Collected Item: โ€œ[Untitled]โ€

I agree:

Yes

Date:

April 30, 2020

Answer 1 - Work/School:

I am considered an essential worker so I am still working, but we have closed our storefront. Instead our store is offering pickup and deliveries. As for school, everything has switched to being online.

Answer 2 - At Home:

My boyfriend and I are staying home as much as possible, besides grocery shopping and going to work. We have been watching lots of Netflix, Harry Potter, and we are planning on re-watching the LOTR Trilogy.

Answer 3 - Concerns:

I am concerned about finding a job after I graduate next year if this pandemic results in another recession. My boyfriend is already unemployed and cannot find a summer job.

Answer 4 - Infected?:

No, thankfully everyone I know is safe and healthy!

Answer 5 - Media Coverage:

I mainly check government websites and updates to find the most accurate information. It seemed to be exaggerated at first, but mostly everything I have read regarding changes to daily life are true. I enjoy articles of people discussing what they have been doing while at home.

Answer 6 - Leadership:

Mostly, there are now talks of re-opening the economy which is scary.

Answer 7 - End?:

I think that this will be ongoing until 2021. Social distancing and staying home more will definitely be practices I will maintain for awhile, even once things start getting better. Sanitization will probably be increased in the public and at home.
