Answer 1 - Feelings

It is revealing the essence of the political structures that control our daily lives. AMERICA IS FALLING APART IN PART because their presidential congressional level has no real attachment to their constituents. Brazil as well is demonstrating just how much of a failed state it is as well. The pandemic has revealed just how dangerous it can be to not be self sufficient in core areas ie medical support. It has been revealed who are the important ones in our society as far as support and guidance.

Answer 2 - Opinions

No

Answer 3 - Opening up

For the most part other than restaurants most businesses have adapted to a a broader service platform online curbside restricted access and hours. Without a vaccine this opening up is a crap shoot as to good bad dangerous not. I am retired. My life has been impacted to date virtually not at all other than socially. I have no need to rush to brick and motor establishments other than groceries. I am going to continue to isolate my social interactions.

Answer 4 - Protection

Hand Sanitizer and restricted social Intercourse, not isolation per se but being mindful of infectious zones. Alcohol kills covid.

Answer 5 - Vaccines

Yes I would for the same reason I get the flue shot to increase herd immunity and protect the vulnerable in our society.

Answer 6 - Testing

Answer 7 - How much longer

For the rest of my life. The longer the virus prevails and does not mutate to a benign form the longer life altering modifications will occur and proactive means and technologies will have to be developed in order to live with the reality of the contagion. Hopefully normal will not be returned to.

Answer 8 - Future

I don't know. First the pandemic may not pass. It will mutate. Viruses are mother nature on steriods. The bubonic plague lasted for nearly 300 years and things carried on . We did have a dark age during its passing. All bets are off.
