The location of the interview
Galway, NY and Naples, FL
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 were in Naples FL and watched with sadness and fear as the numbers grew in NY.
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
I have more of an appreciation for the time I get to spend with family and friends. I travel a bit less.
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
I'm grateful for outside activities here at the lake or down in FL when I visit. Moving muscles relieves stress so pickleball, yoga, kayaking, walking or swimming make me feel great. It's important to enjoy nature and feel the joy of beautiful sunsets or watching the eagle fly over the lake. Getting hugs from my grandkids and family is the best!!!
What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?
Question 4
I've gotten to know my neighbors much more!! In FL we met in the parking lot for impromptu get together with social distancing. People here at the lake have always been friendly however, now people seem to want to do more to make our community better by pitching in together on projects.
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
Yes, I am a business owner. I could not visit customers in their homes. I had to do more phone work or help customers choose a Medicare plan by computer, phone or through the mail.
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 don't consider myself an essential worker but feel I provide a valuable service for people aging into Medicare.
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 not laid off and did not obtain unemployment. I have Medicare so I remained insured. My new business did drop quite a bit as I could not hold informational sessions or see people face to face. I think people just went online or called Medicare to enroll instead of using a Representative like me.
Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing?
Question 8
Yes. Websites I use sometimes are not functioning or lack all the companies I represent. Sometimes folks do not have emails or a computer!
Do you have children at home? How’s it going?
Question 9
No. I do see the struggles my family has gone through. Virtual learning was a disaster for some grandkids and an ok experience for others. It was a difficult transition for some to come back to school.
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 one grandson took a leave of absence due to several issues. He's getting help and considering what his next steps will be. Felt so sad for him! College was not a good experience with the pandemic!
How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?
Question 11
Watch a lot of Netflix and other channels! Ate too much and had to lose weight!!
Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead?
Question 12
We had small holiday gatherings. It was different but ok.
Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day?
Question 13
No. We thought about it but could not find one.
What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place?
Question 14
Appreciating my relationships so much more. I noticed the earth appreciated that the earth was cleaner!! I think more people should drive less and work from home. Families got stronger in many cases.
Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like?
Question 15
Yes. We lost a few friends and neighbors due to the disease. It was very traumatic for the kids to lose their dad-he was early 50's. Two neighbors in their nineties passed.
If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives?
Question 16
We held memorial parties recently.
What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began?
Question 17
That we would be ok with the amazing scientists we have. And that a vaccine would help things come back.
What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?
Question 18
Be aware that humans are innovative and will find a way to survive although some will not. You can have some things in hand but you'll have to find ways to deal with what you don't have or can't get. Take care of your health so you are strong and at your best!
How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?
Question 19
I'm still not ready for large crowds of people. Keeping closer to home may be the new norm and less travel.
Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?
Question 20
Live your life with joy. Embrace every gift you're given. Share what you have. Be kind and show compassion. Help one another!

Jamestown
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.

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 was in the middle of midterms week at SUNY Plattsburgh just before what was supposed to be our spring break. Word began to spread how people wouldn't be coming back after break because of the pandemic. As things got worse, students began going home earlier with their belongings and finally, it was announced that all of the campus would not be coming back to school and that we would have to do remote learning. Many were excited that they wouldn't be coming back, but I was disappointed. Before I left college, there were already reported cases in Saratoga.
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
When I came home, my mom was laid off from her job but my dad continued to work because he was considered essential. It was scary and sad because this illness was like an invisible monster that could happen to anyone, anywhere. My life now is very uncertain. Both of my parents are working now and I am wearing a mask wherever I go, though many people are not wearing a mask, including our president.
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
It was very unnerving at first because no one knew what was going on. We have never had a global pandemic like this since 1918 so everything that has happened is a bit surreal. My family wanted to move to North Carolina to be with all of my family so I have been doing home projects like painting and de-cluttering to relieve stress.
What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?
Question 4
Wearing a mask has become a sore subject in my town. Many people don't wear one even though we are supposed to.
If you’re a student, was school canceled? Were you able to complete your studies online? Do you think you’ll be back on campus in the fall?
Question 10
I was in the middle of my midterms when it was announced that we wouldn't be returning to campus after our spring break. Our learning switched to online and it was very hard to have classes that were not meant for online learning, like my public speaking class. Somehow, I managed to receive all A's in my classes though. I decided to leave my school and transfer to a local online college for this fall to be safe.
Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day?
Question 13
I have two cats and a dog and they definitely were a bit weirded out that I was home all day every day.
Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like?
Question 15
My friend's 104-year-old great grandmother contracted COVID-19 in a nursing home and passed away.
What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began?
Question 17
To not take the ability to leave your house and go places for granted
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 that they can't take life and privileges in life for granted. The ability to get in your car and just go to the grocery store became a privilege for me. To see other people became a privilege. Listen to your gut and even when other people are not following the protocol, do the right thing
How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?
Question 19
Honestly, I'm not sure. Everyone thought it would be gone by summer but here we are in August and things are getting worse in many areas because business opened too soon. I honestly can't say what the new normal will look like. Hopefully, we will come out of this stronger than we came into it.

How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?

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.

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