Documenting COVID-19 in Niagara

Collected Item: “[Untitled]”

I agree:

Yes

Answer 1 - Feelings

I’m hopeful seeing the cases go down but still wary of a second wave. I’m definitely uneasy seeing people drop their guards as much as they have.

Answer 2 - Opinions

I have become somewhat less fearful of the virus as the weeks progressed because we’ve learned more about it and have seen that the social distancing has been working.

Answer 3 - Opening up

I’m concerned. If there is a way to maintain social distancing I feel more comfortable with it.

Answer 4 - Protection

Hand sanitizer and frequent hand washing have been my method of choice.
I have a cloth mask but use it sparingly. I don’t like the idea of touching my face more and it flares up my asthma.
I won’t do gloves because I’d rather hand sanitizer and wash my hands.

Answer 5 - Vaccines

I’m not sure yet. I’m a stay at home mom who’s pretty much home bound with my children 90 percent of the time.
I believe in vaccinating, I’m just uncertain if there has been the proper length of time to study this vaccine and it’s effects. I don’t really want to become a lab rat, but I also don’t want to get sick with this virus.

Answer 6 - Testing

I haven’t. Unfortunately early on I displayed all of the symptoms but was advised I didn’t fit in the category to get tested.

Answer 7 - How much longer

I hate the restrictions as much as anyone and would love life to go back to normal but I respect why they are in place. I’m not missing restaurants or retail. There’s take out and online shopping. What I do wish for the summer is things like beaches and splash pads to be open for the kids as long as we can still maintain distancing.

Answer 8 - Future

I think I’d keep more distance from people.
I’d wear a mask if I was coughing or sneezing. Work culture used to mean coming in sick and sucking it up. I hope that changes because there could be less spread of things from flus to the common cold
