  Positive Test For Covid-19, and the Government

  This form of media shows the government action in regards to handling the spread of Covid-19 across the country, specifically in Las Vegas. I chose this news story because I personally tested positive for Covid-19, and I believe that the government plays a strong role in the enforcement of rules that help to avoid the spread of the sickness. Although many view that the government has gone above its power to help protect the citizens of the country, it also is the necessary force that has the money, authority, and influence to do such a task. This text is relatable to me because I had to be tested, endure the actual sickness, and I was constantly burdened by doctors as well as similar government entities to share the people who I was potentially exposing. Legally, my positive test had to be reported to the government, but I felt that it was kind of an invasion of my privacy to report to the government the people who I live with who I could’ve been exposing. After I was safe to be around others after facing Covid-19, I felt a social burden, like I was a danger to others even though I was completely safe. All in all, the media source is relatable to me because of my experiences with testing positive, as well as how the government has a specific role to protect the citizens, even if in this specific case, the government may be abusing its power. The date provided is when I began experiencing my initial symptoms. Works Cited The Associated Press. (2020, October 19). Millions more virus rapid tests, but are results reported?

  The New Normal

  Due to the pandemic, the enforcement of using masks has changed my daily life. I had never had to use a masks but now I can’t enter any store without having one. Any store that requires masks won’t let anyone enter it without. This enforcement has gotten in me habit of never leaving my home without facial protection due to my fear of not being able to proceed with my normal everyday life. Though I know it is for the safety of my community it still has taken a huge part of my routine. #CSUS #HIST15H

This is a more detached form of humor because the post is American, but we truly only know what North Korea wants us to know about them.
