Sanford Lake Flooded
The article expresses my sentiment well, a flood in the middle of a pandemic, a flood on the level of the 1986 flood. 10,000 people evacuated. I'm hurting for my hometown, and wondering how people will navigate survival and recovery during COVID. -

Threat Levels in the U.K.
The British mentality of keeping a "stiff upper lip" is legendary. This piece pokes fun at the way the British have handled various monumental events throughout history and how they relate to the current crisis being faced.

Ineffective Face Mask Bingo
Following the popular meme/comic format of bingo cards, this comic illustrates the numerous ineffective/wrong ways people are wearing face masks in public. The original caption on instagram reads "For all my retail worker friends, what we see on a daily basis... I long for the day I dont hit a blackout card before lunch. Wear it right or stay home x.x" It demonstrates the lack of information or care taken by members of the public even when they do wear face covers. It also demonstrates the frustration and fear felt by workers forced to interact with these individuals and feel they are put at risk as a result. *Christine Ridgway, @skidarstudios on instagram *comic/instagram post -
