Water bottle mask sign
My roommate took this photo on her daily walk, something she started doing early on in quarantine to stay active while staying safe. It asks for people to recycle their plastic water bottles so that they can be made into face shields for our health care workers.

Back to Normal? [DUPLICATE OF "No More Different, Please"]
Today felt like a dream come true. I got to go back into an actual lap pool and swim a workout for the first time in two-three months. This doesn’t mean that one kid got to swim. This means that the Rec Center opened which is a big step at least in my life for things going back to normal. This means that I can try to salvage all of the work I have done in this one sport. The coronavirus has definitely changed how I look at everything now. I feel just so thankful and excited to be walking into a pool deck when sometimes I would even be so annoyed to go to swim practice because I knew it would be so hard and tough. I know that from now on I will be so happy even when I go into a test set where you go until you break and can’t make the base. I will be so happy to even be able to go to school and have swim practice right after which is really weird considering that even in kindergarten I would go to school and have swim practice right after. #LSMS #NSD -

Photograph collage shown is from Blanchard, Oklahoma where teddy bear hunts and sidewalk chalk art are popular activities for children to do with their families during COVID-19.

Another similar activity that was easily spotted in the same neighborhoods in Blanchard, Oklahoma were detailed chalk art.

Messages of hope or words of praise to essential workers for their dedications were seen as well.

UVC Sanitizing Station Becomes a Daily Routine for Processing Business Mail During COVID-19
Kelly is processing mail for Blanchard, OK insurance agency. The office utilizes a PurLite UVC Sanitizing devices that uses two strong Ultraviolet bulbs to eliminate bacteria and viruses in 30 second intervals. The device was purchased specifically to improve cleaning efficiency of mail-in forms and payments while decreasing risk of COVID-19 exposure to employees. This process requires multiple areas that must not cross-contaminate. These include a hot area (unprocessed mail), destroy area (mail to be shredded), and a clean station that awaits further processing by other employees. The process of sanitizing mail has become a daily routine as increased mail-in payments and mail-in signature forms have replaced walk-in requests during COVID-19 quarantine.

Fair food drive-thru
My local fairgrounds in La Porte, IN organized a drive-thru of fair food for people to grab and eat. The fair wasn't officially canceled when this was announced but it is now, so this is beneficial to those who would have sold food at the fair for money this summer while also providing a way for the community to come together. #NortheasternJOTPY *Original text in "Contributor:" Anjelica Oswald, Northeastern University -
