Abstract
Description
In this interview, Participant 227 shares about their experience not having physical contact with loved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic. The participant describes challenges related to loss of income and feeling isolated when they were not used to living alone, but shares that they relied on their faith for strength. They express disappointment hearing about the death toll of the pandemic and fear that a cure will not be found. The participant talks about being exposed to COVID-19 many times in their work and responsibilities within their church community, and shares their perspective that New Jersey's quarantine period should have been longer or more enforced.
