22
It has been hard not seeing my friends for my 22 birthday. Over the past 4 years they have become more than my friends; they are my family. I came home for spring break March 4th expecting to come back before the 24th, but then it was extended until 22nd. Earlier this week, the president made all flights out of the New York area a mandatory quarantine for 2 weeks after they land. I do not want to put my roommates in a position where they cannot leave the home to get groceries. So I am waiting until everything dies down before I get to see them. -

Uplifting Chalk Messages
This image shows uplifting messages written by children and adults in my hometown. It captures the feeling of my PA suburb currently; because kids are out of schools, most parents are working from home, and all social gatherings are cancelled, many families are spending time together outside. Some written messages we saw include "Keep going everything will come to you at the perfect time!" "Have an online Netflix party!" "Wash your hands!" and "We will get through this together!" -

Can't get a test
My husband wants a COVID-19 test. We live in Maricopa County, AZ. I called Banner Health because while my husband doesn't have extreme flu symptoms, everything we've read indicates that COVID-19 shows milder symptoms in young/healthy people. He works at a bank, and it's hard to do social distancing when you work at a bank. Today, he called me from work and asked for a COVID-19 test because his chest hurts. I called Banner Health, but was told to call back at 7:00 AM tomorrow because there are no more tests available today. What good is social distancing if we can't even track the disease? -

"How Fear Can Spread like a Virus"
This image shows how crazy the hysteria has become, people are hoarding items for this "apocalypse" leaving store shelves empty. When they are fully restocked again, it's only a matter or hours until they completely sell out. However, not many are thinking about those in serious need of those supplies. The elderly have a higher risk of dying and need certain supplies, and families are finding it hard to find meat and other foods to feed their families because of all the hoarding. -

Alone in a Hotbed
As the days pass time becomes abstract. The air has become heavy, its hard to breathe. The nights turn long and sleepless and the stars feel like they're burning out above me. The whole world feels like it's folding in. For some time I have been longing for cooler days but something stops me everytime, Covid-19. Being stuck in my house, which has become my prison, with nothing but my thoughts has driven me to the edge, the edge of sanity. This must end, it must. -

Flinders Street Station, Melbourne deserted at 7.45 AM on a Tuesday morning
Flinders Street Station in Melbourne city is one of the busiest train stations in the metro network. Normally at 7.45 on a week day morning it would be thronged with commuters, all heading off to work. This morning it was almost deserted. From today almost all workplaces, other than those deemed 'essential' are closed and most people who can are working from home. I work at the Old Treasury Building in the city. We are a heritage site and museum, now closed of course. But we are trying to document the urban environment during this extraordinary crisis, while being extremely careful of our own exposure to risk. From time to time we will share some of our photos and experiences. 24 March 2020, 7.45 AM -
