  For most religions, helping in the community is a necessity. For Sikhs, it is no different.

  Differences in who receives the COVID vaccine

  As of right now, some professors and University staff in various colleges are able to receive the COVID vaccine before students. Within the population of students, there is even more fracturing of who is able to receive the vaccine as some students may be high risk which then puts them in different vaccine categories. Tulane University is vaccinating, “School of Medicine, School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and School of Social Work faculty, staff and students who work directly with others in the New Orleans community, Campus Health staff who work directly with infected students and employees and their close contacts, Frontline food service and custodial/operations staff who engage directly with the student body in dining halls, residential facilities and elsewhere, and Employees over 70 years of age.” Schools are also distinguishing which students specifically get the vaccine as some have begun providing it for medical students. https://www.wwltv.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/tulane-to-receive-5000-covid-vaccine-doses/289-b7b9e80e-4538-4190-ba1e-7a7bfd879221 https://www.kwtx.com/2021/01/21/temple-college-nursing-students-qualify-to-receive-covid-19-vaccine/

  A security guard sits at a desk at temple, child sleeping next to him. With no tourists, there is nothing to guard.

  On Friday night, I went looking to find optimistic stories and found none. Shop owners without customers, Tuk tuk drivers without fares, a boxing stadium without any visitors, security guards with nothing to guard.
