The location of the interview
White Plains, 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 first started reading news stories about COVID-19 in China around January or February. I was following the stories and getting increasingly paranoid about it because cases started appearing in this country on the west coast in March. I am from lake George, NY but at the time I was living in White Plains, NY, attending to law school. Many of the flights from overseas were redirected to JFK, which was a half hour away from my apartment in White Plains. Although I had been reading about COVID-19, I never expected the extent to which it would impact me. I assumed that the U.S. could keep it at bay, or that it wasn’t that big of a deal. The media had talked about the idea of quarantine and masks but it seemed outrageous. When Italy got the coronavirus I started to get a little more alarmed but I still did not think it would impact us as hard. The first case that was near my town was in New Rochelle, around 20 minutes south, and the patient was a super spreader. I was very alarmed when I started seeing that people in surrounding towns were contracting COVID-19. The cases in New Rochelle were multiplying quickly and it became known as a hot spot and the national guard had to be deployed. One day in law school, we heard that Fordham Law and NYU law had announced they were closing campus and resuming studies online. Our school announced it would be suspending in person classes the next day. My last day of in person classes was March 11. On that day, the NBA suspended their season and the WHO announced that COVID-19 was a pandemic. The stock market plunged and a travel ban from Europe was announced. I was really scared that day because I knew the NBA wouldn’t cancel March madness, which profits them millions, without a national emergency.
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
As I am writing this, NY has officially flattened the curve. During the height of the pandemic, I only left my house to go to the grocery store. The trip there was scary and always gave me anxiety that I had picked up COVID at the store. Originally, the CDC told us not to wear masks, so no one had them on. Everyone tried to be distant, but it was difficult. I would spray all of my groceries with bleach after I got home, as well as wiping down my phone and keys. I washed my hands whenever I would leave and come back to the apartment. I mostly cooked, baked, and watched a lot of TV during quarantine. For a few weeks, grocery stores were ransacked and had no food in them. The meat, toilet paper, eggs, and potatoes were always sold out. Face masks, hand sanitizer, and soap were also. I was with my boyfriend for the first two weeks, and then alone for over a month, before I moved back to Albany, NY in mid May. Life is lonely in quarantine but is getting back to normal now. I didn’t see any of my friends or family in person for two months, so I spent a lot of time on the phone with everyone. Life is still different now, even though we are in phase 2 of reopening the economy, because we all have to wear face masks out in public. However, I am not as paranoid about catching it because the cases have been very low recently. Life is also different because law school has been fully online since March. I go to Pace Law School and they have given us the option of online classes for the fall semester and said that regardless, classes will be fully online after Thanksgiving break.
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
I was very lonely and stressed in the beginning of quarantine in March but I am feeling much better now. During quarantine, I would cook and bake a lot!! I would also clean all the time. Quarantine was very boring so I would call my friends and family as well. I was also very obsessed with the news during this time and I would be reading or watching it constantly, trying to figure out new information about COVID-19.
What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?
Question 4
I noticed that communities started holding car parades for kids birthdays so they could still be celebrated during quarantine. In the 518, they did the rainbow challenge, where rainbows would be posted all around the 518 area to cheer people up. I also noticed that people started to get donations to feed health care workers who were working long shifts. It surprised me how many people signed up to volunteer as health care workers and it was really moving because at the time, it was a scary thing. I noticed that zoom was utilized for all sorts of things. My family had Easter dinner on zoom, my classes are held on it, and I had a group chat with my friends as well. It surprised me that our whole economy was able to just stop and that we were able to all stay home for two months.
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
No I was not but I know that New Yorkers were able to get unemployment, even though it took awhile. I have many friends on unemployment right now and they also receive an extra 600$ weekly from the federal government. I also know that NY re opened the marketplace during the quarantine so that people who lost their health insurance from their job could retain it.
Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing?
Question 8
I am going to law school from home. I was unable to find a summer internship for law so I am attending summer classes. I like going to school online. The only challenge is that it’s hard to get yourself to work hard because it isn’t as stressful being called on at home. A lot of teachers don’t cold call on zoom, so it was easier to slack off after we went online. However, many of the teachers have started calling on people again, making it harder to slack off while doing the homework. Going to school online leaves open a lot of time that you would normally be using to get ready for the day, drive to school, park, and walk. Taking finals online at home completely erased my test anxiety and I really liked it. Mostly, taking a final at home was similar to in school. The teachers tried to eliminate cheating or looking up answers by increasing the amount of questions. Furthermore, generally a lot of exams are open book regardless because the important part is how to apply the law.
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
Yes school was moved fully online. It is optional to return in person in the fall. I will not be returning because I like online classes. Furthermore, my school announced that all in person classes will be moved to online after thanksgiving break.
How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?
Question 11
I used it for entertainment, news, and communication. There was a lot of funny content online during the pandemic. I watched TikTok, and saw a lot of funny memes about coronavirus. I use zoom for online classes and to meet with my family. I used snap chat a lot to send pictures to friends.
Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead?
Question 12
No it was my 29th birthday on May 14th, but the pandemic was dying down in upstate NY by that time. I had a few close friends over for a bbq.
Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day?
Question 13
No, I wanted to but my apartment doesn’t allow pets. I’m hoping to in the fall during the second wave of COVID-19 that’s expected.
What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place?
Question 14
Cheering for health care workers at 7pm, feeding health care workers, community social distancing parades, birthday parades, teacher parades, awesome online content, the world coming together against the same thing. The black lives matter movement just blew up(I think partly because everyone has been home in quarantine) and there’s been some really positive changes regarding race and the police. Also my boyfriend is able to finish school in a year now because all college classes are online so he can take classes at two different schools. My brother was able to move down to Florida but keep his job in New York City!
Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like?
Question 15
Not to my knowledge but I heard it ranges from being a symptomatic to being the flu from hell. I know it affects everyone differently.
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
I hadn’t stocked up on groceries and cleaning supplies, which I wish I did.
What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?
Question 18
We had no clue it was coming for us. Our government did a horrible job at preparing us or warning us. Make sure the government has a pandemic plan in place. It took a little getting used to, but it wasn’t all that bad. Stock up on toilet paper, masks, cleaning supplies, hand sanitizer, and meat(but don’t wait until the last minute like everyone else did and cause shortages). Get things to do to keep you occupied. If you like video games, get a console and games! Buy art supplies. You will get so bored that anything will help you lol. Also buy hiking shoes because the only thing there is to do is go outside!
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 a lot of businesses will keep their employees working at home if they can because it is a cheaper option for the employers and employees. I am hoping that schools will make it a new normal to offer all classes online as well. I think grocery delivery will become the new normal as well.

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
Early to mid March as I recall. I know we had two couples over to our house for dinner on March 15. We thought about cancelling, but everyone said they were Ok, so went ahead with the little party. A week later, we wouldn't have had company. I started to be more careful when I went to the grocery store, and I started to buy a few more non-perishables to have on hand. At that point, though, I had no idea of the severity and length and impact of the situation.
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
I am in the house a lot more. I learned how to use Zoom and have attended many classes and talks. I checked out bookstores and museums and libraries for interesting sessions. My church Sunday School continued on Zoom. My husband picks up ordered groceries at the supermarket so we don't have to go in. He has become an ace at making online shopping lists. He found if he only ordered one kind of a thing and the store didn't have it and didn't substitute, we would end up with nothing. So he started ordering three of a thing (like three different packages of Klondike Bars, hoping to get one). Then when we find out the store had all three items, we are swimming in ice cream. Oh, darn! (not). My friends are now calling the double and triple ordering "doing a Vince (my husband's name)." I have visited several friends on their front lawns or front porches. I have walked a lot more. We temporarily cancelled our house-cleaning service, and now we are doing all of it ourselves. I used to go out at least once a week for lunch with a girlfriend, and my husband and I would go out with another couple for dinner once a month. Not now. Also, we had tickets to a play and several musical shows for the summer that have all been cancelled and refunded. I am watching a little more TV and catching up on some movies I have on my to-watch list. Friends are sharing things they've seen and enjoyed on TV. I have my mask and disinfectant wipes in my car at the ready. My local art theater (which of course is closed) is still selling popcorn with curbside ordering. I've eaten several big tubs of yummy theater popcorn. I am a to-do list maker by nature, but I now enjoy making my daily list (of mostly mundane things like laundry or an email to respond to). My day feels more structured when I have actual things to do. Like a lot of people have said, I am having a hard time remembering what day or date it is. I have a little calendar right by my bed so I can quickly consult and get the day and date in my head if need be. I almost like when the weather is cold or rainy, because that more justifies me sitting in the house reading. When it's sunny, it reminds me I used to be out with friends.
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
I'm retired and on a fixed but relatively high income and have $$ saved, so I haven't had to worry about a job or paying bills. I am not so much stressed as worried for my kids' futures (both are in committed relationships, but it's not a normal time). I'm hardly ever bored in the house, but I am wondering when I can travel again. I have tried to use the time to get little projects done around the house, with only some success. I love to read, and I've done a lot of it, but I don't want to sit in my chair all day reading. I also have been talking on the phone more to my family and friends. I have a trip to the west coast planned for the end of July, and I don't know if planes will be safe and National Parks will be open. My mom turns 95 in August (in Arizona), and I would desperately love to be there for her birthday. But I don't want to risk my health or (especially) hers. I am not really stressed about my possible travel--the right decision will become clear in time. Both my adult children are elementary school ESL teachers, so they have had to fight the technology and call parents and students to start distance learning. They also had to explain in Spanish what parents needed to do to get their kids connected. But they still have jobs and a paycheck. Luckily, both of my girls (almost 33 and almost 31) are savers and have a cash reserves. My husband is a natural worrier and instilled in them the need to have cash on hand, probably not envisioning a pandemic, but for any kind of emergency or crisis.
What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?
Question 4
I live in the DC metro area, so we have an educated population but lots of immigrants and underserved communities. I haven't gone out much (or attended mass pool parties!) so I don't know how much people are following the rules. People in my neighborhood have been very good about keeping their distance when we pass on walks. Just in general, more things are online, like church and school and meetings and happy hours.
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
All the time. Facebook, Zoom, Google meets, gmail, whatever I can figure out or need to use.
Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead?
Question 12
Not a major event, but I did have a trip planned to California in May to reunited with two high school buddies. Then I was going to drive to see my Mom. That all was scrubbed.
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
I think Zoom and similar platforms are saviors. You really feel like you connected with the people. More strangers wave and say hello when I'm out walking.
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
Maybe how long it might last.
What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?
Question 18
That it's not a science fiction movie--it can really happen. We all have to bear witness.
How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?
Question 19
I think for a long time we will look at big crowds differently. I don't know about the handshake, but it might disappear.
Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?
Question 20
Thanks for doing this project. I forgot to mention I am watching a lot more news. Thanks for all the reporters and crews who bring us the news. One thing I am worried about is all the crazy-stupid-selfish people who fight the rules. They say, oh if I get it, it get it. Let's just have fun. Yeah, just have fun while your grandmother (or your mother) dies. I am afraid for the future of the country and the lack of someone with a decent IQ at the helm. If we have all these deniers and freedom-loving, gun-toting people, I don't know how our country can survive long term. Seems like we need to be two countries: the smart people and the stupid people. Gosh, how judgmental is that? I had a crazy idea some of my friends thought was interesting: Put a little semi-permanent tattoo on the arm of every violator or protester or naysayer. Then when they come to the emergency room sick and you see the tattoo, you can tell them to go home and "be free to solve the sickness on your own without all that government interference--like hospitals." It will be the same people who said the government can't tell them what to do who will whine and sue when the government doesn't do enough to save them and their families. How's that for finale?

Middle Grove, 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
Wednesday, March 18, 2020 was when the full impact of the seriousness of COVID-19 engulfed me. The director of the local library, where I was employed, told us to work from home and the library was closed until further notice. Thankfully, our Library Board continued to pay us but the adjustment to this isolation was very difficult.
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
Before the pandemic, I went to work 5 days a week and interacted with patrons, friends, and co-workers. I felt free to move about my daily life. Now I am working from home and only go out when absolutely necessary. It is scary to think that people can be asymptomatic and spread COVID-19 without realizing it.
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
I am fortunate to live on 20 acres of land that I enjoy even during the winter months by playing in the snow with my dogs. During the spring, sitting outside while working gives me time to enjoy nature's beauty in between tasks.
Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing?
Question 8
At first, I struggled with working from home. I truly missed my daily interactions with patrons, friends, and co-workers. I became depressed. To counteract my depression, I began exercising and playing with my dogs. I discovered that leaving the television on created background noise to mimic the hustle and bustle of the library. From negativity came positivity... I have learned to appreciate the stillness and aloneness in my life while taking time for life's little things.
How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?
Question 11
My job has Zoom meetings twice a week with our director and once a week with my supervisor. I have attended many learning sessions on Zoom, ThinkHR, Web Junction, and SUNY Adirondack Online.
Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead?
Question 12
My husband and I had to cancel our trip to visit my son and his wife in California. I took my frustration out on spring clean-up of our property. We do plan to reschedule.
Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day?
Question 13
My 2 dogs and 1 bird have become my daily companions while my husband is at work. When I finally return to work, I worry about their adjustment to being home alone again.
What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?
Question 18
Listen to the scientists and the data.

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.

Old Forge, 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
When we were to travel south to see friends in SC and go to Mexico to see family before going to CA. We gave up on going to Mexico because we didn't want to risk being unable to get back to the US. Then we decided to delay driving to CA until the virus is under control. We have had very little COVID-19 here. We have been amazingly lucky.
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
My wife is a university professor in CA. She was taking a leave of absence that was to end this month. Now they have declared that all classes will be taught online. We are going to stay here in the Adirondacks until next winter, it seems. My son who lives in NYC has moved here with us, along with his girlfriend and their dog. They too work remotely, so they're holed up here indefinitely.
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
I'm a little lonely, missing my friends and being able to go out for drinks and other social activities. I'm also somewhat depressed, but coping. We are on a lake, so we go out on our boat a lot. We can get food to go, and eat onboard. I do work around our house, things like cutting firewood. We watch a lot of streaming TV. We read.
What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?
Question 4
What has amazed me is how everyone in the area seems to mostly taking the virus seriously. There have been some big gatherings, usually with Trump flags on display, but those are relatively few and are usually denounced by most. The community has very much pulled together during this. Even with differences of opinion about Trump and the virus, they're all behaving as a community, taking care of each other.
How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?
Question 11
We have been using Zoom and similar services to stay in contact, and have been using streaming services to keep entertained.
What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began?
Question 17
The importance of masks. This could have been contained with the use of masks, as we now know. But more than that, I wish we had all known just how politicized this would become.
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 it was far more widespread and virulent than necessary because of selfishness and stupidity. The refusal to wear masks and take precautions stems from adolescent rebellion in people who should have outgrown it decades ago. Entire swaths of the country see themselves as rugged individualists, heroes standing up for their rights, when what they're really doing is having a tantrum and endangering the rest of us.
How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?
Question 19
There will be more opportunities to work remotely. People will be able to spread outward from the cities, bringing new prosperity to the rural areas.

Cheshire, England
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 the people were sick on the cruise ship in Japan. It became clear this was having a wider impact than other duseases
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
I damaged my knee just after lock down started, didn't want to go to hospital so it has taken til July to get a diagnosis. My mother was in a care home, we couldn't visit and then she died, not from covid directly, but I believe she gave up because she hadn't seen us. Her funeral was very weird, only 20 mins, only 6 of us there, and no gathering afterwards because of the rules. I have had a heart attack, which means they won't sort my knee until they have sorted my heart, but waiting lists are huge because of the backlog from lock down. So my life has changed beyond all recognition
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
I am stressed and anxious. I watch way more TV to fill in time. I am trying to eat healithily and walk regularly
What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?
Question 4
There has been quite a lot of community support with a food bank being set up, local companies doing deliveries. I am surprised by how judgemental people are about how others don't follow 'the rules'
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
My work ended with lock down. As an office holder rather than an employee I am not eligible for any benefits
Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing?
Question 8
I have recently started working from home. It has been remarkably straightforward, apart from needing space to store the papers.
How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?
Question 11
I have attended various lecture series, and a choir.
Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day?
Question 13
I have dogs. They have got very used to me being around, so I am concerned about returning to the office.
What positive things did you contribute to or notice take place?
Question 14
I did shopping for some of my neighbours. There was the clap for the NHS, and a number of people were making masks and scrubs for care workers. One of the schools cdt departments made visors.

Albany, 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
One son works in the medical field. He had been sharing information with us earlier in the year. I realized the full impact when NYS began to shut down and the overarching fear there was not enough medical equipment and beds for the critically ill.
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
I acknowledge that I am lucky, as I can work from home and can afford food. I am now sharing my home with family members who left an area of the state that was a hotspot. I am putting fewer miles on my car, working longer hours and have learned how to wash my hands properly and won't leave home without my mask.
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
I watch mindless TV shows, cook more complicated meals, and have plans to tidy up the house (which I have failed to do). My stress ebbs and flows - like waves.
What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?
Question 4
People in my neighborhood are more friendly. However, there have been a lot of shootings in other parts of the city. Also the mental health toll on friends and family.
Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing?
Question 8
Having four people work remotely within the frame of my home is challenging. There are issues with bandwidth, privacy and suitable desks and chairs.
Do you have children at home? How’s it going?
Question 9
My adult child returned home. It is going fine - it is good to know he is as safe as he can be during a pandemic.
How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?
Question 11
Facebook connects me with friends and family. I am texting with my friends, family, and co-workers. And I have become one with Zoom and GoToMeeting. In the beginning, I could not or did not want to join with friends for social hours because of the uncertainity and the feeling that I would never see them again. But now it is much easier.
Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day?
Question 13
My dog gets more attention and more walks.
Did you or someone you know contract COVID-19? What was it like?
Question 15
I learned that they had contracted COVID-19 after their recovery. It made the pandemic "real".
If you lost someone during the pandemic, how did you celebrate their lives?
Question 16
John Prine was one of my favorite composers, performers musicians. His early death to COVID-19 was heartbreaking - I listened to his music and read articles that celebrated his life and accomplishments.
What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began?
Question 17
I wish I would have known how long this would last. I am very fortunate - and I realize that I have access to broadband and the equipment to do my work and connect with family and friends.
What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?
Question 18
Appreciate your friends and family, prepare the necessary paperwork (living wills, health care proxy, wills), try to have your financial information available and shared. Figure out what is most important and focus on that. Finally, remember it is ok to laugh, even when things seem to be dire.
How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?
Question 19
People will work differently than before, and I fear a great toll on the economy will happen as a result of redirecting state and federal funds.
Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?
Question 20
It is almost a perfect storm happening in June 2020. The pandemic, hopefully social justice will occur,and end systemic racism and the divisiveness that is happening in the country. I fail to understand why people refuse to wear masks. I suppose they are the same people who refuse to wear seatbelts? Unfortunately, as the economy continues to fail, I am almost as fearful for our society as I am for the loss of life due to the virus.

Watervliet, 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
My sons school closed. There was a report of cases in the area and I had no idea how many people would get it and that my sons school would be closed from March till hopefully September. Not even sure if school will be open in the fall
How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
Question 2
My job closed and I have been with my 14 year old son 24/7 for 3 months straight. I usually work 40 or more hours a week so it’s been different being home non stop
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
Question 3
I’m scared, sad and uncertain about the future. I play games on my phone and watch tv
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 and yes I’m getting unemployment and I have Medicaid
Do you have children at home? How’s it going?
Question 9
My 14 year old son plays online games with friends and doesn’t like all the remote learning assignments. He feels like he has more work than if school was in attendance
How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?
Question 11
I don’t use social media but I do go online and watch the governor’s daily press conference
What do you wish you knew before the pandemic began?
Question 17
That there would be no toilet paper
What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?
