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?

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

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

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

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

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