Description(a) Interview with Tiffiny Stanley. Interviewed by Penny Newbury on 20 July 2022 in Woodstock, Connecticut. (b) Photograph of Tiffiny Stanley taken at her interview. She was interviewed as part of the Connecticut Historical Society's Community History Project discussing her experience during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Tiffiny was scared when she first heard about COVID. She did not have work for a while, so she picked up a side job walking her friend’s dog.
Tiffiny protected herself and others by wearing masks and practicing social distancing. She was happy when she heard about the vaccine.
During the pandemic, she used the internet to research COVID, use social media, and watch movies and TV.
The pandemic was difficult for Tiffiny because she could not exercise and do the sports she enjoys since they are indoor sports.
Her advice to people experiencing future pandemics is to wear a mask, social distance, and quarantine if you feel like you are ill.
NotesSubject Note: The Connecticut Historical Society’s Community History Project (CHP) is a public-facing initiative, focused on contemporary collecting, gathering items of the recent past as well as from events happening today. This program developed community historians to identify, document, and preserve their experiences as residents of Connecticut, and to share these experiences during a series of community presentations. The project focused on the impact of Covid-19 on Connecticans, particularly on Black and Brown communities, funeral homes, and on nursing home and elder care populations.Tiffiny was scared when she first heard about COVID.
