Hoarding
Before everything happened in the United States, as an international student from China, I have been searching for helpful tips for my family suffering this disaster back in China. And at that time, I would not imagine this virus spreading across the Atlantic and starting affecting everyone around the globe. One early morning, my father called me through WeChat and urged me to purchase masks, gloves, and all possible hygiene products and buy as much storable foods as possible, because, he said "the virus is spreading across the United States, and you have to be prepared". I was not taken his words seriously at first, but as he sent over more and more messages, I started buying stuff little by little from the local grocery stores, and as I realize my absurd hoarding, the COVID-19 erupted. As my friends were laughing at my over-nervousness and me feeling confused and embarrassed for the seemingly unnecessary over-reacting, more and more people were tested positive, and the price for all necessary goods skyrockets. As people in the United States started buying stuff and lining up in front of the local markets, more heartbreaking stories were reported such as "woman in domestic violence were threatened to be thrown out once they cough", and "homeless man could not purchase any food". The violence under the violence is what scared me and made me panic. I have given away much foods and products I have hoarded to take care of others, and hopefully we all can live through this crisis peacefully and stay healthy. -

The Privilege of Food and Resource Availability
In this pandemic many families have to stock up on groceries, cleaning supplies, etc. to feed and keep their family safe and nurtured throughout the quarantine. But not a lot of people are able to afford their kids coming home from college, stocking up for a week in advance, or replacing the school provided breakfasts and lunches. My mom and dad aren't rich, but they work very hard to provide for me, their parents, my four other siblings, and others in need. This picture shows much of America's privilege and makes you think of Americans inability to provide for their family, especially when people may be getting laid off right now. I hope everyone is able to get all the things they need to survive during this pandemic. -
