Question 1: What are your current feelings about the COVID-19 pandemic?
That people aren't taking it seriously. That there will be a second, more deadly wave in fall.

Question 2: Have your opinions about the virus changed over the past twelve weeks? How?
Yes. I think to many stores are relaxing government guidelines and putting many of us at risk for their own profit.

Question 3: As stores and public places have started to open up, does this make you relieved or more fearful? Why?
Fearful as I work front line retail for large company that is not doing enough to protect workers. Limits of over 250 inside at a time is insane.

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?
Isolation as I have autoimmune disease and 2 elderly parents living with me that I am primary caregiver too.

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?
I would not be the first in line as at this point, I don't really trust what I am being told. Testing screw ups, numbers unreadable, WHO all for China.

Question 6: Have you been tested for COVID-19? How was that experience?
No as I have been insulating

Question 7: How much longer are you ready to live with regulations and limitations? When should things get back to "normal"?
Yes, I would live with regulations for as long as it takes. There will never be the normal we used to have ever again.

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 will probably continue to be very cautious and maintain cleaning high touch areas. I am considering trying to find a job that is NOT retail. Totally insurance that retail upped pay when they needed us most, and drop it now despite saying we are the most undervalued, low paying workers.
