Confused, angry, stressed, irritated
Confused, angry, stressed, irritated
Question 2: Have your opinions about the virus changed over the past twelve weeks? How?
Yes, my feeling have changed immensely.
Why can thousands of people protest, shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, no masks but my grandson can not attend a proper Graduation. Why can thousands of mostly teens hangout on Victoria Avenue and River Road airy, with or without masks, holding hands, absolutely no social distancing but I can't go get my hair cut.
I think rules need to apply to everyone or just get rid of the rules. If we do not know how to safely be in public or in private settings, we should just lock ourselves in our homes.

Question 3: As stores and public places have started to open up, does this make you relieved or more fearful? Why?
Relieved but only partially because most places want you to wear mask, I last a few seconds with a mask because of COPD and I am sure I am not the oy one.

Question 4: What have been the primary ways that you have protected yourself from COVID-19? Isolation? Masks? Gloves? Hand sanitizer? How did you decide?
Hand Sanitizer/ washing hands frequently and only going out for necessities.

Question 5: If an effective vaccine is developed within the next year and becomes widely available, would you get the vaccine? Why or why not?
No, I would not, as I don't believe it would benefit me.
No, I would not, as I don't believe it would benefit me.
Question 6: Have you been tested for COVID-19? How was that experience?
No
No
Question 7: How much longer are you ready to live with regulations and limitations? When should things get back to "normal"?
Things should be back to normal now.

Question 8: Have you thought about how you will interact in the community once the pandemic has passed? What will you do the same or different day to day?
I am going to go on as normal, not much has changed for me. I would love to get a haircut and my grandson are both overdue to see the dentist.
I can honestly say if mask-wearing, social distancing is going to be the new normal, I am glad I am closer in age to the exit door of life.
