Healthcare Education in the Covid-19 Pandemic
These are my students who are training at Northeastern University to become Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) The pandemic has created restrictions that have made training the healthcare providers of tomorrow more challenging than ever before. Students must be in full personal protective equipment including a facemask, faceshield, gown, and gloves. Between faceshield fogging, trouble breathing in the masks during more rigorous physical components to training, and many other obstacles to their learning, the students have shown inspiring levels of resilience. Their strength during these difficult times serves as a constant reminder to me of the ability of the human spirit to overcome any and all challenges, and inspires me to continue to try and find ways to mitigate the effects of the challenges due to the pandemic. Students deserve a proper education and experience, and it is up to educators to match their students efforts in overcoming the barriers that Covid-19 has constructed. -

Masks Everywhere
When the pandemic was starting to cause lockdowns, masks were often talked about. One thing that drastically changed with COVID-19 was that in order to slow the spread of the disease, masks were being mandatory to enter businesses. Carrying around a mask in my car became a habit, one thing I never would have ever expected to happen here. At first, I would sometimes forget to bring my mask somewhere or I would have to go back in to get it if I was going out. Eventually that habit stopped and a new one formed, I was always carrying a mask around, and sometimes I would even forget I had one with me. I always make sure to have a backup in my car in case of an emergency. I do miss being able to walk around freely with people without wearing a mask, again, another thing we all most likely took for granted, as it was swiftly taken away from us. I do not think in the future we will go back to exactly how things were, but rather, there will now always be people wearing masks to keep hygienic and healthy. -

"The Nightmarish Challenge of Trying to Get an Abortion in a Pandemic"
The article describes the recent challenges to obtaining an abortion in the US during the COVID-19 pandemic due to several states attempting to add further restrictions on abortion rights. It is important to understand that while it was already difficult for many to obtain abortions to begin with, the pandemic has added even more challenges for those seeking reproductive healthcare as well as more opportunities for anti-choice lawmakers to restrict abortion care. -

9 Ways Indigenous Rights Are At Risk During the COVID-19 Crisis

"For Those At the Front"
An electronic billboard in east Wichita praises healthcare professionals for their continued efforts in battling the COVID-19 pandemic. The language used in this sign is reminiscent of the gratitude extended to GIs in the post-9/11 era, especially during the Iraq War, thus reflecting the pandemic's growing impact that will cement it as one of the country's, and the world's, watershed moments. #NortheasternJOTPY -

Mother Health Care Professionals and their children
This image displays a baby, reaching out and touching the face shield of what seems to be her mother all gowned up and dressed in PPE. The woman in the picture who seems to be a health care worker who is also a mother is crying as she is torn away from beating able to hug and kiss her child because of the possibility of being infected after working in the hospital with coronavirus patients. This picture is especially special because it touches upon the hardships that health care workers are facing after working with patients all-day and not being able to have that relief of coming home and being comforted by their family members. This post was also made right before mother's day. The caption to this picture was in Portuguese and said "Mães. Hoje é o vosso dia. Esta ilustração vem ao encontro das mensagens que fui recebendo de profissionais de saúde que anseiam voltar a abraçar os filhos. Continuem com a mesma força de sempre. A cuidar dos filhos, dos pais e dos avós de alguém. O coração dos vossos filhos está carregado de orgulho. 🖤 a todas as mães um grande beijinho, um especial à minha. ✨ ©️2020, Sofia Pádua." When translated to English it said "Mothers. Today is your day. This illustration is in line with the messages I have received from health professionals who want to hug their children again. Continue with the same strength as always. Taking care of someone's children, parents, and grandparents. Your children's hearts are filled with pride. A big kiss to all mothers, a special one to mine. ✨ © ️2020, Sofia Pádua." -

Corona Virus Gucci Belt Meme
This is a meme that dissects how the United States is handling the COVID-19 pandemic. This is one of those memes that is funny but hits really close to home because it makes the viewer realize a harsh reality. Of course, we have more resources and options than a third world country. However, the way our country is handling this situation is not optimal. -
