Theme	Illustrative Quote
Feedback regarding institution system and administration	The health system leadership has done a better job of open, honest, and transparent communication, but their tendency is to conceal information. I hope they have learned the importance of transparency, but I worry they will revert to concealment.
Workflow/adjusting to home	For me, working from home has actually decreased my work-related stress and my productivity has remained stable. I recognize this is in part personal preference and fortunate circumstances, but the fact that the university and my department has encouraged this and been supportive with IT help and weekly updates has been enormously comforting as well.
Need for mental health services and coping strategies	I need a therapist after this. It feels like the stress and anxiety are consuming my life.
Expressed appreciation for the study	This survey made me feel little better by just expressing how I feel!
Feedback on specific survey items	Though it may confound the data you’ve already collected, I would have appreciated more guidance on what “help” means, unless it was intentionally left that open to interpretation.
Concern for COVID-19 status	It would be nice to have antibody testing to check for immunity. It would be nice to have more tests for COVID-19 that are rapid. It would be nice to have reassurance that we have enough masks and gloves. It seems we have enough.
Other	A vocation to serve is deeply satisfying. The trauma/PTSD of truly caring for all around you from patients, colleagues, staff to family...are all one and the same. Stress of infecting my wife and likely death has made her stressed and I am the vector/risk factor...but will not stop serving others.
