Question 1: As of this date, in what ways has COVID-19 affected you at work / school / other?
Right now I am working from home as a medical call centre employee. It has honestly been very hard going from a 2 income household to just one. I also find it very stressful to be working when we are not 100% an essential medical service. My fiance and I have concerns as our Stag and Doe and wedding are scheduled for this year and we have no idea what to do. We also have lost a family member to non covid 19 related illness but they cannot hold a funeral yet.

Question 2: How has it affected you at home?
I already suffer from anxiety but this has made it worse. I have no separation from my work and home life due to work from home.

Question 3: What are your biggest concerns surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak?
My parents health is a big concern. My father was recently hospitalized before the outbreak and has not fully recovered. I worry about the impact on our finances and wedding plans as selfish as that may seem.

Question 5: What are your opinions on how the media has covered the pandemic?
Its overwhelming but I understand the necessity of providing hourly updates.

Question 7: When do you think this will end? What challenges are still ahead? What will be different? What will be better?
I pray that this ends or subsides by June or July. Everything will be different afterwards. People will most likely maintain some reservations about social gathering while I'm sure other will embrace being able to see family and friends. Overall I hope people may learn from how this virus spread and just be more careful in general.
