Mary: Hi, my name is Mary Bevlock. I am an artist. I draw people from around the country. I watch TV, I like to color in my coloring books, my favorite colors are blue and orange. I am part Italian and part Irish. I like going to the Poconos with my brother and my sister-in-law. I like to go shopping and bowling. My favorite restaurant is J.D. McGillicuddy's and Applebees. I like to hang out and talk. I work at Center for Creative Works.

Kaitlyn: Mary, we are talking about some of the changes that we've been experiencing during this time. My first question is: What is your understanding of the changes and events going on right now? (Reframed) What do you know about COVID-19?

Mary: What?!

Mary: Yes!

Kaitlyn: What do you know about it?

Mary: I know that I hate it, for one. I hate it! I hate it!
