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 came up from FL On March 4 to help my dad through Cateract surgery. He has dementia and was planning to go to assisted living in early April. Neither of these things happened & I stayed at my house in Syracuse & took care of him instead. My first grandchild was born March 11. By the 13th hospitals were not allowing visitors. I only saw him once until my birthday in May when my daughter decided we were all careful enough. Poor girl and Papa were completely alone with a new born for a few months but they did well.
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?

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

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

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

When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town?
Question 1
March 17,2020
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
Longer wait to see doctor, dentist and hairdresser. No lunches with friends or dinners in restaurants. Constant cooking. Unable to attend two grandchildren's high school graduations. Home health aide for husband does not come so I have no respite from 24 hour care.
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
I am a 24 hour caregiver for my husband. I am tired. I will restart visits from his health side next week. My son and daughter are beginning alternating visits to help. It has been very stressful.
What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?
Question 4
Everyone seems to be thinking through every move. Most people are compliant with rules such as social distancing and mask wearing.
Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates?
Question 5
n/a
Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home?
Question 6
n/a
Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance?
Question 7
n/a
Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing?
Question 8
n/a
Do you have children at home? How’s it going?
Question 9
n/a
If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall?
Question 10
n/a
How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?
Question 11
Borrowing ebooks from library
Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead?
Question 12
No postponement of grandchildren's (2) high school graduations. They had them; we could not attend.
Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day?
Question 13

What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?
Question 18
Obey rules established by thoughtful leaders like Gov Cuomo. We Americans paid a high price for having elected the wrong President in 2016. The worst in our history when we needed strong leadership like Gov Cuomo.
How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?
Question 19
More working from home. Less air travel. Heavier reliance on technology for news,education in schools and help like medical care. Less human interaction. Very sad. Very lonely.
Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?
Question 20
I fell sad that my life is ending amidst such uncertainty and change. Much of what made my life worth living is gone never to be experienced by my grandchildren. I McNeill miss it for the rest of my life. I turn 80 this summer and doubt many of my pleasures will return. Travel, theater, sports, visits with family, restaurant dinners, attending school events of my grandchildren, freedom to hug friends. A pervasive stress and sadness permeates everything.

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

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

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

When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town?
Question 1
Earlier than most as I had a 4 month old Grandson Ryan and I self quarantined for approximately 10 weeks until I felt safe enough to be with briefly out of fear of carrying the virus even though I was and still remain irus free. I've been tested and I am negative.
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
I am remaining vigilant about outside contacts and I don't go into group settings. My oldest brother died May 12th and I got to see a video of his funeral. This is heartbreaking for me but I also felt blessed as many families didn't even have that as a remembrance. As we were limited to 15 people only immediate relatives were at the cemetery and distancing was enforced.
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
I'm turning my backyard patio into my Oasis with many new perennials, a new fire pit and lighting to enjoy till Fall.
What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?
Question 4
The reluctance for people to be concerned about others and their safety from this virus. I see Neighbors completely ignoring the rules and it is troubling but I also know that everyone has to deal with this in your own way.
Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates?
Question 5
No I am not a business owner although I come from a long line of small businesses in my family and previously owned by myself I can't imagine going through this terrible time of loss.
Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home?
Question 6
n/a
Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance?
Question 7
n/a
Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing?
Question 8
n/a
Do you have children at home? How’s it going?
Question 9

Question 10
n/a
How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?
Question 11
I watch so many outlets try to decipher the changes everyday and to keep myself informed so as to better protect myself and my family from this virus.
Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead?
Question 12
My granddaughter graduates from Delaware University on May 30th and there is no graduation and this is a very sad time for my family. We are all so proud of Sarah and her great accomplishments, I know this is disappointing send her with no ceremony and no big family party at this time but hopefully we can make that up to her in the future.
Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day?
Question 13
I do, my little Bedlington Terrier who is normally groomed every four weeks it's looking like the Shaggy Dog only in a tiny version. She continues to be my best companion.
What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place?
Question 14
I've tried to continue to be the voice of reason with so many different friends and family when panic continues to arise over the pandemic. I see family spending more time with their children and I'm sad to see that it took a pandemic to make that happen. I hope that this closeness will continue in the New World as we continue to evolve.
Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like?
Question 15
Yes my brother who was in a nursing home passed away. I never envisioned my brother passing away and being so alone. He was allowed to see his daughter only and she was able to say her goodbyes and what's with her dad when he passed. Very painful for her and our entire family.
If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives?
Question 16
We celebrated by posting pictures of my brother with memories of days gone by to celebrate his incredible life.
What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began?
Question 17
That is a very tough question I guess I would want to know the full impact that we were all facing. I'm not sure that I would have done anything differently than I have.
What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?
Question 18
My Wish for them is this a real realize how important and precious life truly is. I pray that our young people will learn the lessons that are needed and to take all precautions and steps for their future generation to avoid this happening with such an impact in so many lives.
How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?
Question 19
I believe the new normal will look like many jobs created for a safer environment for all of us to live in.
Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?
Question 20
Appreciate life and we wise in your decisions to help create a better new world.

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.

Galway Lake, New York
When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town?
Question 1
Mid March 2020.I was forced to become a recluse. Since I did not use my car, the battery died. In someways, I enjoyed not having to go anywhere but eventually I experienced cabin fever.
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
I have eliminated social gatherings. I Miss sharing time with friends.
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
I feel fine. I exercise, read books, bake, create online photo books, work on my Family Tree on Ancestry, visit via phone calls and enjoy time with my immediate family.
What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?
Question 4
Social activities I have stopped. I am surprised that so many of us have adapted to this dramatic change in lifestyle.
Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates?
Question 5
n/a
Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home?

Question 7
I am retired and was able to retain my health insurance.
Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing?
Question 8
As I said, I am retired. The adjustments, though, I have made are having my children pick up groceries and ordering items from Amazon.
Do you have children at home? How’s it going?
Question 9
I have an 8 year old grandson living upstairs. It’s wonderful having him visit, play the piano, play ping-pong And just be around.
If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall?
Question 10
My granddaughter is a college student and wanted to return to school which she did. Unfortunately, she’s having Covid symptoms as are other students. This means her school may have a shut down for two weeks. My grandson is a third grader and his parents have decided to keep him at home until Thanksgiving and do virtual learning.
How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?
Question 11
I enjoy using Facebook with my friends, family and Galway like community. I use the Internet for Spiritual support such as Mass and other uplifting presentations. I read books online. Create digital photo books and update my family tree on ancestry.com.
Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead?
Question 12
I postponed visits from my children in Colorado until August when airline protocol protection had improved.

Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like?

If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives?
Question 16
I didn’t lose anyone during this pandemic but if I did, I would celebrate their life by sending notes to their family and contributing to a charity in memory of them. Since I have a strong belief in God,I am confident that they are in their eternal home and quite at peace.
What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began?
Question 17
I can’t imagine anything except appreciating the happy social get together’s we were able to have before.

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

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

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