You can participate by interviewing your family or telling us your “Stay at Home” story. Some questions to help get you started:

• What is your favorite and least favorite parts of the stay-at-home order?

• Are you able to describe your anxieties concerning infections?  How to interact with your neighbors?  Community?

• Have you or your family had to learn new skills?

• What relationships have strengthened?  Which has weakened?

• If you had a crystal ball, what would you guess it tells you about the future?
