Empty city
In these months of the virus's rapid expansion, China has taken measures to seal off its cities. In Wuhan, no one is free to enter or leave the city. Residents in Wuhan are also unable to leave their homes. All supplies, as well as food, are delivered by a single person. People were asked to self-segregate as well as social distance. The whole city was like an empty city, no vehicles, no lights, no people. The formerly bustling city becomes a 'dead city' with no breath. At that time, what awaited people was the rising number of confirmed diagnoses and deaths and the sporadic hope they saw as soon as they opened their eyes each day. -

By the time you read this, it will already be obsolete
They say in Vermont, if you don’t like the weather, just wait five minutes for it to change. I haven’t found it true of clouds or rain, but the news is on an hourly refresh: constantly changing, though never for the better. The world’s gone to dog time. Days have telescoped to weeks. Last week feels like a different era entirely, when kids went to school, businesses stayed open, you could grab lunch in town or take the cat to the vet. After days of pouring over graphs, I could redraw contagion curves from memory, but it all seems strangely theoretical. The number of reported cases in Vermont is still less than a block in Wuhan or Milan. And it’s never that busy here, so the towns look pretty much normal. Nationally and worldwide, the deaths are still lower than the flu, lower than heart disease, lower than car accidents, and yet the trajectories explode like a flushed grouse. While these fears, statistics, and calculations swoop through my brain, the real birds have returned: lines of geese, honking encouragement as they struggle against the wind; gangs of grackles, blackbirds and starlings descending on our feeders and glistening in the cloudy half-light. We should really bring our feeders in, as the warmth has awakened the bears. Last year the ground was frozen nearly until May. This year the snow vanished a few days before the pandemic arrived, winter evaporating as quickly as our former lives. My husband and kids, home all the time now, help me rake away last year’s leaves, uncovering bright shoots of daffodils, and yellow and purple crocuses already blooming. Soon the frogs will shout their odes to fertility from every pond, sending out an aural map of still water. Each time I go outside, my spirits lift, just a little, as non-human life goes on the way it always has, and the world tilts slowly toward warmth. -

Schoolyard Closure and Basketball Players Ignoring It
Attached to the permanent, metal private property sign at the edge of the yard of St. Thomas More Catholic School, is depicted a plasticized sign announcing that “Due to COVID-19 these school grounds are CLOSED except for walk through” by authority of the Ottawa Catholic School Board. In the background, across the grounds, at the basketball hoops attached to the school, three young men can be seen flouting the signs posted at several entrances in order to shoot hoops. Provincial restrictions have been relaxed since this photograph was taken, allowing for sunbathing and distant sports, such as tennis, in public spaces, however, the school grounds are private property and the signs remain. There has been an increase in activity around the basketball hoops since this announcement. -

Covid-19 in the desert
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the lives of many people. In my case, this has affected me in my education in different ways. First, universities and colleges had to close. I used to go to college four days a week, so my routine changed completely. Now with the spread of COVID-19, I must stay home because it is safer, and it helps to stop the spread. I must admit, I was enjoying being home, but after a few days I was easily bored. Second, students who planned to graduate this spring semester may have a very different graduation. I heard that the college is planning some surprises for them, but I am sure they would rather have a "normal" graduation. I was pretty sure the summer classes would be online, but I did not think about having the fall semester online too. I agree and disagree with the college’s decision to plan the fall classes online. I think it is a good idea to avoid future spread. However, I also think that maybe it may be an exaggeration. The biggest impact personally for me is my job I am a part time employee who has been working up 50 hours a week with none of the full-time benefits. I understand I should not be complaining because I am lucky to still have a job but its almost not worth it people are even more rude and its just taking a toll mentally. -

Downtown Boston Deserted
The beginning of Spring would normally have the North End and downtown Boston streets bustling with locals and visitors taking in the season after a long Winter. As the business shutdowns and stay-at-home advisories associated with the COVID-19 outbreak have gone into effect, the streets are very quiet with very few moving vehicles, and only a smattering of social distancing locals walking around. All the tourist and community sites are nearly abandoned as shown in this daytime photo. -

Goodbye, Spring 2020
By order of the governor, all Kansas K-12 schools closed for the remainder of the academic year to curb COVID-19's spread, making online classes a necessity and rendering normal spring-time activities, such as sports and commencements, an impossibility. This makeshift message on Wichita Northwest's campus expresses an all-too familiar sentiment that can be felt all across the country, from the East and West Coasts and in the nation's Heartland. -

The last "normal day"
It was on March, 9 2020 that everything changed my whole college experience. Being a first year in college it was definitely a learning experience while everything was going good until that day when I left Pima Community College for the last time that semester. When i left that day I had no idea not even a thought that, that would be my last day on campus for the semester. It was our spring break that next week so we were out of school regardless until I received an email saying that they were going to extend spring break a few more days due to the whole pandemic. While the cases were rising and rising it was not looking good around the world in general with people dying everyday there was no way that we would return to in person classes for the rest of the semester. I received an email from all of my professors saying that we would transition to online learning and having online lectures. And to this day we had online lectures however it is the end of the semester and all classes are finished and we can only hope that we will get in person classes in the fall semester of 2020. -

“I would say that it hasn't affected my faith or beliefs in any kind of..."
“I would say that it hasn't affected my faith or beliefs in any kind of drastic way. I've always grown up going to church and I still feel the same about my church and about my religious beliefs and God and I don't think that this pandemic was something sent by God to smite us or that we are being ignored by any kind of higher being or something for this happening. I think that just stuff happens and you know faith and science are two separate things.” -

History
When school number 22 was closed for the second time in my life, it was a shock for me. Imagine: one morning on March 14, I woke up and looked at the time "10:00 in the morning." Me: “What is happening? Why am I not at school? And my brother enters the room and asks me, as always: "Cho, have you been sleeping so long?" Am I so cho? Then mom comes and says: “Daughter, the school was quarantined again.” That day I did not know what this means (relatively recently, the school was quarantined, but only because of the flu in February). Then my family stayed at home for a month and a half ... then we all went outside, but for a while (half an hour) we walked a bit. we are sitting in the house again. You know, it’s scary, scary to realize that your life and the life of loved ones are in danger ((This is very, very scary. Constant threats to life. And yes, thanks to all the doctors, nurses and other people who are saving hundreds of lives right now ... -

Self isolation before it was labeled a pandemic
I'm an American living abroad in China, so we went through the pandemic a bit before everyone else. After I'd spent twenty five days in Hong Kong (originally intended to be a nine day holiday for Chinese New Year) with my boyfriend, we flew back to Shanghai because things seemed to be getting better over here. Regardless, we still came back to a lot of uncertainty. We were assuming that his apartment complex would be enforcing a stricter lockdown than mine (at this point, basically each apartment complex and neighborhood were setting their own rules). What I didn't expect was for me to be the one "trapped" at home and feeling anxious about the situation unfolding. As I eventually calmed my nerves, I decided to start channeling the anxiety into creative channels such as cooking and also this bullet journal. In many ways, these two hobbies have been incredibly therapeutic as they provide a way for me to feel like I have some sort of control when in reality, who knows what will happen? With time, I've been able to see how lucky we were here in Shanghai to have escaped the worst of the pandemic, but that same anxiety and not knowing what will change, how long this will last, etc continues as the virus rages on around the world. -

A Conflicting Agenda
This image portrays two women in downtown Sacramento in protest of the shelter-in-place lockdown that Governor Gavin Newsom implemented. One women is seen holding a sign that portrays Governor Gavin Newsom as part of the Nazi regime or compared with Adolf Hitler. Another woman is seen in the foreground carrying a child on her back with another sign declaring that “All Businesses Are Essential”. Both women are protesting against business closures, unemployment, and being unable to return to the workforce. While with some jobs work is almost guaranteed like those who work for the state, other private and small businesses are suffering. On the other hand, while having the freedom to assemble and speak openly comes with its benefits, the sign depicting Gavin Newsom as a Nazi is quite extreme. The level of ignorance present in this photograph equates its offensive demeanor and deeply undermines the experiences of Holocaust survivors and the other millions of lives lost. For me fellow Sacramentans, seeing signs and descriptions such as these make me feel less proud of the town I live in. I thought the pandemic would help us realize our insensitive words and unnecessary slurs but it’s only reminded many people of a troubled past. The pandemic has truly brought a side of the American people that I have never seen and as a young student seeing adults act with rational thought makes me wonder where our world will be in the next few decades. If the world changes, so do we. Some people have a hard time overcoming adversity and the pandemic has exposed triggers amongst the American people. One of them being economic downfall. The image clearly represents what some individuals believe to be most important and valued in life. It seems that we have reached a point through this pandemic that we no longer prioritize the lives of each other but rather how much money is in the bank. In many ways, this is a reflection of what America was built off of. -

Life during quarantine in the Coachella Valley
Our city is known as the City of Festivals; we host several festivals throughout the year. Two of the largest festivals, Coachella and Stagecoach, have been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This means a great deal of money and jobs have been lost. Here in the Coachella Valley, we are considered a tourist region, so when tourists can't come or events are cancelled, it is devastating. I was supposed to work at both festivals to help subsidize income for my family. Now, that has been made unavailable. And I am left looking for other ways to bring necessary funds into my household. Not having the festivals and several other events at our many Casinos has been really disparaging. We also have hundreds of Golf courses and resorts. This has put a lot of our people out of work. This also brings a damper to all of the other resources that help make these festivals and events complete. All of the maintenance, food vendors, and other vendors have also lost out of money. I actually work at a Boys and Girls Club and we have been shut down since March 16th. Although, I am still getting paid, it has not been as much as it normally would and that has hurt our family. We have four clubhouses here in the Coachella Valley with thousands of students; having to see these kids not being able to get together and play and have a place to escape for a while has been difficult. We have implemented virtual clubhouse programs to help keep the community connected. Although, that has been made difficult because several of our more eastern cities are more rural. These cities do not have great internet service. Therefore, several students cannot access activities and/or even participate in distance-learning. It is really sad to see how some of our students have not been able to get the help they need. -

Newport Beach
My roommate and I stayed at home for half month. We felt kind of sad and depressed. We heard the Newport beach opens. We spent half hour to find a parking space, because there were lots of people. On the beach, lots of people were playing and having fun. We were surprised the number of people on the beach, because that was a Monday. On the day after we went to the beach, we heard the local government closed the Newport beach again, because there were too many people on the beach. -

Class of 2020 Graduates at a Distance
Schools in Orange County closed a few days before the Governor of California declared a mandatory stay at home order. While this action has affected multiple aspects of the educational experience, it has also made it particularly difficult to celebrate those students that are graduating. Everyone is trying to figure out different ways to celebrate, one of which was to hang banners announcing the graduate and their college of choice come the fall. -

Where is my refund?! #CSUS #HIST15H
I was given this receipt when I returned my parking permit through an Express Parking Permit Return station in parking lot 7 of my campus. The University Transportation and Parking Services wanted to provide a quick way where students can drop off their permits without getting out of their cars. It was also a way to ease the lines that were forming in front of their office at Lassen Hall since the school announced the transition to online classes. I went on a Tuesday afternoon, during our transition period where classes were cancelled for four days. The parking lot were pretty packed and the UTAPS people were all wearing masks and gloves. I handed them my permit and they handed me a receipt. I could have completed the refund application and submitted it before school closed down but since this was a first-time occurrence, my Chemistry professor was unsure if we would still have to come in for our labs. I waited and then the chemistry department decided that it would be safer for everyone to stay at home and we would just have to do lab analysis online. This was the only refund I was worried about since parking permits cost a lot and we were about half way through the semester. However, I remembered since the announcement happened, many students were trying to push for other refunds such as lab fees, the Well facility fees, and any other expenses charged by the university. Some requests were successful while others were not. #CSUS #HIST15H -

Gallup, New Mexico, Shuts People Out, Preventing Navajo Patrons From Getting Supplies
“The outbreak on the huge Navajo reservation, the nation's largest with 175,000 people, have made people in Gallup nervous. Many see hints of the long-running racism that has divided people in the town for centuries. ‘They targeted the people around here. They're going to be coming to Gallup to shop, so they put a stop to that,’ said Johnnie Henry, who said two of his relatives on the Navajo Nation were apparently infected with COVID-19 while working at a hospital in Gallup. ‘We kind of look at each other and say, are we the ones bringing it? No, it's all over. There's a lot of people who want to go back into Gallup, but they're afraid that they're going to call us names ... say that we are the carriers.’” -

Lawsuit accuses Beshear, others of violating religious freedoms in COVID-19 orders
This article explains how three Kentucky citizens are accusing Governor Andy Beshear and other government officials of violating their religious freedom. The three plaintiffs attended Easter church and were issued quarantine notices on their cars that instructed them to quarantine themselves at home for at least 14 days. They claim that because they practiced social distancing at the church, they have no need to quarantine themselves and are refusing to do so. They are filing a class action lawsuit to fight this order and to ensure their religious freedom in the future. -
