These are entries taken and edited from my diary. They describe my thoughts and life during the pandemic, from March 7 2020 to May 18 2020.

This is a brief story about a different way of communicating with my students through Face Time. It speaks to the flexible nature of teaching and how the pandemic caused me to shift my flexibility and availability beyond office hours. It's important to me because it has allowed me to grow as a teacher.

This story describes Bhutan's success in controlling and preventing the disease from spreading in the communities under the dynamic leadership of His Majesty the King. His Majesty's genuine concern and care for his subjects has gained the attentions and admiration of many in and around the globe standing as epitome to the rest of the leaders. This kind of success under the noble leadership of His Majesty the King despite limited resources and capacity needs to be heard and seen by other world leaders and economically sound countries as it teaches the importance of good leadership over wealth and power.

Following the announcement of Massachusetts's reopening, this order, signed by Governor Baker on June 1, 2020, clarified the details as to how the state would progress. While some states attempted to rush their reopening in a bid for a quick economic revival, Governor Baker and his team of advisors opted for a much slower and methodical approach, especially given Massachusetts's high number of COVID-19 cases and the correspondingly high death toll.

As states came under pressure to reopen their economies despite the pandemic's continued presence, the Governor's Office unveiled this phased reopening plan that sought to slowly revive the economy while imposing safety measures to guard the public's health. Northeastern University

As Massachusetts began its slow reopening process, the Governor allowed for beaches to reopen to a certain spectrum of "passive recreational activities." However, state authorities retained the power to limit the size of crowds and ensure social distancing.

Governor Charlie Baker's extension of the state lock down to May 19, 2020. As Massachusetts prepared to follow other states by gradually reopening its economy, the governor issued this order as part of "a measured relaxation of currently existing restrictions."

This order required that all residents of the state above the age of 2 years must wear a face mask/covering, either inside or outside, when social distancing is not possible. As scientists raced to understand COVID-19's transmission, the medical community's stance on face masks gradually shifted. In the early days of the pandemic, physicians and public health officials advised against the use of masks, citing their relative ineffectiveness, only to do an about-face a couple of months later by stressing their importance in cutting down on the airborne contagions that allow the virus to jump from person-to-person.

Effective on April 28, 2020, this measure extended the state's lock down by maintaining the closure of certain non-essential workplaces, as well as the prohibition on gathering of 10 people or more.

Order effective on April 9, 2020, that permitted graduate and senior level nursing students to begin practicing; a direct reflection of the dire need for qualified medical personnel to be on hand for the surge of COVID cases that could potentially overwhelm the state's hospital system.

In an effort to expand citizens' access to medical services, Governor Baker signed this order so as to require all major health insurers in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to cover any and all medical services related to COVID-19.

One of Governor Charlie Baker's early executive orders extending licenses, permits, and registrations not already covered by previous orders. This highlights the importance of ensuring that all essential services and operations were able to function with little to no interruption during the pandemic.

Signed on March 20,2020, this executive order sought to reinforce the state's social distancing measures by reducing the level of contact between people at the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Worker safety has been a top priority as states across the globe have struggled to maintain a semi-functioning economy, and is all the more important as governments try to transition into reopening. In Oaxaca, workers set up barricades outside of the Office of the Health Secretary to demand for more supplies to keep them safe.

People were anxious to find out whether or not their jobs would be classified as essential in response to the Coronavirus shutdown. One group who is instrumental in the race to find a cure are scientists and researchers working tirelessly to produce a vaccine. The Western Economic Division of the Canadian government wanted to say thank you to a team of those researchers.

The safety and health of workers is at the top of a long list of concerns as countries across the globe try to reopen safely while still combatting the pandemic. In Mexico, Don David Gold México has been hiding information about the status of its workers and has been stifling any discussion about the status of workers as it relates to the coronavirus. Workers are demanding that the government step in to handle the situation, starting with tests for workers

The way that worker safety and funding is handled is always an issue for government run health organization, and in a pandemic it is all the more important. In Oaxaca, at the IMSS workers have called for the resignation of their director, Moisés Sidharta Bailón Jiménez, because of improper handling of both internal affairs and funds during the pandemic.

Municipal Markets have a huge place in Latin American culture. They are not only a place to buy the necessities that are needed day to day, but also a place to socialize, gossip, and connect with one's community. This tweet announces that one of the markets in the community of Oaxaca in Mexico is closing so that it can be sanitized and then cleaned to minimize the risk of Covid-19

In the middle of a national public health crisis, a national racial crisis also occurred. As doctors and healthcare workers around the world work to save people, protests and large social gatherings seem as though they would be a new nightmare. Instead, numerous healthcare professionals have come out in support of the protests; they highlight that racism, just like coronavirus, is as huge national health issue. It is a discussion that highlights just how important it is to get it right in solving racism and addressing the systemic issues that plague this country.

I grew up in Michigan, and I still feel connected to the struggle residents in Flint face for clean drinking water, and in general the environmental health violations that get overlooked every day in the name of private interests. I saw this Tweet in my feed, and I'm not sure how to process it. Yes, Flint still doesn't have clean water and it's a problem, but for me this is another facet of the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Police reform & brutality are one component, yes- but the overarching umbrella of racism and the negligence of a healthy municipal water supply are connected to that fight.

The FDA, the President, and the American public has had a tense relationship with hydroxychloroquine since it was first hailed as a potential cure for the coronavirus. The president has said that he takes it himself, that it can produce very good results, and other claims in a similar vein. The FDA has taken a step that pushes back on this narrative, pulling emergency usage of the drug and stating that it does not have serious applicability as a potential cure.

COVID-19 makes people sick and it kills people. Another reason why COVID-19 is bad is that when people catch. sometimes they go into Comas

With the eruption of protests after the death of George Floyd, coronavirus did not take a break. It is still a primary health concern, but has taken a backseat to racism and systemic oppression that is afflicting the U.S. In this article, the CDC is urging social gatherings that are for protests to follow a certain set of guidelines. The twitter user points out the hypocrisy present in both the lack of discussion on the President's proposed politcal gatherings, as well as the lack of recommendations when individuals were protesting to reopen the country

People are growing exasperated with the mercurial nature of the safety guidelines that are being provided by both state and local governments. Combined with a reopening plan that is different in every state, the average citizen is frustrated about what they can, and can not do. What will be safe, and what won't be safe moving forward? When should we wear masks and when do we not need to?

Diariamente decenas de ancianos y mendigos, llegan hasta la sede del arzobispado en ma calle Santa Catalina, para conseguir un plato de comida ya que son personas en condición de abandono extrema pobreza, estas personas mencionan que no tienen trabajo por tanto no tienen para comer todo esto por culpa del gobierno y la pandemia.

Our formal front room is usually reserved for family gatherings or avoiding the noise if someone has the tv on too loud in the living room. While it has long also been a place where my dad drops his notebooks, newspapers, and articles he has printed off to read, in quarantine it has become his space even more than before. While I have taken up embroidery, my mom has been sewing masks for those in need, and my brother has retreated once more to his room to watch YouTube videos, my dad has turned back to reading. Most of my life he has only really read nonfiction: books on history, economics, and political biographies. But he has been retired for over 2 years now, and I think all the work-related reading has cleared his system, so he has begun to bring fiction back into circulation. His consumption of literature has also been increased by the fact that shipping fees have been waved on books for the last three months. I have never seen him read this much or enjoy it this much. He is keeping his books in a place of pride and easy access too, instead of gathering dust in the shelves in our basement office or under the coffee table. Usually the bay window in the front room holds only the wooden candlesticks my uncle made us, and maybe a seasonal decoration or two, but now they display his growing library as well. He’s had the time before now; being retired, but he had other options to occupy his time, like going out for coffee nearly daily or pursuing the hardware store. The pandemic kickstarted the habit which I think will be entertaining him going forward into a post pandemic world with spy novels and literature added to his biographies and political economy texts.

A definitive timeline of sightings of the humpback whale which frequented populated areas of the Saint Lawrence River (including Montreal and Quebec City) between May 24 and June 9, when its carcass was discovered. It was written by the Group for Research and Education on Marine Mammals (GREMM) which looks to follow and preserve the marine mammals of the St-Lawrence ecosystem in their online magazine Whales Online/Baleines en Direct. The rare siting of so large a whale so far upstream brought joy to those who witnessed it and contributed to the overall feeling that nature is flourishing as traffic decreases due to the pandemic. However, the whale's necropsy showed it likely died after being struck by one of the large vessels which ply the St-Lawrence regularly.
