Covid notes
Description
Question 1: What are your current feelings about the COVID-19 pandemic?
Currently I am feeling somewhat more optimistic than in March-April-May. Probably the better weather, increased knowledge about the virus, and some reopening of places are contributing to this.

Question 2: Have your opinions about the virus changed over the past twelve weeks? How?
My opinions change from day to day depending on the news. First we began to learn that it mainly affected older people but now young people as well. The fact that so many cases are asymptomatic makes it difficult to know how to go forward. I wish we could see this virus!

Question 3: As stores and public places have started to open up, does this make you relieved or more fearful? Why?
Both. A bit happier but also nervous that so many people- customers and staff- do not wear masks or distance themselves.

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?
We try to keep away from people (at least 6 feet) and places as much as possible. I try to shop for groceries only once a week, wear a mask, use a sanitized cart, sometimes hand sanitizer, sometimes gloves. I wash my hands
many times per day.

Question 7: How much longer are you ready to live with regulations and limitations? When should things get back to "normal"?
Covid rates must go down significantly. Weeks, I guess.

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 continue to be very cautious. Will stay apart from people if possible. Will wear a mask for a long time. Will continue to wash hands!
