Description
(a) Interview with Veronica Bultron. Interviewed by Peter Moran on July 15, 2022 at New Haven Free Public Library Ives Branch, 133 Elm Street, New Haven. (b) Photograph of Veronica Bultron 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. Veronica Bultron, her son, and her partner lived in public housing during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the challenges of getting basic repairs completed, Veronica’s partner was diagnosed with cancer and lost her job. The stress of providing for the family financially, raising a son attending school remotely, and caring for a partner fighting cancer made the COVID-19 pandemic the most difficult period of Veronica’s life. She described a traumatic childhood, periods of living on the streets, and said nothing was as difficult as the worst months of the pandemic. Both Veronica and her partner had various health problems to solve during the pandemic, and the vaccine was a particularly challenging problem given a history of negative reactions to shots. In the interview Veronica described these challenges, and discussed problems of individual choice and safety, trust and the lack thereof regarding medical systems, and work as a teacher and childcare provider during the pandemic. Veronica’s family also may have contracted a COVID-like disease in February 2019, well before the world was aware of the disease’s existence.
