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
We had a parent meeting in secondary school about Transition Year trip abroad, would we let them go or not. This was early March and they were due to go on 31st March. We voted not to let them go but were still very sceptical we were doing the right thing and were we blowing covid out of all proportion t
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
Not too much had changed for me. I enjoy being at home and not watching the clock to pick up r drop off someone somewhere. I rarely go to pubs. I do miss going out for dinner and planning next trip away .....whenever that will be!
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
Walk every day and exercise. I m trying to meditate every day...that's not going to plan
What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?
Question 4
It has surprised me how most people stuck to the rules especially the older cocooners. They were brillant. And the appreciation shown to the medical profession
Do you have children at home? How’s it going?
Question 9
Nothing much has changed for me. Having tje kids home from school was like summer holidays except they had to do homework. I enjoyed lock down. I enjoyed the peace it brought to my life
How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?
Question 11
In the beginning we were all watching the news for updates. It didn't take long before we were avoiding it as it was all bad news about covid
Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day?
Question 13
Yes, a new kitten which we didn't plan on getting. We have 2 other cats and a dog. They are all "frienimies"
What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place?
Question 14
Kindness, compassion, good news stories
What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?
Question 18
Wash hands, wear masks. Shut down airports and lock down country straight away
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 people will slow down, smell the Rose's, stop running and chasing things they dont really need. Spend more time with family. New normal will be face masks shopping and travelling. And hygiene freaks
Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?
Question 20
I was listening to a radio program , a doctor was speaking about how all cancer checks had been stopped and how there will be so many lives impacted on the delay. I thought it was so sad then flicked over to another channel for music. Little did I know I was one of those

When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town?
Question 1
I first started hearing people in school talking about lockdowns in other countries, then people were talking about sports and big events being cancelled, then some of the performances I was supposed to do with dance cancelled. It changed because by that point I realized oh wait, it’s really getting everywhere.
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
My life is less busy in a sense now. Now I’m used to wearing a mask and hearing about nothing but COVID on the news (with the exception of BLM). I’ve spent more time outside and doing hobbies I like.
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
Alright, I’m curious how everything will work out with school and everything. To relieve stress I mostly just stay away from the news, listening to music or reading or writing or embroidery.
What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?
Question 4
I noticed the rainbow hunt thing people around me did. That was surprising, I guess. I’ve noticed how many stupid people there are who only wear masks over their mouth and not the nose.
Do you have children at home? How’s it going?
Question 9
No, but I am a child technically and I have an annoying brother who’s a child.
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
Last year, yes. They said we’d be closed for two months and then it ended being the whole year. Yes, I was able to finish online. I think I’ll be back, because my school has released some of their plans and cases are going down in Saratoga, I think.
How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?
Question 11
I’ve used tiktok, discord , YouTube etc. I’ve been able to talk to people a lot and also learn a lot of things.
Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day?
Question 13
I have animals, I didn’t adopt one during the pandemic. My dogs have made the days definitely more interesting and given us a reason to go outside a lot.
What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place?
Question 14
I started appreciating little things more. I noticed people making the best of situations. I tried to do as much for BLM as I can without physically leaving my house and protesting.
Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like?
Question 15
I don’t know but I think one of my friends mentioned she got it? I’m not sure she didn’t talk about it much.
What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began?
Question 17
That I should’ve gotten with and hugged my friends more, and that I should’ve said a proper goodbye if I felt like I wouldn’t come back to school that year. Also that I shouldn’t get so excited for the school play and dance, because I would end up VERY disappointed.
What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?
Question 18
That nobody will suspect anything until it’s them THatS under lockdown. That at first some people will be stupid and won’t believe it. That even through it some people won’t believe in it. Some people will be so incredibly stupid it will blow your mind. Have ways to deal with something like this. In the sense we should have resources for people who lose jobs suddenly, etc.
How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?
Question 19
I think even after we are allowed to go out like we were before there will be a lot of people still cautious. More emphasis on hygiene/hand washing/etc.

When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town?
Question 1
I first realized that COVID-19 was something that could affect our lives around the end of February. It still seemed like such a distant threat, but by early to mid-March we were worrying and planning. My last in-person trip to the supermarket was in early March, and my sister told me to stock up, buy more shelf stable items and essentials, like toilet paper. By that point, it was already impossible to get toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and hand soap. Seeing empty shelves at all the stores added to a panic that I had never experienced in my lifetime. About a week later, there was a flurry at work as we were trying to close down for maybe a month, possibly longer. We ended up being out of work for about three months. So, my reaction intensified from mild concern into an all-consuming anxiety over the course of the first month.
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
I am immuno-compromised and at high risk, so I have not been doing any of my own shopping. I live by my sister's bimonthly shopping trips and internet shopping. I can't imagine going into a store or restaurant, and I don't know when I would consider going somewhere public for recreation. Unfortunately, I do have to work now, as libraries have been allowed to reopen. Fortunately, I have limited days and hours, and my small staff all wear masks. I greatly fear reopening to the public, and I have not told anyone yet that I am considering quitting my job if that happens sooner than I feel is safe.
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
I am feeling great anxiety. During the height of the lock down, I felt anxiety about the news, about going back to work, and about my sister going out to do our shopping. And I felt hopeless watching the news. Now that I have to go out twice a week, I feel greater anxiety and stress like I have never felt in my life. I've not been very successful at relieving my current stress. When I was still in lock down, I had a to-do list, and I would do a couple small productive things a day and either read or watch something funny for relaxation. I watched a lot of videos made by entertainers (and some regular people) made during their lock downs. There was something comforting about us all going through the same thing.
What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?
Question 4
I live right on the main street in my village, and I was surprised how the traffic never seemed to thin out when we were in the middle of our lock down. In general, I have felt this entire time that people in my county have not been taking the situation seriously. I see a lot of people without masks, and I see large groups of people congregating near my apartment. I'm told there are large groups of people in local parks, too. I'm saddened by this, and it increases my anxiety.
Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home?
Question 6
I do not consider myself an essential employee, however my work is now open again. I work at a branch of the library. The county library system was closed down for three months. Now we are open for curbside pickup. It has been extremely hectic. We think the amount of books coming into the library has been more than we had before the pandemic. The volume of books and the volume of people that must be contacted is incredible. We set up appointments for people to pick up their items. So far we are not open to the public. Everyone at our branch wears a mask. When I talk on the phone, I wear a face shield instead because the mask muffles my voice too much. Supposedly the libraries are being deep cleaned (though I don't know about that). We are quarantining returned items for five days to account for the time the virus might live on surfaces. We have available hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes. I'm not sure how our small staff is going to manage when we reopen. We will limit how many patrons can be in the library at any time. This would be only for browsing and checking out materials. We have had some regular patrons who are refusing to wear masks, and I'm concerned that we won't be able to enforce that rule. I don't know what sort of disinfecting needs to be done, but with my asthma, I'm not sure how much I can help with that. There is a huge push to reopen the libraries, but, in the best of times, people don't know how to stay home when they are sick. I'm not sure how a staff of three can keep tabs on all of these things and do our regular jobs without getting sick ourselves. Anxiety!
Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance?
Question 7
I was furloughed for three months with pay. I did not apply for unemployment. Other people need it more than I do. I don't have health insurance through work.
How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?
Question 11
I have been using social media much more during the pandemic. I used it more to keep in contact with people I hadn't necessarily kept in contact with before. While I wasn't exactly lonely, I did want to reach out to people, check in on them, and have more regular contact. I also used the internet for news, health information about the virus, and for entertainment.
Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead?
Question 12
My birthday was right as this was beginning, and there was definitely a feeling of doom over the whole thing, but, in general, no.
What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place?
Question 14
I donated money to several charities during the time, and I've been sending essential health and medical supplies to my handicapped aunt in Pennsylvania every month. But that's nothing. I am in awe of the kindness and caring of so many people during this time.
Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like?
Question 15
Luckily, no one really close to has contracted it. My cousin's cousin (not related to me), a healthy 30 year-old man, contracted it and died in May. That was a shock to the whole family. I've known two people in their twenties who contracted it (potentially during spring breaks), but they both seem to have recovered. I know a local couple in their early sixties who had it in mid-March. While they didn't go into great detail, they did say it was the worst they ever felt. Both managed to get through it without hospitalization. In May, they attempted to donate their blood plasma but tested positive again. I don't know if they were reinfected or if the virus had been there the whole time.
What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began?
Question 17
I wish I would have stocked up on some things like toilet paper while it was still available. I wish that I hadn't wasted money on some of the medications and supplies (like masks with valves) that I bought before we knew as much as we do know about the virus.
What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?
Question 18
Trust science and scientists, health care workers, and people who have the general public's best interest at heart. Do not trust anyone who is looking to make money, increase their prestige and power, or is willing to overlook facts to make their country/state/county look better than it is. Staying physically away from other people is essential. Is it worth jeopardizing everyone's health just to have a few moments of fun? Wearing a mask is the smallest kindness that you can do for another person.
How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?
Question 19
I think it will change some people's lives considerably, and I think it has not changed other's very much at all. I think it depends on how concerned you are about the virus. It's definitely changed how I behave, especially in public. But, we have short memories, and people are trying to forget it, even as it is still going on.

The location of the interview
Saratoga Springs, New York
When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town?
Question 1
Heard about the first cases in China in winter, 2019. By February, 2020, we were in local "lockdown".
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
There isn't an aspect of daily life it hasn't changed, from interacting with others, to getting basics like food and medicine, and in Saratoga Springs - a 'destination location' where people travel to globally for the summer and the races - the normally busy summer season is vastly changed. All entertainment venues are closed - Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Caffe Lena, all local indoor theaters - and the racetrack is running races MINUS spectators. People can bet on the races online, but cannot attend in person. Restaurants and bars, if open, generally are only for dining outdoors - and some streets are partially closed to allow them to use the sidewalks and even parts of the street to set up dining outdoors.
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
The longer the virus continues to spread without an effective treatment, the more of a toll it seems to be taking on everyone, including friends and neighbors as we pass a full half year without any true health fixes for the problem (outside of avoiding all contact with others - which isn't a viable option for anyone!)
What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?
Question 4
People simply are not out and about (which is for their own safety) unless necessary. I went to the concert broadcast live by a group of friends from Caffe Lena last week - I was one of four (masked and distanced) people there other than the musicians and those broadcasting the concert. Live music was SO strange (and good!) to hear for the first time since winter - and I wondered how many others had not heard live music since then, either...
Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates?
Question 5
I work from home, so fortunately did not have a storefront to close, but the store where I sell my painted pieces only reopened this summer; many for limited hours and most with far fewer customers than normally busy vacation/track season.
Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home?
Question 6
n/a
Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance?
Question 7
n/a
Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing?
Question 8
Most difficult challenge is that I don't drive, and many service-based businesses are "drive-through only" so it has been difficult to get items I may not know I need quickly. (If time isn't a concern, I can order items online which are delivered in a few days by mail.) But I have to ask friends or neighbors if it's an emergency - and most of them are not at home during the day when stores are open.
Do you have children at home? How’s it going?
Question 9
n/a
If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall?
Question 10
n/a
How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?
Question 11
Far more than usual. Majority of contact with friends, most shopping, and to see movies and hear 'outside world' programming like BBC World Service when desired.
Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead?
Question 12
All major parties and friends' events were postponed; sometimes they became a small, properly masked and distanced gathering in a yard or on a porch. I went to one birthday where I could see people were not masked and there were more than permitted sitting too close together. I left before anyone could see me due to the lack of responsible safety!
Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day?
Question 13
I have been trying to adopt a specific breed of (adult) dog, so I could be sure it was quiet as I live in a subdivided old home and need to know in advance it's not a noisy dog. The rescue I have adopted from in the past is closed due to interstate transport and quarantine safety issues. :(
What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place?
Question 14
I have been doing more community artwork - and also encouraging people to be more forgiving of each other in social media exchanges. We don't need added stress in an already difficult time! But in my immediate neighborhood, people do seem to be more supportive and giving than usual.
Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like?
Question 15
n/a
If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives?
Question 16
n/a
What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began?
Question 17
Wish we knew how to convince the Trump administration and its Republican senate to take this lethal - and still incurable - virus seriously instead of calling it "a hoax" and telling trusting Americans that it would "disappear," while casting aspersions on the medical doctors and scientists who were trying, early on, to raise appropriate alarms and get the administration to act in the best interests of the American people. Because science and medicine were ignored, the United States is as divided now as at any time since the Civil War - and we have the highest virus infection AND death rate in the WORLD, with all the harm to families, jobs, communities and our entire way of life that upending an entire economy and social system entails.
What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?
Question 18
Education is key. Children need to be taught to value and trust PROVEN FACTS above rumors and propaganda - and how to effectively tell one from the other so that they can both understand and share that proven knowledge with others. That way, if a leader tells them one thing while science clearly shows them another - like U.S. President Trump asserting that a proven lethal pandemic is "a hoax" and will "disappear" when science shows it is killing increasing numbers of people across the globe on a daily basis - they will have the education and skills to dismiss and ignore such harmful propaganda, and have methods and media in place to assure that correct, fact-based information is distributed to (and believed by) all. That way, the safest approach to whatever threat can be speedily enacted, and the brightest minds of their time can be put to use to solve the problem quickly and permanently. Funds and equipment should be set aside and protocols created in advance so that when the next critical national or international health challenge appears, the country need only enact the proper health and safety protocols the minute the problem is declared an epidemic, if not sooner!
How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?
Question 19
Sadly, at present, it seems that the misinformation continuously provided by President Trump and his administration on everything from the severity of the virus and its likely duration to dismissing for months its ONLY proven prevention method (universal mask wearing, distancing and thorough sanitary washing) and his continuing refusal to mandate those methods for the U.S. public nationwide has led to a mistrust of science, medical practice and even of fact-based and researched journalism that may take decades or longer for the U.S. to recover from - if at all. The "new normal" created as a result are families, friends and neighbors who don't speak with each other depending on whether they accept or deny scientific fact; the thousands of people who died - on track to to be more than were killed in America's World Wars - all because the country did not adopt a uniform medical plan or response to the virus, making the U.S. the global leader in COVID-19 infections and deaths - and a resulting loss of American homes, jobs and fundamental security for all but the wealthiest citizens (who became even wealthier as the rest lost both income sources, savings and more). All of this points to a "new normal" which is likely to be far more difficult for most Americans than any of us yet know. And I'm writing this while our "Capital Region" area is being described as one of the virus "hot spots" in New York State where we (unlike New York City, which saw first-hand its hospitals overwhelmed and bodies needing to be placed in refrigerated trucks in hospital parking lots because storage areas inside the hospitals were full) did not have an early high death/infection rate to frighten the necessary majority into adopting safe public health precautions. So we have a local virus infection rate here which is still GROWING - with no reliable medical treatment yet available - and a vaccine which is only still in the development phases. So it seems far too early to wonder what the "new normal" truly will look like, when it appears we're still very much in the throes of the old nightmare. (I write this as today's used cloth masks are having their nightly soak in their very hot, soapy water, soon to join yesterday's hanging to dry before they are used once again for any public outing...)
Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?
Question 20
If you are reading this in future, I hope it's with shock for the previous times when medical science and technology hadn't eliminated viruses and similar fatal conditions and infections - and that yours is a far safer, healthier, peaceful and equal world for all!

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

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 heard about it from the news and from friends who live in China in Jan and Feb, It became impactful personally, on March 13th when I offered to work from home to meet the governor's mandate of only 50% of work staff.
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
Less socializing in person mostly and unable to travel and visit family in FL. Working from home for 4 months was different but in a good way. Overall the day by day was just more time at home and in nature, which wasn't all bad.
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
Feelings have been all over the place for a year, and often a rollercoaster each week. Thankfully I'm around a grounded community of family and friends which has helped. I crochet, and have made a lot of new projects in the last year! During the summer our rowing club had single boats to take out and the family has kayaks as well, so I spent time on the water as well.
Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing?
Question 8
I worked from home for 4 months and it was a nice change. No traffic, less time on the morning routine. I was kinda sad when our office went back the first week in July.
How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?
Question 11
I started doom scrolling a lot more. COVID news, political news, all the downers. It was about Nov. that I had to step away and limit my time on all platforms due to mental exhaustion and constant anger/ sadness. I know check social media a bit but to see what things are opening up in the community and to get recommendations of a new path to hike or birds to search for.
What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place?
Question 14
I reached out to friends more, both to check on them and to make sure I didn't go to a dark place. As a social person I enjoy friends, but this has really helped me go deeper with some of my friendships.
If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives?
Question 16
We didn't lose them due to COVID but during lockdowns. No celebration has happened yet as we are waiting until it's safe to gather as family and friends.
What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began?
Question 17
To not start doom scrolling on social media and that all the lessons taught on digital literacy meant nothing in the face of misinformation.
What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?
Question 18
To always have a back-up plan or prepared plan somewhere in planning. Think that there's a bad weather storm in the future and stock up on necessities. More than stocking up though, to build connections with neighbors and friends now, so when the needs are great your community is there for each other.
How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?
Question 19
I wish it would change how we as a society view health care, food insecurity, and safety nets for our community. We have a chance to learn from the broken systems and fix them so more people are not falling through the cracks, but I fear that we won't do anything in order to get back to what convinces we had before things went crazy.

Oneonta 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
I saw it on the news and the fear it would spread through Asia. When it arrived in New Rochelle I knew we were going to have a problem.
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
I went through a lot of different emotions through the pandemic. I’m now divorced, solo dad who has to do everything. I’ve found more responsibility while at work with a promotion. But I worked for months out of my house. Now I feel more secure but the world does not.
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
I’m gaming a lot and trying to check things off my lists. Making time for friends and family really helps.
What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?
Question 4
We had A big rift between our colleges and our community. I was surprised how deep it went and how rough an experience it was.
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 officiate weddings on the side. Thankfully love is not canceled. My job at the YMCA though that’s another story.
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 college did a lot to keep everyone safe, allow everyone to work at home, and felt like it cared.
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
Our college did a lot to keep everyone safe, allow everyone to work at home, and felt like it cared.
Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing?
Question 8
I was laid off from my side gig. The YMCA had no choice. With how things are going for gyms and activities I am not surprised.
Do you have children at home? How’s it going?
Question 9
I have two children who spent the majority of lock down here. We’ve had a rough go of it in and out of school, missing friends, and missing what life outside has to offer. We look forward to getting back to some type of normal just for their sake a little.
How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?
Question 11
I am streaming video gaming a Tunmore on twitch. I’ve seen many other platforms that I may not of used otherwise.
Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead?
Question 12
Never made it to Washington DC, but we are going to get there.
Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day?
Question 13
I would not have gotten through this without the cat at home. Major stress relief.
What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place?
Question 14
I feel like we cared about each other from afar a lot more. My children gave the sense of wonder and missed the school district which I never would’ve guessed. We appreciate our time with each other.
Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like?
Question 15
I had several family members contract the virus during the pandemic. No immediate family passed away but it was no walk in the park. When My ex got the virus the kids were quarantine with me.
What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began?
Question 17
I don’t know if I would’ve been able to prepare for anything. This is not the type of thing that happens all the time or you can even imagine how to feel. I would tell myself I need more toilet paper at home.
What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?
Question 18
Just know that anything can happen, and you can get through anything. We got through itAnd the important thing is to learn from it.
How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?
Question 19
I’m sure masks will be around for a very long time. We will see them in and out of airports on buses and at public events. I also know that some people won’t feel the same about being with other people again.
Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?
Question 20
How did you smile? That’s something that people needed to ask themselves every day to get through this. Thankfully I am the type of person that loves to laugh. It’s appropriate the last outfit I wore to work before the pandemic took it away for a year plus was an outfit inspired by the joker. Because there are many days I laughed in a way that was probably unhealthy but it got me through it.
