign of slowing down. I wish I had time to relieve stress but honestly I don't. What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you? Question 4 People who choose to wear masks do and those that do not don't. The community is very divided on this issue and are wary of the news that DCPH provides. Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates? Question 5 N/A Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home? Question 6 Precautions at my workplace were thrown to the wind during the summer of 2020. Students returned to campus and we the campus unfortunately didn't have a plan. The amount of stress was overwhelming and we as people/front line essential employees were forgotten in it all. Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance? Question 7 N/A Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing? Question 8 Unfortunately, I do not have an office space and have done all my work from a recliner. Do you have children at home? How’s it going? Question 9 I don't have children and can't image how those with children were struggling through Covid. If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall? Question 10 N/A How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic? Question 11 These days, I'm online working with some computer application all the time. Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead? Question 12 Fortunately, no. Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day? Question 13 N/A What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place? Question 14 I have learned to be more resilient, which I didn't think was possible. I have also learned not to rely on anything and fully expect the unexpected to happen every moment, every day. Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like? Question 15 Yes. It is hard to watch a child go through any health crisis. If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives? Question 16 I had a student lose her father during Covid and it was brutally hard for both her/her family and me. I was supporting her through the experience in ways I would have never expected. That student graduated! What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began? Question 17 I wish I knew that my institution had such a weak leadership style that would allow it's front line workers to be put at risk while they sat at home without a care in the world. What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it? Question 18 Prepare for it. I would say that plans, with input from all those impacted, have to be made and then communicated, so everyone is on the same page. We have lost our trust in each other and that's something that will be hard to get back. How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like? Question 19 Looking out for myself and my family is the new normal. Expecting the unexpected too. Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?
