  Quarintied and beyond bored

  Tiger King started an uproar of things during the pandemic. The outbreak of this show and the people who believed that Carol Baskin killed her second husband and fed him to tigers reopened the case. This submission is important to me because I really think that Carol killed her husband.

  Portfolio of an intern of the Journal of a plague year archive

  Prior to interning the JOTPY internship I thought we would be doing a lot of submissions for the archive to build it and maybe online work to raise awareness of the archive. I had no real knowledge of public history and was going in not expecting it to be such an important part of the archive. Throughout the internship I developed many skills such as curating, how to write a blog, press release and mission statement, and how to build an individual archive collection. I realized my colloquial writing was weak during the internship since many of the projects involved reaching out directly to the general public and speaking plainly. I was once quite adept at this but being an undergrad and now a graduate student these skills had become quite rusty as I endeavored to perfect my academic writing. I had to learn to work as a team in the internship and also reach out to regular non academics for submissions and these socially based experiences were uncomfortable for me since I am more of an introvert. However, throughout the internship I came to really value the camaraderie and community the interns built together. Before the internship I shied away from group projects as a necessary evil to be avoided at all costs however the internship showed me how much fun working with others could be and to value a great team. The internship also allowed me to network with other people including fellow interns, teachers and archive associates. The internship gave me real world experience of my historical skills introduced me to many new skills set that could pertain to future employment. Overall, it was a great experience that I wouldn’t trade for the world.

  Military coronavirus rates growing at twice the rates as nationwide average

  This is an article explaining how the military is experiencing higher rates of coronavirus than the general public.The article claims it is due to more people getting tested when in reality it is due to precautions not being taken seriously.My husband's whole platoon was exposed to the coronavirus and they just quarantined those who expressed a desire to get a test and wouldn't let them get an actual test because it would "expose the people taking a test" they even tried to force a soldier without coronavirus to room with a soldier who had tested positive for it.

  military deals with coronavirus for recruits

  This is a news article discussing how the military is testing new recruits for coronavirus.While only 2% test positive 60% of those are asymptomatic ringing how the fact that a vast majority of people would have further spread it without this preliminary test.The article also mentions higher than average retention rates which is probably due to the fact that with the economy suffering from the pandemic more people are opting to re-enlist and have the safety net of a secure paycheck and healthcare at this time.

  military response

  This is a story of how one soldier can make a difference in the pandemic.This private was recognized for her good deeds by NASCAR however the question that begs asking is why it was necessary?why during a pandemic is a shortage of masks occurring especially in the military where people are forced to work in close quarters.

  military cases of Covid-19 increase

  This is a news article speculating why the military members are having an increase in positive coronavirus tests.What they leaving out is although masks are required for businesses they are not necessarily being followed by soldiers working and the same for social distancing and hand washing. My husband is in the military and tells me they were the masks when possible but most soldiers find them inconvenient and remove them whenever possible.Also social distancing is not practical for their work as they sometimes have to be in close quarters to complete their work.This in addition field events,airborne jumps, and other major projects that place many soldiers in close proximity together is probably the cause of the increased cases.

  Army makes soldiers quarantine with tape in the field

  A video surfaced about soldiers in the field who were suspected of having the coronavirus and instead of being sent home or two the hospital they made them stay in the field and isolate. I am unsure of the validity of this claim but I do know there was often times where the guidelines are not followed on the company or platoon level.

  School openings and working parents

  This story highlights the struggles of working parents during the Pandemic.Children are suffering and parents have to choose between their jobs and their children's education. Many do not have a choice due to their finances or the measures taken by their state regarding their children.By opening back up the economy the working class and poor are suffering.The federal government is less than useless in regards to helping the majority of the population and passing the buck to the state and local governments who choose the safety measures for their local population.It's a disgrace the way things are being handled.

  Travel band lifted for U.S. Military

  This is an article about how the military has lifted the travel band it had in place due to the coronavirus.My family is personally affected by this since we are slotted to P.C.S. this fall.Not all states are cleared by the military and I fear with the country opening back up there will be many more cases and possibly more delays in PCS orders because of it.

  This is a picture of my daughter doing her speech therapy during Covid-19.Normally it is done in person but due to the stay at home order zoom meetings were instead utilized.These meetings although better than nothing were not as effective since my child is so young and cannot sit still for a 30 minute meeting.It's important to show how the coronavirus has impacted children with learning disabilities or delays.

  People think the United States has given up on fighting Covid-19

  This is a news article about how europeans have reacted to the United States opening back up amidst rising coronavirus numbers.Many Americans are still concerned with the virus but are being forced to return to work or be fired.Others take this as a sign that the coronavirus is either not as dangerous or not as much of a problem. Everywhere in the United States there is a spike in cases and it seems that the more than 100,000 lost lives doesn't matter more than money.

  Trump slowed Covid-19 testing

  This is a news article discussing the U.S. president purposely slowing the Covid testing.The president thinks if we test less we will have less positive coronavirus cases.The idiocy of Trump trying to slow tests is why the United States has the largest amount of coronavirus cases.It makes me angry that he could not use funds allocated for testing and he should be held accountable for it.it is honestly disgusting and people are paying for his foolishness and pride with their lives.

  Soldiers doing land navigation during quarantine

  This is a video of a training event my husband participated in.As you can see the soldiers are taking zero precautions to prevent the coronavirus.After this event 2 people in my husband's squad tested positive for the virus.While they are quarantined the rest of their company who all trained with them and interact in an intimate environment on a daily basis are still being sent to the field together without any testing.In addition to this one of the soldier's who tested positive had a roommate that they were going to force to quarantine with him even though the roommate did not have any systems and was told he could not get tested for coronavirus because he was already supposed to be quarantined.It was only due to my husband interfering and arguing with the chain of command that the decision was made that the two roommates would be quarantined separately.Had he not interfered they would have forced the roommates to quarantine together and essentially force the roommate to contract the virus.It is important to show the negligence of Fort Bragg in regards to protecting their soldiers from the Coronavirus.

  How the military handled Covid-19

  This is a humorous tiktok showing the progression of the pandemic and how the military handled it.Initially it was put out to just be precautious and it very rapidly changed as the extent of the pandemic was grasped.For many military members it felt like they were constantly changing the level of precautions.It was initially viewed as similar to the flu by many and not taken seriously but as the pandemic progressed that changed.Although humorous this is an accurate representation of how many military members reacted during this time.

  Fort Bragg Shut down

  This is from when Fort Bragg first put out that they were switching to mission essential personnel for a few days.Little did we know that this would continue for the next few months.They would say in two week we will re-evaluate and then the time would pass and it would get moved back.My family was supposed to P.C.S. at this time and we were getting ready to sell our home and move where ever the army told us to go.However due to the Pandemic my husband's orders were cancelled.We did not know if they would be changed to a later date or if cancelled completely.This happened to many military families who were stuck in limbo for months as we saw daily updates further restricting our movements for an indefinite amount of time.Luckily we still had a steady paycheck from the military so did not suffer financially like many others did.
