Question 6: Do you feel like your local leaders - medical, political, business - are doing a good job in responding to COVID-19? What about at the provincial or national level?
What leadership? I have major concerns about our Acting Medical Officer of Public Health. Our Mayor seems to have left everything to the federal and provincial governments. MP left all to the Mayor. .I contacted both and they said it was the responsibility of the other. At the provincial and national leadership, I have more confidence though messaging has been poor.

Question 7: When do you think this will end? What challenges are still ahead? What will be different? What will be better?
When there is a vaccine. we need to be very careful about opening up too soon. There is not enough knowledge yet to understand this virus and whether antibodies are enough to protect longer term.
