The quarantine days for an international student from China
The picture shows the Chinese herbal medicine I had for nearly a month when I was quarantined in the US. This picture shows my desperation and helplessness as an international student from China, and what I can do to protect me from being infected by the virus. I believe that international students from China in the US during the Coronavirus crisis suffer most. Since the beginning of the 2020, we worried about the safety and health of our family in China; during the March to April, when virus spread rapidly across the US, we were restricted from going back home; and even if we went back home, we still encountered discrimination and misunderstanding of other Chinese people. In the US, we are also the loneliest and most vulnerable groups—we were all afraid of getting out, so we had quarantine at home by ourselves. To prevent us from being infected, we started to have Chinese herbal medicine (as showed in the photo). I drank the medicine for nearly a month because the medicine was the only things I had to make me feel safe and relieved. -

Indigenous Health Manuals: A Contribution to the Pandemic
”In this pandemic, indigenous peoples are recovering their ancestral heritage and sharing it generously with humanity. Although, in principle, it must be explicitly said that there is no cure for COVID-19, there are some natural remedies, herbs, that can help alleviate symptoms, and even reinforce the immune system, recovery, and recovery process after infection. This is where this knowledge helps, and it is possible to responsibly recommend the use of indigenous herbalism (which is the precursor base of modern chemical medicine).” -

Analyzing the Coronavirus Rumor Mill, news story
Jon Lee, English, examines social phenomena such as conspiracy theories and fake "cures" that arise during times of widespread illness. "We essentially have two different narratives running in an epidemic," Lee says. "One is the official medical narrative, which tells you where [the disease] came from, when a vaccine might be possible. But you also have the cultural narrative, which runs alongside--but often counter to--the medical narrative." -

The Challenges I Have Encountered With The COVID-19
Johanna Martinez Professor Nolan English 1A 16 May 2020 My Story Since the pandemics involving the coronavirus has occurred everything has changed for the worst including lifestyle, work, and school. I live in a house in Sky Valley with both my parents and two brothers. It is a house of 5 acres so we have a high monthly bill. Both my parents do not work so it's only my siblings and I who pay the rent. It has been very tough for me paying bills at such a young age that even with the COVID-19 it became much harder. I have been the one buying the groceries as well since I do not want my parents to be exposed to the vious since I know their amnt system is weak. However, it becomes hard since my mom has medicine she needs to be taking that only she can pick up which gets me very worried every time she goes. On the other hand, my sister just had her first baby and my family and I were very worried when she was at the hospital as well for the baby. Once she was out it was hard not being able to see the baby but we know it is for the best to keep her safe and healthy. All we received is pictures daily of how big shes is getting and how they are doing as well. I have also taken into my own hands helping my sister and her boyfriend out by buying them the groceries they need so the baby is safe with them home. Furthermore, work has been another challenge I have been facing daily since the epidemic started. My hours at work have dropped horribly which meant I was not going to be making the same amount of money as before. Now that I go to work I get more frustrated since when I do work we are not busy I go home two or three hours into my shift which does not help since it is more than a half hour drive so I have to pump gas often. As for my work environment it has also been hard working with gloves and a facemask since I do work with money I find it more challenging to make sure I have the right amount back or even breath well. Since I know I have to also help support my family by working I keep going to work trying to make the best of it. When I do come home I am careful and go straight to shower before seeing my family and having dinner with them. As for school it has also been very hard transfering to online class since I struggle more with learning online. Since the pandemic has started I have dropped two classes because it was being very challenging for me and was stressing way too much. I have been trying to get better at keeping up with my homework but it has gotten to the point where I forget or never see the notification. Now that the next semester is going to be the same as online class it is going to be hard again choosing classes I will be able to keep up with. Overall, it has been pretty tough dealing with the COVID-19 trying to keep my family safe because we are doing our best to protect ourselves. -

This is the wait line for prescription pickup at the Luke AFB Pharmacy. The total wait time estimated around 40 minutes in the sun on a day where the temperature was above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This line was created by the pharmacy to account for six feet social distancing with people in their cars to prevent the possible spread of COVID-19. -
