Description

Question 1: What are your current feelings about the COVID-19 pandemic?
I’m going to start wearing a mask so I don’t make other people upset by not wearing one. It’s gone on a really long time, and today I’ extra restless

Question 2: Have your opinions about the virus changed over the past twelve weeks? How?
Honestly no, I just wish people would be less ... strange about it. Haldimand and Norfolk mayors got haircuts this week in protest against the government keeping H-N closed. It seemed so ridiculous. We have lots of cases still because of long term care and migrant workers.

Question 3: As stores and public places have started to open up, does this make you relieved or more fearful? Why?
It hasn’t changed much for me except I like to go to the nurseries for a bit of colour and cheer.

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?
Mostly just isolation. I rarely go out. My friend was walking by and I didn’t even cuddle her baby who clearly wanted hugs. I felt like a monster. Got a mask today and I keep hand sanitizer in my purse for when I’m out.

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 don’t know honestly. I think yes but some of my family is weird about it so I guess I’d want to know all the facts. I’m definitely not an anti vaxxer. Those people drive me nuts.

Question 6: Have you been tested for COVID-19? How was that experience?
I haven’t been tested or even remotely sick during this whole time

Question 7: How much longer are you ready to live with regulations and limitations? When should things get back to "normal"?
I’d like to go into cities and explore and go on a trip, but I’m finding I have more energy not having to interact with people at work.

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?
Church opens Sunday. I’m excited for that. Otherwise I haven’t given it much thought. I’ll proceed as the health officials recommend. I miss concerts and summer festivals a lot.
