Covid notes

Answer 1 - Feelings

Currently I am feeling somewhat more optimistic than in March-April-May. Probably the better weather, increased knowledge about the virus, and some reopening of places are contributing to this.

Answer 2 - Opinions

My opinions change from day to day depending on the news. First we began to learn that it mainly affected older people but now young people as well. The fact that so many cases are asymptomatic makes it difficult to know how to go forward. I wish we could see this virus!

Answer 3 - Opening up

Both. A bit happier but also nervous that so many people- customers and staff- do not wear masks or distance themselves.

Answer 4 - Protection

We try to keep away from people (at least 6 feet) and places as much as possible. I try to shop for groceries only once a week, wear a mask, use a sanitized cart, sometimes hand sanitizer, sometimes gloves. I wash my hands
many times per day.

Answer 6 - Testing

Have not been tested.

Answer 7 - How much longer

Covid rates must go down significantly. Weeks, I guess.

Answer 8 - Future

I will continue to be very cautious. Will stay apart from people if possible. Will wear a mask for a long time. Will continue to wash hands!
