“I can’t tell if I’m actually sick or if I’m just feeling hyper anxious. I’ve gotten into the routine of taking my temperature, then drinking a glass of wine”
Photo: Mark Wilson/Getty Images As many Americans entered their first full week of their new, more restricted reality, feelings of isolation and anxiety rose alongside confirmed cases of COVID-19. By Friday evening, New York was approaching 8,000 cases — and one in five Americans had been ordered to stay indoors by state decrees. We asked our readers how they were handling it all. Here’s how 1,023 of them responded.Somewhat anxious and/or scared: 39.
“I am currently 20 weeks pregnant. My doctor’s office has had a number of confirmed cases , leading to a major restructuring of staff and office visits. I will likely not see my current doctor in the coming months as she is working solely on deliveries and surgeries in the hospital. My husband is only allowed to accompany me to appointments, but cannot be in any exam room.
“I am a NYC kindergarten teacher in a high-need district. The last three days have been difficult to process. How do we create meaningful remote learning opportunities for five year olds? Who don’t have technology? Who are sharing one tablet with other siblings who are also expected to learn remotely? How do we deliver services to our students with special needs? How do we support our parents? There is no plan. We will get creative. We will find a way. But this new reality is overwhelming.
“My mom is a nurse. People have been stealing masks and hand sanitizer from the hospital, so she and her coworkers do not have the PPE they need.”
