  Picnic in Royal Park

  This was a more joyful moment from lockdown. For long periods of Melbourne's lockdown a picnic in the park was the only way to catch up with friends. It became a very popular activity for my friends and lots of other people in Melbourne. Every evening when the weather was good the parks would be full of groups.

  At this point I miss taking BART too

  This TikTok video features a college student highlighting the top San Francisco Bay Area places he wants to visit when quarantine ends. His wishes include Great American in Santa Clara, Pier 39 in San Francisco, Grizzly Peak in Berkeley, the Outlets of SF in Livermore, Ocean Beach in San Francisco, Twin Peaks in San Francisco, Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek, Mission Peak in Fremont, and the Great Mall in Milpitas. The creator titled his video "At this point I miss taking BART too." BART is the public transit system that connects the Bay Area and is known for being overcrowded and often sketchy. This person must be desperate for a sense of normalcy to miss riding BART.

  The Pandemic-Plagued Playground

  Although Sedgwick County Park remained open to visitors, all playground equipment were off limits, thus reflecting the virus's stealthy transmission via children. Should a child contract the virus, they seldom exhibit symptoms but can easily pass it to adults. Measures such as those depicted in this photo therefore proved to be vital in mitigating COVID-19's spread. Northeastern University
