Question 1: What are your current feelings about the COVID-19 pandemic?
Still worried.
Still worried.
Question 2: Have your opinions about the virus changed over the past twelve weeks? How?
Not really. They've stayed pretty consistent since I realized how serious it is.

Question 3: As stores and public places have started to open up, does this make you relieved or more fearful? Why?
Fearful. This will be used as an excuse to push people back to work before it's safe to do so, meaning a lot of people are going to be exposed who don't have any choice.

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. I also use cloth masks, and wash my hands after being in public.

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 want to be near others without worrying for my health or theirs.

Question 6: Have you been tested for COVID-19? How was that experience?
I haven't.
I haven't.
Question 7: How much longer are you ready to live with regulations and limitations? When should things get back to "normal"?
They should go back to normal when the virus is under control and not before. Although, people are saying things should never go back to the way they were before and that we should keep a lot of the changes (working from home, better financial support, etc.) and I agree. We should use this opportunity to make progress and move forward, not just make the rich richer some more.

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 probably won't be comfortable being close to others for a long while, even with a vaccine. I'd like to be out in public as often as I want without worrying again.
