Abstract

Description

In this written interview, Participant 172 shares how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted their social life, and where they received their main information about COVID-19. They share that they did not face many challenges during the pandemic, but that they experienced difficulty getting food for their family with limited store hours, and caring for their pet. The participant shares their disappointments, and their fears about friends not taking the pandemic seriously and contracting COVID-19. They share their perception that rural areas were deprived of resources compared to big cities, and their belief that New Jersey should have had more restrictions, such as for travel.
