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?
It occured in an online conversation with someone in Italy. I did not have a mask and didn't need to go out, so I stayed home since the parks were closed.

I am pretty much a shut in now.
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
I feel isolated. I spend a lot of time talking to people in online chat apps
What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?
The blatant political response to a public safety issue. Any support I presented to businesses with essential workers was met with horrible customer service. That surprised me the most.
