Life carries on
2020 has been a constant spiral downward since the beginning of the year and now has reached a new low with the outbreak of the corona virus. It has hindered our ability to get together and finish off the school year forcing us apart to complete it online. A time for celebration ruined as we were nearing the end of the school year and the class of 2020 missing out on there most important event of the school; graduation as it signifys there moving on up in life. The photograph represents the tracking of cases which is just getting higher and higher as it continues to spread causing the closure of public spaces. So far this year has been tragic and we have all lost things and the road to recovery is still a ways ahead so we must continue to move forward. -

I can't believe it's riot season already
This meme is a comparison of U.S. Fall holiday jokes. Normally, we joke that in the fall the stores start changing out their holiday items the day after a holiday. For example; the day after thanksgiving stores will be stocked and ready for Christmas. This meme is joking that we have not even recovered from Covid-19 and another disaster has already begun. -

Italian Wife Plays Recorder. Husband Is not Pleased.
During the Corona outbreak, people in Italy sang in unison from their balconies. However, in this home, the husband was fed up with the noise and the awful recorder playing. So he lashed out. She yelled back at him. This shows how tensions in a marriage were greatly heightened by being forced to spend 24 hours a day with each other, seven days a week. -

Kath Day-Knight's guide to isolation
I found this really funny. It’s a very Australian Covid19 meme, using screengrabs from Kath & Kim, an iconic Australian TV show. Part mockumentary, part sitcom, the show’s eponymous characters are an outrageous mother-daughter duo who live in the fictional outer suburb of Fountain Gate. On reflection, the boredom, banality and mini-dramas of suburban life are actually a strangely perfect parallel to our lives in lockdown. Many of us feel like we are going slightly loopy. We may spend unusual amounts of time engaged in mindless activities around the house or garden. We used to squeeze thirty minutes of exercise or a trip to the supermarket into our busy schedules. Now we shape our weeks around these events. Once allowed to drink and smoke in the world’s bars and beer gardens, we are now, like Kath, forced to uncork the chardonnay night after night (or, let's face it, midday) in our own kitchens. Upon discovering this meme, I had been spending a lot of time drifting around the garden gazing at trees from different angles, watching birds and trying to speak to my chickens (Kath 4). My friend’s brother was sitting on an exercise ball in a work Zoom meeting, and a colleague asked him, “Are you sitting on an exercise ball?” He didn’t realise he had been bouncing up and down (Kath 1). Another friend has been on a reading craze in lockdown, devouring about one book per day-and-a-half (Kath 3). Which Kath are you today? #HUM402 -

Threat Levels in the U.K.
The British mentality of keeping a "stiff upper lip" is legendary. This piece pokes fun at the way the British have handled various monumental events throughout history and how they relate to the current crisis being faced. Originally found on the website imgur.com, the meme seems to be playing off of an older joke found at https://www.eetimes.com/england-raises-security-level-from-miffed-to-peeved/?utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F# -

Doctor asking us to stay home
This image, and others like it, began circulating my social media feeds around mid March in reaction to people not wanting to stay home. The doctors were putting their lives on the line to save those that became ill and the least we could do was stay home. The theory being that if we all stayed home then there would be less people infected and the rush of covid patients would be slowed. I personally took the stay at home order/ask very seriously. *This image appeared in my Facebook feed. It shows a doctor holding a sign asking everyone to stay home. -

Thank you, Key Food window signs
As I walked past the Key Food grocery store in downtown Jersey City, I saw hand-made signs in the windows of an apartment across the street. Normally these would be expressions of gratitude to health care workers, but these were directed at the grocery store. It expressed how hard it has been to get food at times during the lockdown, and how much we have learned to appreciate the people who work in grocery stores. -

Clear Skies
These are two examples of a type of photograph that began appearing all over social media during April 2020. At that point, isolation and quarantine measures had been in place in many parts of the world for weeks or even months. The sudden reduction in traffic had a notable effect on the clarity of the atmosphere in these places. The Los Angeles photo is striking because LA is known for being under a yellow haze of smog to the point where a yellow tinge is associated with the city. The Himalayan Ranges image is striking because it reveals something that was previously invisible. There haven't been many upsides to COVID-19, but the demonstration of how it is within our power to drastically reduce air pollution is a powerful message.

Dead but Free
Governor Newsom had implement the stay-at-home order for the safety of Californians but some don’t follow it due to the fact that Americans are born with freedom and don't have to stay in their homes if they don't desire to do so. So this meme is addressing how people still go out although the amounts of killed and affected by COVID 19 are skyrocketing as I speak. #CSUS #HIST15H -
