I heard about the virus in late January at a business conference. I soon realized that due to everyday travel that it wouldn't be long before it was here. Fear did not kick in until school were closed and life as we knew if has forever changed. I was afraid because I was 5 months pregnant. With such little knowledge of the virus I was concerned for myself, my family and my baby.

I knew it was going to be much longer then two weeks that's forsure. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes 5 years or more before we get our freedoms back.

Isolation. Media fear mongering. Government controls without logic. Scared elder family members.

Our government should have taken better care of long term care, PPE Supplies and health care staff.

The positive is family.

I had my baby in July. No visitors. Couldn't leave the room. Masks on any time someone was in our room or anywhere in the hospital. Very prison feeling. My care from my OBGYN was very much the same as my first child pre-Covid. However aftercare for my new baby has been completely different. Haven't seen our family Doctor since my baby has been born, always a different resident Doctor. Appointments are far and few between. I am grateful to not be a first time mother durring all of this.
Very little support for mothers. Zoom is not really connection. It takes a village to raise a child and right now most mothers dont have their village support.

I will wait to be vaccinated. Only because I would like to see our older population get a shot ahead of me.

Freedoms. I fear our government has taken far to much away from people and businesses. They took it away fast and I dont believe they will give it back nearly as fast.

I want to take my child to a concert. I want to have a large family gathering and I want to go on an over night date with my partner, no kids.
