Have people in your community supported one another during the pandemic? Talk about why or why not, and maybe give some examples.

People in my immediate community are supportive. And I mostly don't associate with those that don't that don't believe in government or community, so my friends and family have been supportive as well. My parents had a hard time around the holidays, but it wasn't too bad, just had to adjust a few things. I find people in the community supportive of neighbours, and of where I work (nurse in hospital and community). I think for the most part people are just tired, they don't necessarily need to have their lives back exactly as they were (to me the expression "when COVID ends" has been said way too much, and I always assumed it would last a couple years), but people want to not have to think about every trip or interaction they make. The support of frontline workers is less obvious, but in individual interactions it still comes through. Many people from my neighbourhood groups have asked about my homeless clients more often, and seem to be actively donating a little more.
