Our Life
My husband and I are in our 80’s and sequestered at home. We are very fortunate that we can enjoy every day as we have in the past. Spring has arrived and we see the flowers and flowering trees, birds and their songs, and the animals. Our children and grandchildren are safe. What a beautiful world we have. But then there is the ugly Corona virus world. I get angry because the people in charge did nothing to prepare us when it was detected in January. The health care workers and others helping people like me are on the front lines without protective gear or testing. I saw a doctor on TV who talked about a family who said goodbye to their loved one over FaceTime because of necessary isolation. Your heart goes out to the rest of the world as we are all in it together. Whatever happens in all the world, flowers will bloom and birds will sing, and the sun will still come up in the morning. -

One of Those International Students
As an international student, what we discussed recently is that if going home is a smart move. When the first case was found in U.S., people started to buy tons of foods, water, toilet paper,etc. I went to CVS to purchase mask to protect myself but the assistant told me that was sold out as soon as the news was reported. However, I seldom see people on the street with a mask. I saw many of international students went back home several days ago. But the way back home was not as easy as usual under this situation, they wore professional white clothes which can cover all aspects to not get the virus, and with professional glasses, N95 mask. I think the airport is dangerous so I decided not to go home. -

One of Those International Students
As an international student who decided to stay in the U.S., I would like to say that at the beginning of the first case was found in the U.S., people started to crazily purchase food, vegetables, water, toilot paper,etc. When I found out that I should collect some mask for myself, I went to CVS to buy them, but the assistant told me that it was sold out as the news was reported. I was so confused that why the mask was sold out but there's no one on the street wearing a mask? I discussed about this one time with my professor, she told me that in American culture, people consider wearing a mask as have cancer. But in my culture, wearing mask is a way to not only protect myself but also good for others. As the virus spread, I saw several news about some ASIAN wearing a mask and was bullied. Things should not go like this. That's racist! My family worried about me everyday and what I can do is telling them I'm fine plz don't worry, I am staying at home and super safe. So many international students decided to go home but I don't think this is a smart move. Now, China has changed policies that they reduce the flights from other countries to China, which makes me upset. This is not a responsible decision under this situation. -

As the Covid-19 virus comes closer to reaching its expected peak, more and more of New York State is shutting down. For almost everyone, the economy is the most impactful result of this virus, with many workers now out of work. My entry is going to reflect on how the Covid-19 virus is impacting students in higher education. I am currently a sophomore at Siena College in Albany, New York studying history education, but might be switching to business. During our spring break, we received an email from the interim president that our break would be extended for an additional week as the school continued to monitor the virus. A few days later, we received another email from our interim president stating that our classes would be moved online until after Easter break. SUNY schools had moved online for the remainder of the semester weeks prior and most of the private schools had also made the decision to move online were slowing following. Siena College, on the other hand, decided to wait it out as long as possible, but on Friday, March, 27th, we received the email stating Siena College would now be closed for the remainder of the semester. Typical days for students and professors now seems to be uploading assignments on Canvas, a program that we had used previously, and conducting classes online via Zoom and Google Hangout. While this type of learning is not ideal, it will have to do as we continue to hope that this pandemic comes to an end. -

"Humanity has yet to return to the toilet paper aisle"
Shows the continuing effect of hoarding in the US -

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. -

Covid-19 - A Caribbean Odyssey
30/03/2020 Sasha Gillies-Lekakis COVID-19 – A CARIBBEAN ODYSSEY The news of rapidly deteriorating conditions around the world caused by the Covid-19 pandemic first reached me on the tropical island of Cuba, where I was half-way through a 15-week exchange course. I had been given the opportunity and great privilege to study at two of the most prestigious Latin American research institutions in the world – the University of Havana, and the Casa de Las Americas, both cultural and academic powerhouses in the region. The Cubans approached the news of daily increases in global coronavirus cases with a healthy dose of optimism. My host family constantly assured us that we would be safe in Cuba – not only does warm weather slow the spread of the virus (apparently), but Cuba’s healthcare system is truly world-class, with an emphasis on people, not profit. In one of my very own classes, on Cuban public health, I had learnt of Cuba’s preventative primary healthcare that had created such a healthy, long-lived population in a continent where disease, poor hygiene and inadequately-funded healthcare systems had all taken their toll. So comprehensive was the Cuban response to coronavirus, before it had even reached the island, that I was bombarded with daily updates on Cuban preparative measures and the regional situation. My teachers, host family and friends had all received up-to-date information regarding hygiene practices, mask use and social distancing even before the arrival of three Italian tourists to the rural town of Trinidad in mid-March. I was very impressed, to say the least. Even the Cuban president Miguel Diaz-Canel went on national television to speak with a range of experts and explained in great detail what was being done to halt the spread of the virus. I felt incredibly safe in Havana, particularly considering what I had read of recent events in Australia and Cuba’s northern neighbour, the United States – where cases had skyrocketed and the responses were far from coordinated or effective. And not only was Cuba preparing its own citizens well for the storm to come, but they had selflessly put themselves out to help others, a show of the internationalism that has defined Cuban foreign policy. A cruise ship from the UK, the MS Braemar, with known coronavirus cases aboard, had been desperately searching for a port at which to dock for fuel, food and other necessities. Not a single Caribbean country offered the vessel sanctuary – except Cuba. The vessel was allowed to dock at the port of Mariel, in Havana’s west, a neighbourhood I had visited just days earlier! The vessel was allowed to recover the necessary materials and all passengers were sent back to the UK in a well-coordinated aerial operation. This decision polarised the Cubans – while many lauded the government’s response, others saw it as endangering the island. I tend to stand with the former. It was inspirational, particularly being so close to the event itself. The total coronavirus case count in Cuba had barely reached 10 when our program directors announced that our studies in Cuba had been suspended, and that we were to return home within two days following a global escalation in the coronavirus situation. Finding a last-minute flight back from Havana to Melbourne was incredibly stressful, and difficult given the fact that many international flights had already been cancelled. Eventually, I was able to get home – passing through, Havana, Miami, San Francisco, Brisbane and finally Melbourne. It was an odyssey to say the least! I arrived back in Australia on Saturday, March 21, after this gruelling series of flights. I was happy to be among family again, but immensely disappointed that I could not stay in Cuba – in large part because the US and Australia were imposing new border restrictions, and cancelling flights because they could not adequately address the situation. I returned to quiet streets, news of total lockdowns and continued Coalition government inaction in the face of the coronavirus. Meanwhile, just days later Cuba was sending doctors to fight coronavirus in Italy, Argentina and a number of Caribbean islands, so prepared was the nation for what was to come. While I would never consider being without family in these uncertain times, I still know that I would have been safer had I stayed in Cuba, the little socialist island that put the rest of the world to shame in the age of Covid-19.
