First time traveling in Covid 19 Pandemic

For my primary sources I chose pictures that I took with my friend and family through covid pandemic and my first trip to my country which is Dominican Republic at July 4, 2020, and it did not feel the same because some people were afraid of hug me, talk to me and even I could see them put their mask on when they saw me coming to their way and I do not really blame them because even i was afraid to hug my significant ones because I know that the time we were going through it was a lot for them, I am not going to lie, I was scared to go out because everytime that I watched the news just I heard that millions people died from Covid and that did not give comfort to go out because I did not want to get my family and friends sick. At july 20th I traveled for first time in the pandemic and it did not feel great because the looks that people used to give me when I cough or sneeze it was like if I came from another place, I did not enjoy this vacation the wanted because I could not see the people i wanted to see and the people I saw were scared of me because of Covid. I selected this source because I want to show the historians in the future the struggles and the loss that many people had in 2020 because of Covid, for example the students had to take classes from their home which is basically teaching ourselves, people lost their jobs because the economic went down and there was not enough budget to pay the employers because the Country was not prepared for this situation, and that many people lost members of their family, this was a difficult time for all of us.

COVID Share Your Story #RITtigers #5, Engineering Major's Point of view

I've been forced into reduced hours for my co-op My father and uncle have lost their jobs. The loss of income and support comes at a critical time as I'm worried how my family will weather this storm. I am moving back into my parents house to help so we can pool our resources. Nevertheless I remain positive and thankful for my blessings. I have more time now, and I am healthy. My family is lucky as we've not been directly touched by the virus. While I know this storm is far from over there is a clearing on the other side, we only have to look for it. If I could give a message to myself at the start of this semester, what would I say? Hold onto the memory of grandma and the serenity prayer. Their going to help you through the coming months. (Also the winning lotto numbers are....;))

Help Wanted

While many small businesses shed jobs in the face of lockdowns, special needs communities saw an urgent need for more help to keep their residents safe from contracting the virus. One recruiting inducement was the promise of a hiring bonus, such as the one depicted in this photograph. Northeastern JOTPY

Post COVID Artistic Renaissance

The Arts have suffered heavily during the quarantine. Artists and those who depend on the arts for revenue have been flatlined by the loss of jobs. This is a hopeful reminder of how much our society depends on the arts and its future.

Safe drinking water must be part of coronavirus response package

Access to water must be included as part of the next major federal legislative package. We cannot expect to halt the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic without water for handwashing and basic sanitation. I am even more interested in how this is going to be administered to the Navajo Reservation that continues to struggle with COVID deaths as a result of limited access to water. In some place, zero access to clean and safe water for hygiene and sanitation.

LGBTQ people face higher unemployment amid coronavirus pandemic, survey finds

Surveys conducted by the Human Rights Campaign and PSB research demonstrate the vulnerability faced by the LGBTQ community during this crisis. LGBTQ people of color are disproportionately impacted by unemployment amid COVID-19. It's hard to process that these issues are present during an international crisis. At many times, it feels like the LGBTQ community is fighting a two front war. #ASU #HST580

From the article: "The coronavirus outbreak is pummeling LGBTQ Americans, especially those of color, leaving a population already vulnerable to health care and employment discrimination suffering from high job losses and a growing rate of positive cases, according to preliminary data collected from multiple LGBTQ advocacy groups."

Timing is everything in life!

As an empty nester couple at retirement age, with certain underlying health issues, our main concern is not our jobs,or cash flow, but rather the future of our children and grandchildren. While they are close, we are separated and isolated from them and this is very hard to accept, especially with no specific end in sight.
