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

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

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