Description
Question 1: What are your current feelings about the COVID-19 pandemic?
I am worried that as time goes on and more things are opening up, people are forgetting why we did this to begin with. They think that the threat is over and it isn't. As things open up I feel we need to be more vigelant and careful about our interactions with the public. I also don't like that I can go to the outlet mall, but I am not supposed to go and be with my family. Stores should expand their signage to add no mask no service.

Question 2: Have your opinions about the virus changed over the past twelve weeks? How?
I have stopped watching all of the News on TV as it was making me anxious. I want our economy to get back on track, but I want our health to be considered.

Question 3: As stores and public places have started to open up, does this make you relieved or more fearful? Why?
I feel that people are becoming too lax, but at the same time, I am tired of being afraid that everytime I need to go somewhere, that I am going to get sick.

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 at first, and my daughter has done alot of grocery shopping for me. I wear a mask when I go out, and last week I put some warm water and soap in my car when I was going out to get some strawberries, so that I could wash my hands.

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?
Yes. I don't want to catch this and I don't want to pass it on to anyone else.
Yes. I don't want to catch this and I don't want to pass it on to anyone else.
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"?
I don't know how much longer. I want to be able to go places and do things, but I want everyone to stay healthy.

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 not feel comfortable in a crowded theatre or arena until there is a vaccine.
