A photo of Rev. John Restrepo, pastor of St. Dominic Catholic Church in Lakeview, who, when the quarantine started and the church had to close, moved his ministry outdoors. He has come outside most days and continues hearing confessions, talking to parishioners, and offering advice and counsel. Last Monday when I drove by the church, there were four people (at appropriate distances) waiting to speak to Restrepo. In March, the New Orleans Advocate did a piece on him: https://www.nola.com/multimedia/photos/collection_86663b02-6ac5-11ea-84a7-0fae923e109c.html#1 -

03/24/2020Social Distancing:Is Everyone Zooming Without Me? Comic
A four panel comic addressing both the distress of isolation while social distancing, the fear that opportunities for socialization are being missing while isolated, and poking fun at the trend of having large, multi-person online video calls. This comic is part of an ongoing autobiographical and comedic series of comics by Dami Lee. As such, the comic also shows how the pandemic has made its way into everyday life and ongoing business and artistic pursuits, creating a wealth of new experiences around which artists may base their work. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-IQb8UAigc/?igshid=14wukruz8k51d *Dami Lee, @dami_lee on instagram*screenshot/ instagram post/ comic*Dami Lee, @dami_lee on instagram -

The Norman, Oklahoma UPS Store has changed their policy customer capacity per CDC guidelines to encourage six foot social distancing. This particular store only allows in three customers at a time. On previous days there has been as many as ten people waiting in line inside while others use the mail box section or shop their shipping supplies. This limit of three customers is designed specifically for the six foot social distancing practice to be observed. Beyond the three customers, requires that people must wait in line along the sidewalk outside the business. Contributed by Clinton P.

05/21/2020A meme about how introverts and extroverts are handling the lockdown.
A meme shared in a Discord server about how extroverts are having a hard time handling the lockdown while introverts are doing alright. As an introvert my daily life hasn't changed too much aside from not being able to go out and do things occasionally. I don't mind staying at home at all while I have friends who are really struggling without being able to go out and socialize in person. -

04/28/2020Ontario Electronic Road Signs Urging Motorists to Stay Home 1
Photographs taken along the 401, through the Toronto corridor and into Eastern Ontario. Road signs usually used to indicate road closures and promote road safety are used to promote remaining inside. As this route is also that which is taken by many "snow birds" (people who winter in the south and return to Canada in the summer) as they returned by car, the signs remind them they are obligated to quarantine for 14 days. Other flashed messages on these signs said as much explicitly. These photographs were taken while driving in a moving van after travelling from London in the southwest off the province to Ottawa in the East after collecting my (Hope Gresser's) belongings which had been previously been left behind when returning home from university due to threads and rumours of a full lock-down which would have stranded me there after my lease was up. -
05/06/2020Learning From Home
The students are 6th graders at Colorado Academy, a PreK - 12 independent day school in Denver, Colorado. After departing for Spring Break, and not returning to physical school, the students began Learning From Home and taking classes via Zoom. After 8 days in this “new school” the students wrote reflections on their “new reality." They were given complete freedom to craft any type of statement that tapped into their emotions about the change forced upon them by the Coronavirus pandemic. Please note that neither of these pieces was edited by me or by their parents (they actually had not see them until I asked for permission, and I did not read them until they were turned in to be graded). -

Face Masks as Fashion
One of the most interesting things to watch during this pandemic for me is the rise of designer face masks. Ever since the CDC advised personal protective gear (PPE) to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, people have begun making DIY face masks or purchasing them from retailers ranging from small to large. There have been luxury face masks around before the COVID-19 pandemic—the most notable example in my mind is the all-Gucci outfit singer Billie Eilish wore to the 2020 Grammys that included a mask covered in the Gucci logo, which I think was simply for fashion despite the Grammys occurring in late January, around when people in the United States began to be on alert for the novel coronavirus. I had seen some designer face masks worn in photos compilations of “Instagram rich kids,” who are usually children of business moguls, celebrities, or royals, but had never seen them reach enough popularity to be worn by people in my social stratosphere (white & upper-middle class/upper-class) until now. What has been most fascinating to me are designer face masks produced by individuals, not by these large fashion labels. During this pandemic, most major luxury brands are not selling face masks. Instead, most “designer” face masks being sold are made by individuals profiting off the prestige or popularity of a brand. For example, on Etsy, where searching “designer face mask” yields 14,000 items for sale, people are selling “designer-inspired” or “stylish design” face masks covered in logos by companies such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, or Chanel. Another example is face masks created using actual designer fabric, which seem to be much less common than the designer rip-offs. One of my neighbors who owns and runs a high-end boutique created a small batch of face masks using vintage designer fabric from similar brands like Hermes and Louis Vuitton. When my mother and I ran into her on a walk, as she showed us the masks, she half-joked to us that we needed a “going-out” mask, a simple mask for going providing protection that you don’t mind getting messed up, and a “social” mask, a “fancy” mask like hers meant to be seen by others. I have not seen any “social” masks or designer masks myself being used out in the world (granted, I try not to leave the house as much as possible), but the popularity of designer masks can be clearly seen online. The fact that most of these “designer” masks are projects made by small creators is incredibly fascinating to me. The social capital that comes with owning something with designer logos is so strong that it is persisting during a time that people are going out of their way to create designer-rip offs for products that are not even on sale right now. I initially thought that because the pandemic we are living through is such a “time of exception” that people would be so concerned with just surviving that any social capital that comes with owning luxury clothing would be eschewed, but instead people are finding new ways to flex their wealth. Because most of these designer-logo masks sold by individuals are affordable for almost everyone, it will be interesting to see as time goes on how the amount of social capital that comes with owning one of these masks changes. -
04/22/2020Mr Darcy's COVID greetings
This meme resonated with me because I'd noticed several other aspects of society that reverted to Austen-esque practices during COVID-19. Emails became more like letters; personal and sometimes lengthy. People really began to enjoy walks in pairs again. It forced us all to slow down and consider one another more.

Long-Term Changes?
Today I decided I would do my run outside with my dad. We stayed pretty close and only went a mile out from the house, two miles total. On the run we passed my old elementary school and there was caution tape all around it. This made me feel like I shouldn’t be outside. I was only outside for twenty minutes though and I stayed six feet away from everyone I saw on the way including workers and even my dad. Also, I listened to a podcast which discussed something I really got to thinking about. It stated how the last time we were in a national state of emergency was 9/11. Before 9/11 you could just show up to the airport and get on your flight and go, but after the tragedy the government put up a lot of security in airports and now, we have to wait in long lines for police officers to look in our bags and sometimes pat us down. The last national emergency changed the world. We may think that the social distancing, quarantines, mask wearing, hand sanitizer, and elbow shakes instead of hand shakes are just temporary, but the reality is some of these things might stick and become a part of our world. It is a crazy thought that you might always have to carry a mask with you to the water park, school, etc. However, it could happen. Ultimately, this pandemic will change the world. *Original text of "Creator:" Nicole Dumitrascu #LSMS #NSD -

Life during Covid-19
April 20th, 2020 Covid-19 is spreading like wildfire. Cases are going up like no other and many hospitals are running out of room for patients. Whenever I look outside, I barely see any cars compared to how it used to be. Roads aren’t as busy and many people are staying indoors. I was riding bikes the other day and we passed by a park with caution tape surrounding the whole thing. Due to gyms being closed people are starting to go on runs and trying to keep themselves fit during this tough time. People are definitely not trying to come in contact with other people and if two people are about to cross each other on the same path one goes to the road. A lot of people have been going to hardware stores to get stuff to build so they would have something to do during the day. Many people are starting to make there own gardens so that they could see the flowers growing everyday to give them something to look forward to. Online schooling hasn’t been the best, but you have to do it. I really miss all my friends and I know that I won’t see them till next school year or maybe later. When I first heard about Covid-19 I didn’t think much of it and then it hit Idaho and know 3/4ths of the news is talking about the Coronavirus. I like to watch the videos that have been posted on social media about Covid-19 because they make me feel like we are all going to get through this but we should laugh about it instead of being scared because then you can have hope, and personally I think that is one thing we definitely need. -

03/02/2020Fremonts First case of Covid-19
This was a series of pictures that My football team posted at the Special Olympics basketball tournament that my football team volunteered at. No less than a week after this event, an article came out in the Fremont tribune saying that there was a player at the event who had just tested positive for Covid-19. Following this news me and the rest of my teammates had to self quarantine for a week. This was tough for us players and our coaches because many of my teammates lived on campus and did not have access to a kitchen to cook food. But thankfully our coaches were able to bring everyone quarantined food one a day during our week long Quarantine. -

04/28/2020Newport 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. -

Life at Home
Ever since the coronavirus epidemic, my life hasn’t quite been the same. Before governors issued the stay-at-home orders, I was working and had recently started attending college. Everything was good for me and my days were spent living a normal teenage life. Now, everything is closed and I can’t go anywhere. Despite this, I have been surprisingly enjoying my time at home. As a kid I would hate staying home and always wanted to go somewhere to do something. To combat boredom I bought myself a ps4 so that I can play video games with my friends. A lot of my time has been going to my ps4 so it was one of my better investments. Besides playing video games, I have been playing guitar and exercising. These are the fun things I do but there are also the things that I have to do such as cleaning the house and schoolwork. Everyday I balance my time by cleaning the house and doing my homework in the morning. After I finish all my tasks, I then allow myself to do whatever I feel like. I usually finish every night with some exercise and a shower before going to sleep. Staying home all the time has led me to do things I didn’t do before. One thing I have done since the stay-at-home orders is starting a routine for my everyday life. It feels good having a routine as I already know what I have to do and when I must have it done. Of course, there have been some days where I’m lazy and don’t get anything done but I’ve been trying to have less of those. Getting to see my family all the time has been one of the pluses of staying home. I’ve been getting closer to my brothers and sister as well as my father. Whenever I’m bored or can’t find something to do, I’ll hang out or do something with my family. When I feel like going outside I’ll go for a walk around the neighborhood or I’ll go on a hike at the mountains near my house. Sometimes, there's seemingly nothing to satisfy my boredom so I’ll just sleep all day only to wake up at 3 a.m, wishing I didn’t mess up my sleeping schedule. Lucky for me, I have some night owl friends so they’re always down to game or chat at an ungodly hour. It feels like forever since I’ve seen my friends. Talking with them while playing games makes me want to see them even more but it’ll be a while until then. Thankfully, none of my friends or family have gotten the coronavirus. My family and I have been taking precautions to minimize the risk of us getting sick. My dad leaves the house only to work and go shopping but the rest of my family has been isolating. I have several friends who still go out and live life like normal but I know that isolating will stop me from getting my family sick. I wish I could accept all the invitations I’ve gotten to hang out but this is what’s best. Staying at home has its advantages and disadvantages but atleast I have a good home with a loving family and plenty of things I can do to occupy myself. I wonder if when I’m older I’ll even remember the stay-at-home order and the coronavirus. Will this all be something that is mentioned or referenced in future media? Whatever the case, I’m just waiting until the day I can go out and hang out with my friends again. -

2020-05-08Boredom during quarantine
This tweet shows the extreme boredom of everyone in quarantine during the pandemic. Most of us who are stuck in our house with nothing to do, we find something that can entertain us no matter how odd it may seem.
