How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?
I am a prisoner
How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?
I have (with help) learned how to download e-books from the library. My wife and I also assemble jigsaw puzzles, when we can find them.

Not much change here! People still walk and talk to each other.

What would you want future generations to know about the 2020 pandemic? How would you recommend they prepare for it?
Remember the cold war and stock your bomb shelter with a 6 months supply of as much as possible (for those of you don' remember the threat of the Soviet Union).
How do you think this pandemic will change how we behave going forward? What will the “new normal” look like?
The "New Normal" will likely be very similar to the "Old Normal"
Is there anything else you would like to add that hasn't already been asked above?
