ICYMI: KPBS Midday Edition spoke to four San Diegans about how their lives have changed during the pandemic. Here are their stories ⤵️
In March of 2020, San Diego was in the early days of an unprecedented shutdown. Governor Gavin Newsom told everyone in California to shelter in place with few exceptions as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold.
'It was a really special time to be able to have people close to you when you know, up until that point I didn't really feel like I belonged'"At that time we could hear the cheering going on downtown and every night it felt like it got a little bit closer to Bankers Hill. And I could not wait until it finally made it up to Bankers Hill so that I could go out and cheer as well.
'I've seen people get vicious over not having the right creamer, or having to wait an extra minute in line when we were very short staffed'"I remember the first day that school was canceled, things were shut down and people were panic buying. I remember the lines were all the way to the back of the store and the attitudes of the store that day were pretty grim.
"I think learning and training to be in the mental health field while COVID was happening was such a strange and unique experience.
"In addition to that, my wife lost her job right away when the pandemic hit. So immediately, as much as we were blessed to not be sick or know anyone who was sick, we had that stress of her losing her job right away. We were only a year into our first mortgage. So we were first-time condo owners and only a year in here she is having to find a new job already so that was stressful. But then when she found her new job, she had to work weekends, which was something that was added stress.
