Abstract

Description

In this group interview, Participants 14 and 15 share that as older adults, their lives have completely changed due to the pandemic. The participants describe being unable to go to church, see their grandchildren, or attend funerals for family members who passed away. They share that the food distribution center they visit weekly has helped greatly in alleviating the challenges of COVID-19, and found happiness in taking drives together. Despite these obstacles, the participants say they feel blessed to be healthy, and think Governor Murphy has done a good job in managing the pandemic.
