Title:

Mrs.

Answer 1 - Feelings

Frustrated mostly. I miss the interaction with friends over lunch or while shopping. However, still maintaining my distance from everyone. Miss my volunteer work at the history room of our local library. If I need to go out I have my mask and gloves and use hand sanitizer often. Had a fall, planted face first but was unable to go to the emerg nor see my doctor. Still have trouble with my left cheek and eye.

Answer 2 - Opinions

I am not as cautious as I was at first. Still maintaining my distance but find I am out more. Trying to get an appointment with my doctor to check my cheek and eye.

Answer 3 - Opening up

Actually more fearful. Some people just don't get the 'maintaining distance' requirements nor the reason for mask and gloves. As much as I need a haircut I will not be one of the first to make an appointment.

Answer 4 - Protection

Mask, gloves, hand sanitizer. More sanitizing of door handles, etc.

Answer 5 - Vaccines

I think not. Unless the doctor recommends it. I am basically healthy for my age and believe the vaccine should be given to others with health problems, i.e. lung or heart issues.

Answer 6 - Testing

Have not been tested.

Answer 7 - How much longer

As long as it takes. Things will never get back to what we consider 'normal' and sometimes change is good.

Answer 8 - Future

I will continue to use safety measures, maybe without the mask, but will continue to use hand sanitizer. I have no problem keeping my distance from people.
