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

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

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

Ballston Spa, New York
When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town?
Question 1
March 13th our schools closed for 5 weeks. At that time I thought that was excessive. Most other schools were only closing for 2 weeks. But it wasn't until mid-sized April that the impact of COVID-19 began to occur to me. I am not sure if we have any cases in our town. Our county yes. I really thought this would pass as people "stayed home" and then we could go back to life as it was. Now I'm afraid to leave my home and I never take the kids anywhere.
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
We don't go anywhere . We stay home. We don't go to the park, I don't take the kids to visit dad at work, we don't go to the library (it's closed), kids are learning from home for school, they spend way more time on technology or watching tv, we don't have friends over or visit with friends or family, there will be no kindergarten graduation for my son, I wear a facemask when grocery shopping only going when my husband can watch the kids,
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
I feel ok most of the time but get saddened when my kids cry because they can't play with friends or go with me to run errands or want to visit daddy at work. I don't really do anything to deal with the stress just keep going.
What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?
Question 4
Libraries are closed, restaurants only serve take out with limited menus, people aren't out and about, schools are closed, most people wear masks when out. What has surprised me? How cavalier some people are and the attitude that COVID is a conspiracy.
Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates?
Question 5
n/a
Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home?

Question 8
n/a

Question 9
Yes. It is tough. They are young and don't really understand. They want to go to school and play with friends and visit family. They are tired of mom being the teacher. They argue and have melt downs often.
If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall?
Question 10
n/a
How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?
Question 11
Using the internet for school for kiddos. Don't use social media.

Birthdays. We just had quiet birthdays with just our immediate family in our house with promises of parties after coronavirus.

Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like?
Question 15
n/a
If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives?
Question 16
We are fortunate so far and haven't lost anyone.
What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began?
Question 17
That is was going to last for a long time.
What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?
Question 18
I have always been told to save save save! I would tell others to save save save. You never know when you are going to need it.
How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?
Question 19
Not sure but I'm afraid for the future and for my kids.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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