Answer 1 - Feelings

It's an ongoing challenge, and while annoying, the lockdown is needed.

Answer 2 - Opinions

As more information has come out, I've had less fear, with more confidence about it all.

Answer 3 - Opening up

Frustrated. The opening hasn't been completely logical, and it's been poorly explained why things were included/excluded.

Answer 4 - Protection

Distancing, and masks, primarily. I also use hand sanitizer more, but I don't bring any with me when I go shopping. Mostly it's been about cost and benefit. The masks and distancing were a no brainer, as we owned cloth masks before the pandemic, and distance is always the best prevention measure. At the same time, I go to work because mental health is important and the sense of "normal" is needed.

Answer 5 - Vaccines

Yes. It wouldn't be made widely available without reasonable scientific support for it to be safe, and a vaccine is the most effective preventative measure, next to isolation.

Answer 6 - Testing

No.

Answer 7 - How much longer

If it takes a full year, I'd be ok with regulations and limitations. I think some loosening might be in order of some limits, but until there's basically no spread, or there's a vaccine available, we need some protections in place.

Answer 8 - Future

When things shut down, my life barely changed, so when they all reopen, my life will barely change again.
