Abstract
Description
In this interview, Participant 29 discusses challenges related to social isolation, fear and loneliness. The participant shares about their active lifestyle prior to COVID-19, which came to a halt during the pandemic. They found refuge in virtual yoga, jazz, and painting classes, and virtual meetings provided the social interaction that was missing in life since the start of the pandemic. The participant wishes there were more support services for the senior community, who they feel has been largely left out of the pandemic emergency response plan
