David Downs is a man of very few words. He is 64 years old and works a laborious job in an aircraft plant for Textron Aviation. He also manages a home with many animals, including horses. When I asked him to do an interview, he wasn’t terribly excited, as you can see by the short answers and hear by the bored voice. However, he did admit that time off work was a silver lining in the pandemic, as well as getting to spend more time with his family.

Toni Downs is the Director of Surgical Services, the Cath Lab, and Endoscopy at Mercy Regional Hospital in Manhattan, Kansas. She is 64 and has been in nursing since she was 21 years old. She has worked there for over a decade now, and has seen many challenges while working there. This pandemic has been the worst she’s seen since being a nurse, but it is not without its blessings. The nursing profession has been strong and fierce in fighting this pandemic and as a director, Toni sees their dedication and strength. When asked what her silver lining is during this pandemic, she immediately goes to nursing. Toni touches on other front line workers that deserve recognition, but she thinks that the pandemic has caused people to pay more attention to the hard work nurses do for their community. She sees being a nurse as a caring and rewarding job, and is glad other people are starting to see it too.

I interviewed my boss, Ted, who is the owner of Loretta in Newburyport. I asked him a few questions of what he had to change since the pandemic began. Before I started asking him questions, I made sure he was okay with me recording and then posting this on the Covid-19 archive. Ted was given guidelines from the CDC and the government for what he had to change, and he was the one who had to implement them, which was challenging. This will benefit people looking back at 2020 because they will hear how we had to change from the perspective of a small business owner, which doesn’t happen very often. Small businesses are often silenced by larger chain companies since they are more well known. From this interview though, people will see how Ted really cares about the restaurant and keeping it open for the guests.

I watched her go through the entire pregnancy from October-April and in these months, COVID-19 was introduced, declared as a pandemic, and was being researched while we all quarantined. Giving birth is never easy, and for Brittany (the mother) this was her third pregnancy, her first child being born prematurely with complications, her second a C-section, and was hoping for a more smooth experience for her third but then the pandemic happened. She feared getting sick in the hospital but also not being ready to be home and just take phone calls in case of emergencies or appointments. This is an Item of interest to future historians that helps illustrate something particularly significant about the year 2020, because it is a first-hand experience of what happened inside the hospital, before, during, and after giving birth. This will help historians better understand a mother's mindset and the regulations implemented in the hospital. This item holds a voice recorded experience that was lived in an important time in history.
