This image shows how the city of Charlotte has cracked down on recreational areas. Previously, the nets on the rims had only been tied up. But people found a way to untie the nets and keep playing. This harsher action by the city shows how serious the measures are becoming to slow the spread. I took the picture.

We salute those individuals on the front lines diligently working long hours to aid those directly and indirectly impacted. We’re encouraging people to social distance with our rendition of The Police 1980’s hit song " Don't stand so close to me" as a reminder to be safe, respect others, and to work together so that we lower the number of individuals effected and affected by COVID-19.

Members of Brass-A-Holics, a staple New Orleans Brass Band, perform "I'll Fly Away" in honor of those who have passed during COVID-19. It is customary in New Orleans to celebrate the lives of those who have passed with a second line parade featuring brass music. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people have passed and their loved ones are limited in how they can commemorate them. In a facebook post, Brass-A-Holics states: "We lost some people this week 🙏 who unfortunately can’t have a traditional funeral. The least we could do... is what we do!!!!!! Our hearts and our prayers go out to their families. . . . #traditionaljazz #neworleansstyle #neworleansculture #visitneworleans #neworleanstours #NewOrleans #Nola #community #advocates #socialjustice #musicians #culturebearers #goodvisitorguide ⁠#dauphinetalesphotography #trombone"

My week-by-week account (updated one month at a time) of life in quarantine in New Orleans

From NPR: "Relative to other states, Louisiana experienced an early spike in COVID-19 cases and on March 16, the city of New Orleans issued social distancing guidelines that advised against gatherings of more than 10 people. That included funerals. When a few names on the deceased list hit close to home, Brass-a-Holics bandleader Winston "Trombone" Turner felt they needed to be honored like they would have been, ordinarily — with music. So, in a moment when so many are offering what they can for the common good, Turner picked up his horn and called a few friends to record a performance of "I'll Fly Away" in City Park. It's a song played at almost every traditional New Orleans funeral that allows the congregation to celebrate the passing of a soul from one life to the next."

The Table at Season to Taste was a small but beloved restaurant in Cambridge, MA. Unfortunately, they announced that they will be closing due to the pandemic and sent an email to their customers and subscribers. It was a small restaurant that only sat around 20 people but it was perfect for a fancy, delicious night out. This restaurant is just one of the many business casualties that this pandemic has produced. #NortheasternJOTPY
