Joanna Dreiling is a life coach living in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  She first heard about the pandemic while at Christmas Dinner in Virginia.  Soon after, during a spring visit to her family there, the country began to shut down, and she had to drive back to Michigan on eerily empty roads.  Joanna also advocates for reducing social media contact, or, at the very least, choosing to engage with it intentionally for the sake of one's mental health.  Interviewed 8 April 2020.
