Upstate 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
When I saw what was happening in Italy last year when they were running out of hospital space. It became a lot more easier to understand why my mother wasn’t letting me go into town.
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
I don’t talk to people as often, I go on the internet a lot more and I’m paying a lot more attention to politics.
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
Stressed and worried for the state of our country and our democracy. I listen to music and take walks. I also like to watch comfort streamers.
What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?
Question 4
There are so many more people than I thought that just decide to ignore science. There are so many people in my community who just believe that this isn’t a problem.
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
In March school was canceled and we went entirely virtual. I did all my work and I did well until the end of the year but I know many of my classmates did not. We went back to school full in person unlike a lot of other schools and even with the recent rise in cases we have only had to go online for two weeks once. I think that we will close down soon with the recent outbreak.
How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?
Question 11
I am using it to learn so much more about our world and became radicalized politically through social media. I use it to talk with like minded people and debate those who want to debate. It has helped me a lot with debate skills in the classroom.
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 quarantine when my uncle’s wedding happened so we had to watch it virtually and I was really sad about that. For Christmas we stayed home because the people we were going to spend Christmas with got COVID.
Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day?
Question 13
I have two cats that we got a few years ago. They crawl into my lap when I’m having a bad day and they make me a lot happier.
What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place?
Question 14
The protests all throughout the pandemic. I supported the BLM protests as much as I could.
Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like?
Question 15
One of my friends and a couple of other people I know got it. They were really sick but they weren’t hospitalized and it wasn’t good. One of them had to quarantine from the rest of her family because she was the only positive case in the house so they couldn’t see her.
What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began?
Question 17
I wish I knew how to look up information better and how to fact check more easily because of all of the misinformation being spread.
What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?
Question 18
That this pandemic is raging on in America because of incompetent leaders and an inability to listen to science. Listen to the scientists, help others, and learn to think for yourself.

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
There were really two different events that made COVID-19 seem like more than just a news article. When the nursing facility where my mom lives closed down access to outsiders and kept the members in their rooms and when the NBA suspended its season in the span of 2 hours.
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
I work from home and I practice social distancing. This means not going for a hike where other people are already hiking, less frequent trips to the grocery store, and being mindful of others. I also haven't seen my parents in several months as both of them are considered high risk. I've also noticed that my reading habits have changed. I used to really enjoy heartrenching stories but I tried to read Overstory and I just couldn't do it. So I've basically switched to Sci-fi.
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
Honestly, I'm not as stressed out as I was in March and April. I have a nightly cocktail, play video games online with my brother, read ebooks, and help my wife with her garden.
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 wasn't but my wife has been furloughed. It was a confusing process to collect unemployment but she has been able to collect. She has been able to maintain her health insurance but she may have to pay her employer for her health insurance from her unemployment cheques, we just haven't heard anything yet. We are also not sure if she will be laid off. And we really won't know until maybe August.
Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing?
Question 8
Yes, I'm working from home and I really enjoy it. I've often thought about the pointlessness of driving to an office building just to sit in front of a machine when I could do the same work from the comfort of my apartment.
How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?
Question 11
I have really fallen for TikTok. After I eat lunch I usually spend the rest of the lunch break browsing the app. It has been fun to watch the trends change over the months. Back in March, my feed was a ton of "blinding light" dances, the kimchi nurse, lipsyncs, and practical jokes. That has all disappeared since the protests began. Now my feed is full of police in riot gear, tear gas, and tips for protestors.
Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead?
Question 12
My mom's birthday, which I almost totally forgot about. It just wasn't something I was even thinking about. Like people still have birthdays during a pandemic, people are getting married, and graduating from school. So we met virtually and we sent her some jars of cake.
What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place?
Question 14
Black Lives Matter is sweeping the nation. Also, I think more people realize how important it is to spend time with your family. I like to hope that the pandemic will cause us as a society to re-evaluate what is truely important.
Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like?
Question 15
I personally know of a few people. One from my wife's office and he was in the hospital for several days on a ventilator and his wife was at home and was unable to visit him and had no phone contact for several days. So far 5 people at my mother's nursing facility have died, she can look out the window and see their empty rooms from across the courtyard.
What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?
Question 18
When I began to take the pandemic seriously I remembered that my great grandfather had died during the 1918 pandemic. There are only two things I know about him: he worked in a cinema as a projectionist and he died during the pandemic. I also thought about how generations pass on warnings. I lived in Japan when the tsunami hit in 2011 and one of the things that caught my attention was stories about Tsunami Stones. These are stones that marked the location of high water during past tsunamis they are hundreds of years old carrying messages carved in stone warning future generations not to build below these markers. I wonder what my great-grandfather's advice would be and I wonder how we can pass on a lasting message to future generations about this global event.
How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?
Question 19
I have no idea. As New York state is slowly reopening and there is cause for concern that there will be a second wave either in the near future or come autumn. But also who would have thought that two weeks ago our country would be protesting in the streets for BLM. I hope the new normal is a better place.

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