"We all had it. It started with [my partner] Abigail, and she was really sick for a few days when we were still in Brooklyn... We both thought it was a migraine, and then it turned out she was vomiting a lot, which she doesn’t really get from migraines. And then she said she’d feel a little bit better by Wednesday or Thursday, I guess, to get out of bed. But then I was really, really sick. I couldn’t get out of bed. I wasn’t nauseous or vomiting, but had an extremely sore neck and upper back, with a slight fever. We didn’t realize at the time that was what was going on. Then that weekend, I mustered up enough energy and strength to bring us upstate [from our home in Brooklyn]. I went and got a U-Haul, hooked that up to the car, packed the thing all day. It was really rough. But at the time neither one of us thought that we had it, we just thought that, you know, we had some kind of illness, flu, or whatever. And we got up here, and we were both in just really bad shape.” — Christopher (Brooklyn, NY) 7 0
“I currently am a ‘displaced’ person in Taiwan right now. I came here before this whole thing blew up and a couple days before I went home, all of a sudden everything blew up and all my flights home were canceled. I’ve been ‘stuck’ here since then. The most enjoyable part has been being able to be with friends and be back in this country exploring and seeing the beauty of nature here. The outbreak was kept under control here so life is mostly normal. Least enjoyable has been missing my family and close friends at home and also feeling a bit lonely at times. I don't feel trapped I would say but I do feel uncertain of when the appropriate time to return to America is.” — Emily (Taipei, Taiwan) 11 0
