  Beyond Control

  Kelsie Grazier talks about her hearing loss, the uncertainty of pregnancy during Covid-19 and how both are heavily influencing her art. Her story resonates with me as I loose my own hearing and seek out representation in a world that ignores deafness. Kelsie Grazier's story resonates. Especially with the daily frustrations Covid-19 has brought upon us.

  Corona Rules

  Ever since Corona Virus there has been many new rules and procedures that all of us have had to follow, here are my thoughts and feelings on them. One of the biggest things we have had to do is wear a mask. I feel this is totally unnecessary and not a good rule. If anything only the sick and people who are scared should wear a mask. They are very controlling and considering how not deadly the virus is they are not needed. Social distancing makes no sense at all because they say the masks work so well, then why do we need to stay apart. An example of it not making sense is on a plane. On a plane they fill it completely with people jam packed next to each other for hours, but as soon as you are getting off you have to social distance, it makes no sense. Keeping everyone shut down is not ok. People aren't able to provide for their family because of a virus that's less harmful than the flu. The people that are scared should stay home, but not everyone because the only thing that is happening, is our immune systems are growing weaker and weaker because we are not exposed to the outside germs. They are trying too hard to make us avoid sickness and they are acting like we didn't risk our health every day before the virus.

  Corona Virus Theory

  There is many theories about the Corona Virus and there is many different feelings on the subject. I personally believe it is just being used to control us. I believe this because this virus has over a 99% survival rate and all of the people that are dying from it have already compromised immune systems, meaning they were already ill. It seems as though they want everyone to rely on the government for money because they can not work and that means the government has control over them. Another reason I think the virus is not serious is because of the fact it is flu season and nobody has gotten the flu. I think they are just taking illnesses like the flu and saying its corona because they are trying to scare people with exaggerated numbers. I have also not taken any precautions during this virus and have not gotten sick once. I have also noticed that if this virus was as dangerous as the media says they would definitely not let us out of our house, but instead we are allowed to go on tight planes, busses, and more things because apparently hand sanitizer and a mask can save us from a "deadly" virus. I don't think it is as bad as they make it seem and they are just using it as an excuse to control people and people are letting them.

  Cause of Covid

  I think that Covid-19 started in a lab in China. I think that they were trying to make a warefare weapon and during the process, it got on someones clothes or something and was accidentally leaked. Since the virsus is very contagious it didn't take long for lots of people all aroundd the world to get it. However, I don't think that covid is a big deal for most people. Mainly, why it is such a big deal is becuase the people in charge just want power over people and want to control their lives.

  What do I think the cause of the virus Covid-19 is?

  There are many different theories and possibilities as to what created this pandemic of Covid-19, and no body has truly figured out how to stop it or what the real cause is. I believe that Coronavirus has something to do with population control. I think that the government created this virus to subtly eliminate some of the population so that there wasn't an overload of humans, but they never had the idea that it was going to be this bad. It became uncontrollable, and has spread all over the world. Everything is shutting down and things are failing, the world is basically falling apart.

  Taiwan Went 200 Days without a Local Transmission

  Despite its close proximity to China, Taiwan just passed 200 days without a local transmission of COVID. The article states, "Taiwan has never had to enact strict lockdowns. Nor did it resort to drastic restrictions on civil freedoms, like in mainland China. Instead, Taiwan's response focused on speed. Taiwanese authorities began screening passengers on direct flights from Wuhan, where the virus was first identified, on December 31, 2019 -- back when the virus was mostly the subject of rumors and limited reporting." Taiwan's geography also helped its control of the virus. Being an island in the Pacific help it regulate the flow of people coming in and out.

  This picture shows us the potential amount of victim under different amount of control measure. Right now, the country is already under some controls hoping in the decrease of victims. The paper gives a broadview of how severe the virus might spread if there’s no control, some control, and severe control. Currently, the country is suffering form severe spreading, but the government have taken progress in controlling the virus. Statistic have shown us that the number of new victims have started to become stable. There ishope in the new future that the virus will be controlled.

  Sober Living

  I am residing in a sober living house following rehab for alcoholism. My sober date is Feb 14 - and I have been living in a house of ten ASICS in recovery now for 6 weeks. I will say after 40 plus years of drinking, and now one day at a time, lessons learned in rehab and recovery are coming in very handy. We start every day with a 7 am iremote 12-step meeting, and since being under ‘house arrest’ have had plenty of time to meet informally, prepare meals, and walking - my primary exercise now. I notice the overflowing recycle bins when walking - had I not sought treatment for my alcoholism I would no doubt be living a bottle 24x7 during the last month or so, since my work has ground to a halt. I think we were deluded in thinking we used to know what tomorrow and the future would bring. Know we know we don’t have a clue, and never really did. It’s out of our control! I am a huge fan of the serenity prayer, and recommend it to all - including my agnostic friends! God, Give me the serenity to,accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference. One day at a time! I with you peace and serenity!

  Vitamin Gummy Memes

  This meme focuses on the lack of stability felt by people everywhere. There is also a large part of internet culture that argues the amasingness of gummy vitamins over pills/chew able tablets. I am not sure where the man holding the watermelon came from. #FordhamUniversity #VART3030
