The location of the interview
Cambridge, 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 work in New Rochelle, my non profit provides after school programming we were the first large spread in NY and it caused us to shut down and scramble to pay our staff and refund our parents
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
I work exclusively from home, before I commutes down a few days a week, I have been blessed to have more time with my two College aged children but regret the disruption in their lives.
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
So Stressed! Work has never ended as we struggle to keep our no profit afloat, and partner with the ever changing needs of the schools and families we serve. At home juggling the emotions of three children and husband has become full time often at the expense of my sanity. I cope by realizing the work I do will help others and I grab what ever time I can for me and I do cherish this extra time with my older children. We are blessed while so many face more challenges.
What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?
Question 4
Being in a smaller community there seems to be an extra effort to be cheerful and kind - even when parents are frustrated with school they seem to engage more respectfully. I am shocked by how many want to ignore and avoid what is happening and keep going forward with blinders.
Are you a business owner who has had to close? If you are still open, how have you had to adjust how your business operates?
Question 5
I am CFO of non profit which closed when schools did - we have struggled to keep essential staff and laid off part time. We are trying to manage the cost to repopen against what we can charge families - we lost so much when we had to refund families that we have little resources to start up again
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 are implementing all state CDC and OCFS guidelines to run our after school programs at a huge cost increase for masks, sanitizer, cleaning, reduced attendence and so on
Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance?
Question 7
n/a
Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing?
Question 8
Yes but I had previously worked from home part time. I am in finance and it is easier for me than others but difficult when you can’t reach colleagues or be part of impromptu conversations
Do you have children at home? How’s it going?
Question 9
Very hard all 3 hated online but made due. My two college aged students deferred their fall semester in the hope of returning for in person
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
Too much at times, I hate the panic and politicizing of so much - hard to get facts. I have changed habits to look for personal and uplifting information than news or engage in debates
Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead?
Question 12
High school graduation - very bummed as her school he so many senior traditions she missed but the school did their best
Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day?
Question 13
We have 2 dogs and 2 cats and they have provided much love
What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place?
Question 14
A lot of community building locally and a desire to figure out how to operate. In Cambridge there have been so many donations to local restaurants to feed our children in need - very supportive.
Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like?
Question 15
Yes my colleague at work, youn healthy man hit with several waves, and a few parents this is all down in westchester - no one seems to have had major impact from it
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 toilet paper and paper towels would be gone honestly my daughter and her friend were concerned when the outbreak first happened in China. They study mandarin and were more in tune to the news there - I wish I had listened to her more seriously and prepared my non profit and myself more.
What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?
Question 18
The news media played up panic and the politicians were quick to point fingers!! Every day people did their jobs and many at risk to their own health. I so appreciated the ability to buy groceries, get a delivery, grab take out - and we should celebrate them and not the ‘cult of celebrity’ we see on media. Use common sense, don’t think you are smarter or know more than the medical guidance. Don’t panic - you can survive on basic stuff and relish the company of family and simple pleasures. Doesn’t hurt to have A few Supplies on hand!
How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?
Question 19
It’s not going to change our behavior we see people misbehaving now. New normal will be dependent on prudent health management - I think we all realize what we are able to do without
Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?
Question 20
This was longer than I thought but makes you think - less media overkill would have made this more bearable - I think they were irresponsible as it caused panic for many people Who then flooded social media

The location of the interview
Emsworth, Pennsylvania
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 10, 2020. I went shopping on that day and ran into short supplies. I went to 4 stores trying to buy sanitizer and couldn't. A week later I had symptoms of the virus but couldn't discern whether it was an immune disease I have or the COVID-19.
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
I have been in isolation almost completely since March 11. I have been working from home since early 2016. That hasn't changed. I cannot visit any doctors' offices. That means my immune disease is not getting the usual assessments such as lab work. I see my doctor's online. My rheumatologist moved to a different state in March and my PCP retired. I feel neglected.
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
I have been working on a book I am writing and am pleased that I am not wasting time in commuting to meetings! I do most of my consulting business online anyway so my income has not changed. All my groceries get delivered--and they are never right and there are still lots of shortages. I couldn't get hand soap or paper towels for over 3 months. My balcony garden is the best it has ever been. The balcony is my way to get out of the house and into the sunshine. Bliss! I am getting to long delayed redecorating projects at home. I also allow myself to listen to music of all kinds to relax. I keep a journal to process anxiety and anger as I have for many decades. I talk to a Jungian therapist once a week. I am a bona fide bibliophile so I am reading A LOT.
What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?
Question 4
There is hostility everywhere. One of the maintenance men who came to fix the plumbing and lay new kitchen floors felt somehow he could respond to my Yankee hospitality by identifying my home state of New York as the "shit-hole of the world". I see battle lines drawn on neighborhood social media over masks that get down and dirty quickly. Twitter has become toxic.
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 own a consulting business. In that capacity I am currently a co-investigator in a study of people with multiple chronic health conditions that is comparing outcomes between telemedicine and wrap around services with professional who go into the patients' homes. We stopped home visits on March 15. The graph of our enrollment dropped like a champion skier off a mountain. I'm working on assignments for the study team and community stakeholders for the fall. The size of the newsletter I write has increased four-fold!
Are you an essential employee? What do you do? What precautions are being taken at your workplace? What precautions are implementing at home?
Question 6
No I am not essential. I am the ethicist in-residence if you will. I think ethicists should be considered essential but--well the book is on ethics in the entire universe of health care. the collapse of the health care system in the pandemic might force us all to see that changes must come.
Are you an employee who has been laid off or furloughed? Were you able to get unemployment? Were you able to retain your health insurance?
Question 7
n/a
Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing?
Question 8
Yes I am as I have been for four year. I enjoy the decrease in stress from not having to drive in heavy Pittsburgh, PA traffic. Not having to deal with all the driving, even for errands, as I have so much delivered, I am able to focus for extended periods of time. the challenges have to do with my emotional health with the police brutality I see and the mind bending incompetence of the federal response, or lack thereof, to the pandemic. The challenge is to not become despairing.
Do you have children at home? How’s it going?
Question 9
I have one named Sophie. She is a 2-year-old calico. she loves the plants on the balcony too.
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 reduced my Facebook to almost zero and significantly reduced Twitter as well due to the hostility expressed. That is a shame. Social media was a source of connection for me as my illness keeps me house bound as a rule and all doctors tell me to stay home. I got enormous enjoyment being part of a watch party for an historical TV show (TURN:Washington's Spies) until it turned itself. It got horribly toxic due to Trump supporters thoughts about patriotism. I do my work online as a rule so it is business as usual. I get lectures online (National Constitution Center, museum virtual tours, etc) that keep me intellectually stimulated. I saw this on C-Span! Thank God for BookTV!
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
See above (question 9) for my 2-year-old calico who is very happy that I am home all the time now.
What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place?
Question 14
I hope that my work on liberative health care ethics will make a long-term positive impact. It centers in premature morbidity and mortality that is being expressed in those being most affected by COVID-19.
Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like?
Question 15
I did in early March. I have not been able to see any doctor in his office. Two doctors offered the opinion that I did indeed contract it but there was no testing available. I was simply home and very sick alone. I was one of the many who take hydroxychloraquine daily to keep my disease from progressing or being fatal. We were all very afraid when the White House Administration touted it as a "game changer". For us it is. I ran out at the end of March when I was so sick. I did get a 3-month supply in April. The biggest take-away was the almost unspeakable fear and loneliness that goes with being an "elder orphan" and not having anyone to help with cooking, laundry, and simply being there for comforting emotional support. I attend two churches. Both went exclusively online of course. Neither pastor nor elders could come visit. I work in health care. No one much even asked if I was okay. We all hear stories about the heroes. That is because we want to feel we are good and kind. When it comes down to actually going grocery shopping or throwing in a load of laundry or making dinner for a baby boomer we take comfort in believing someone else is doing it. I did have one neighbor offer to buy some groceries in March. That was lovely and very much appreciated.
If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives?
Question 16
I did not lose anyone personally. I wept often though, knowing what was gong on with the poor, sick and elderly in the nursing homes and hospitals and dying by themselves in their homes.
What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began?
Question 17
I changed both my PCP and my rheumatologist in March. I wish I knew both doctors who replaced them before I got the virus. It would have been nice to have an established relationship with the men who ended up being on my computer screen.
What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?
Question 18
I would want them to know how utterly unprepared we were in health care both in the way we educate and employ workers at all levels. I want them to see how a profit-driven health care system is morally bankrupt and in need of an overhaul. I want them to understand how important it is to build community support systems and personal relationships with people at all age levels and economic status. I want them to know that ageism is an evil just as much as misogyny and white supremacy. I want them to realize when adversity hits we survive together or we perish together.
How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?
Question 19
As a person who has been working in the public health system since 1989 I can say we do not know how this will change us going forward. We are not merely going through a pandemic. We are simultaneously going through another stage in women's rights, gun violence protests, police brutality, as Black Lives Matter is changing us, we are seeing that we are allowing dark skinned poor people to die unnecessarily as we have been doing unawares till now. All the while we have the most corrupt and incompetent White House in our 240+ years of being a government. We'll see. We are in the midst of the trauma of all those things coming at us at once. We will either be a failed experiment as a liberal democratic republic or we will live up to our potential with the virtue and honor of the men and women who won our independence from oppression. Let's hope the new normal will be a total reformation of who we are as a people.
Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?
Question 20
Before you reprint any of this please correct the typos!!!! Also, I am looking for folks who are willing to read my material for editing and suggestions. If you know anyone please give them my email mjparkmdiv@aol.com or mjparkccw@gmail.com @imemjae. Thanks for doing this!

Granville, 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 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.
