Answer 1 - One year ago

At work with my colleagues watching the PMs announcements and wondering how it would impact the sector (LTC ).
Then: unsure
Now: tired, satisfied with the work the team has done to prevent the vulnerable residents from getting covid

Answer 2 - How long?

Expected it to last till the summer.
Now I think it will go until fall 2021

Answer 3 - Challenges

Navigating changes in the LTC sector, dealing with the restrictions. More transparency at government levels. Inconsistencies caused people to question the severity of the virus and resulted in non compliance with public health measures. Vaccine delay in Niagara region despite many active outbreaks in LTC in the region.

Answer 4 - The bright side

-cooking meal kits at home/trying new recipes, opportunities to connect virtually with loved ones.

Answer 5 - Experiences

LTC senior manager. Thankful that we kept residents covid free!

Answer 7 - Concerns

Low vaccine uptake resulting in the pandemic continuing. 70 and under age groups not following the rules and spreading covid- possibly overwhelming the Healthcare system (especially as they are not yet eligible for vaccination).

Answer 8 - To Do List

Have extended family gatherings again.
Dance with friends at a wedding or bar.
