Title:

Shipper/Receiver

Answer 1 - Feelings

A little afraid, a bit skeptical on measures and a lot annoyed. Forced compliance to things against our nature is never fun and old habits die hard.

Answer 2 - Opinions

When I think I understand things, new information comes out that makes me even more skeptical about the measures that are threatening my job security.

Answer 3 - Opening up

Relieved. I want to go back to the way it was. People are getting the virus even with measures at the expense of a secure economy. At this point, I’m more afraid of a tanked economy than the virus.

Answer 4 - Protection

I was off work for a month. I just went out for my own groceries and I did groceries and errands for my parents who are at risk so they can stay isolated. I dropped groceries at the door and kept a distance. Washed my hands and my whole family got ramped up Vitamin D supplement. I have a good relationship with our microbiome. I understand that sterile is not good for my immune system. So masks and gloves were never considered except when I had to drive my parents to doctors appointments and be in the same car with them.

Answer 5 - Vaccines

No, I prefer natural immunity. I don’t trust vaccines, especially ones that are rushed and not properly tested. I would love to get tested to see if I had the virus at any point with asymptomatic symptoms as an option over getting vaccinated.

Answer 6 - Testing

No, I have not.

Answer 7 - How much longer

The summer is a good time to open things up when people are outside together with fresh space and lots of Vitamin D exposure.

Answer 8 - Future

Like I said, old habits die hard and I feel like we will all just revert back to how we’ve been all our lives. I see it now when I go out for drives, people just can’t help themselves. We saw it with the protests. It really just can’t be regulated.
