GLORIA JOY
Mrs Gloria Joy, aged 81
Are you surprised the pandemic has lasted this long and with such devastating effect ?Not really.
Why do you think it has been so widespread here and globally ?
Due to easy travel and so many people in a small country.
How well do you think the crisis has been handled ?Pretty well on the whole.
What lessons do you think we can learn ?Be more positive in bringing in restrictions quicker and abide by them.
What has been your biggest challenge over the last year ?Living on my own and my bubble so far away.
What has been your worst and best moment (s) ?My worst was being flooded at the same time as Covid; my best having great friends to talk to.
What has helped you keep you going ?Friends' support and having my house done up after the flood kept me sane. So much to do.
Who are your heroes in all this ?NHS staff and all key workers and all who have given up their time to help others.
Any other comments ?Everyone must be congratulated in coping with this virus so well.
