Question 1: What are your current feelings about the COVID-19 pandemic?
Guess I am still finding our present place unreal. I have been working mostly. My husband and I were in isolation for to weeks because I had a soar throat one morning. I went back to work and the following week my husband died. I spent a few more weeks at home and returned to work. So my life is a different story then most. We are still waiting to have a celebration of life for my husband. And not being able to grieve with family and friends.

Question 2: Have your opinions about the virus changed over the past twelve weeks? How?

Question 3: As stores and public places have started to open up, does this make you relieved or more fearful? Why?

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?
I work in a pharmaceutical greenhouse so being fully gowned is our normal. I prefer to use personal wipes which I carry with me.

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?
It would be wonderful if we could checked for antibodies so that a vaccine would not be necessary. But vaccines have proven their worth many times over.

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?
