Abstract

Description

In this interview, Participant 7 expresses a sense of fatigue in navigating the COVID-19, taking on multiple roles at work to support their organization when staff lay-offs increased during the pandemic. Sharing disappointment over how the public reacted to the pandemic, the participant describes a memory of grocery stores being left empty at the pandemic's onset as many hoarded goods. The participant fears the potential loss of work, and feels afraid that things will never return to normal.
