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!

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 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.

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.

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
Heard about the first cases in China in winter, 2019. By February, 2020, we were in local "lockdown".
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
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!

Ponca City, Oklahoma
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 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.

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.

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
3/2020 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? 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 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?

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.

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.

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?

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 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?

Lake Luzerne, 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?

After March 14, I realized we were in lock down. There weren’t many cases in the county for quite a while.
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?

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?
Question 4
Most people wear masks. It’s surprizes me that some people don’t.
Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home?

Not to travel while it was starting to spread.
What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?

Follow directions of the smart people in charge. Follow science.
How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?
Question 19
This is going to last a lot longer past these four months. Probably no more handshaking, always wearing masks. No large gatherings for a long time from now.

This was the hot item this summer! People couldn't buy a bike fast enough. I was fortunate to find this one. Everyone has turned to simple outdoor activities since so many events have been canceled.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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
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.

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.

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 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.
