Peach Aviation rescinding plans to restart flights to vulnerable islands.
In anticipation of Golden Week - a roughly one-week-long holiday which typically sees a lot of Japanese domestic vacation travel - low-cost-carrier Peach Aviation made plans to restart flights to Amami and Ishigaki Islands.

After some considerable efforts, the airline finally decided to cancel their reopening plans. -

Journal Assignment - Lone Star Middle School
Journal Assignment You are now a historian. Starting on Monday, April 13, you will be keeping a written journal. Once a week (or more if you would like), you will detail what you are seeing in the news. How the world, how the United States, how your friends, neighbors, and family are responding to this pandemic. You are creating a primary source that can be used by people in the future to learn about our lives during this crisis from your unique perspective. You can also use one of your other talents as you see fit. Drawing, poetry, etc. Be authentic, be honest, be reflective. Guiding Questions: You can write anything you like about your experience. The following is a list of potential things you can respond to. 1. What did the government announce/declare/implement today? I. Does it make sense? II. Does it impact your life? Why or why not? III. How did your family respond? 2. What is open in your neighborhood? What is closed? How does this affect you? 3. What does your neighborhood look like? Are people walking around? 4. How is today different from yesterday for you, your family, our nation, the world? 5. Did you see anything today that gave you hope? Anxiety? Fear? I. In person, in the news, or on social media? 6. What does your family need today that you might not have, have enough of, or have no access to acquire? 7. What has been your experience with distance learning? Do you think this experience will impact you when you’re back in an actual classroom? -

Downtown Boston Deserted
The beginning of Spring would normally have the North End and downtown Boston streets bustling with locals and visitors taking in the season after a long Winter. As the business shutdowns and stay-at-home advisories associated with the COVID-19 outbreak have gone into effect, the streets are very quiet with very few moving vehicles, and only a smattering of social distancing locals walking around. All the tourist and community sites are nearly abandoned as shown in this daytime photo. -

Quarantine Struggles
Today I did my usual routine: I stretched, ate breakfast, did my school for the day, worked out, read my book, played with my sister, relaxed, and ate dinner. For my relaxation today I just watched YouTube and my favorite show to watch with my mom, Flea Market Flip. There are also a lot of free movies and shows because of quarantine. I have been trying to make my routine the same things, but different things each time. For example, I will still run every day, but changed my speeds and rest. I am also trying to find time to do those things that I have always wanted to do. For example, I am overseeing planning my little sister’s 5th birthday party. I will be able to get out of the house and go to a store, this time Walmart, for the first time in over a month. I am super excited to plan games and crafts for the whole family to do because my sister cannot invite her friends from preschool. *Original text in "Creator:" Nicole Dumitrascu #LSMS #NSD -

Music Club Quarantine Edition: Whatever Gets You Through the Night
We’ve started a music club in almost every location we have lived (from New Mexico to New York). Our current music club is in Hamilton, New York. Whoever hosts a music club picks the theme and all attendees bring two songs to share related to that theme. The theme often aligns with a feeling (music that haunts) or a season (autumn sweater). However, sometimes it's tied to a place or format like last year's ode to the music video hosted at the Hamilton Theater One of the few silver linings of this pandemic has been reconnecting with friends near and far. We thought this would be the perfect opportunity to bring together all of our friends for a globe-spanning, quarantine-themed virtual edition. The theme for this music club was “whatever gets you through the night.” We wanted to know what songs were getting folks through the night right now, what songs they might always associate with this time. “Whatever” was intentionally vague and open to interpretation. Songs of unbridled joy? A burst of sonically cathartic rage? An extended meditation on melancholy? Whatever. -

Notes From an Essential Worker
The COVID-19 virus disrupts life, particularly our relationships with those we love. But, relationships are flexible and adapt to circumstance. My brother's economics professor has not posted his final grade, yet. Remote learning creates many opportunities for students to violate the academic integrity policies of their schools, and my brother's class was no exception. Due to several perceived violations on the final exam, his professor delayed the posting of all final grades. In other words, although he did not cheat, he had to sweat it out with everyone else. My mother knew he was worried and wanted to leave him with some encouragement in the morning, so she left this note on his laptop before she left for work. We don't see her in the morning anymore, but my mom is always there for us. #FordhamUniversity #VART3030 -

Indigenous Peoples of Africa Co-ordinating Committee (IPACC) Statement on Indigenous Peoples of Africa and COVID-19
“The COVID-19 pandemic poses a great danger to humanity, including the indigenous peoples of Africa. If the spread of the virus is not urgently arrested and is allowed to infect African indigenous communities, the virus may decimate our member communities.

Social Distancing in Sedgwick County, Kansas
Despite the city's wide-open spaces and sprawling design, signs like this one outside Sedgwick County's west Wichita extension office still laid out the necessary mitigation measures meant to slow COVID-19's transmission. This particular sign sat alongside the biking/jogging path that skirted by the county office, thus reinforcing both the urgent need for social distancing, as well as the ease with which the virus can spread from person-to-person.

The New Normal
Due to the pandemic, the enforcement of using masks has changed my daily life. I had never had to use a masks but now I can’t enter any store without having one. Any store that requires masks won’t let anyone enter it without. This enforcement has gotten in me habit of never leaving my home without facial protection due to my fear of not being able to proceed with my normal everyday life. Though I know it is for the safety of my community it still has taken a huge part of my routine. #CSUS #HIST15H -

Humanizing the heroes
Below is a photograph of Brian Sarkisian. An Auburn Mass. hometown hero, state champion baseball player, and now an essential medical worker at UMass Memorial Hospital in Worcester Massachusetts. Brian is a kind and gentle man whose only goal has ever been to help those in need. He is a nursing student at Worcester State University who previously picked up shifts at UMass Memorial as a student nurse to help people and gain experience for his practice. Now he works tirelessly around the clock handling non COVID-19 patients so that the doctors can focus their efforts. Brian speaks often about the business of the hospital and his constant fear of contracting the virus, but still he says that he would never trade or give up what he’s doing for the world. In a quote he gave me Mr. Sarkisian states “This is what I’ve always wanted to do. I’m in this field and in school for it because I want to make the worst times in people’s lives bearable”. Thank you for everything you do Brian Sarkisian. -

Personal Entry 2
I don’t get to see my grandparents anymore, it’s sad and it hurts because they were hugely important in raising me, but they are safe and that’s what matters. My grandparents are in their 70’s and my grandfather has underlying medical issues so it is vital he not be infected. In order to see them we zoom or Skype, and sometimes they come over and stay in their car with the window rolled down as we talk 10 feet apart. I don’t know when I can hug them or even go within a six foot distance of them again. I don’t know when I can go to the house I was raised in again. That’s okay because we make do with what we have, we’re keeping everyone safe. Last night we Skyped for Easter Dinner, and even though that was a first, we do what we must during these times. Here’s a photo of their visit a few weeks ago. -

The Danger of Being Essential
Everyone in the entire world has been affected in one way or another by the pandemic of COVID-19. The rapid spread and contagiousness of the virus has made the spread of the virus virtually impossible to contain, because of this, the virus has gone worldwide in a matter of months and has caused many casualties. My mother is a nurse working on the frontlines, and every day I am afraid for her. My family faces the constant fear of exposure. To protect the rest of the family, my mother has been quarantining herself on one side of the house and has been very careful about keeping clean and using disinfectants. I know that the work my mom does has taken a toll on her mental health lately. She seems more discouraged and less motivated than usual. Part of this is likely her isolation from her family, however, I think that working on the frontlines right now can be very stressful and I know that is it typical to lose faith in modern medicine at a time like this. My mother has mentioned how sad it is to see people on their deathbed, when there is nothing you can do to save them. She told me one of her patients was an elderly man who had no family except for his wife, and he could not contact her, and she could not visit him during his last hours of life. This made me realize how terrifying it can be to have the coronavirus. While I was discussing the virus with my mother, she told me about the supply shortages that many hospitals are experiencing at the moment. The main issue is with ventilators. Many coronavirus patients need to be put on a ventilator to facilitate their recovery, but without these machines, there are many more casualties. There is also a shortage in Tylenol and medical masks. Tylenol is used as a pyretic to reduce fever in patients and reduce pain from the symptoms. Medical masks are needed most in hospital settings because the healthcare providers need to be protected the most. Everyday Healthcare workers put their lives on the line by going to work and treating coronavirus patients, and every day they are helping to improve the statistics of the coronavirus pandemic. I worry for my mother every time she goes to work and pray that she stays safe and healthy despite the factors not in her favor. -

"6 Feet Apart" Song from Luke Combs
This music video of the song “6 Feet Apart” from Luke Combs serves as a message for gratitude during the pandemic crisis.

In times like this, we are reminded that all the little things are privileges and we should cherish them the most. -

"We Stay at Work For You, Please you Stay at home For us"
At this point in isolation, my Twitter feed is flooded with images such as this. This point evokes a great deal of emotion for I assume all that comes across it. I have the utmost respect for medical professionals. I myself have recently been accepted into the University of San Francisco Nursing Program. Being accepted during a time of great uncertainty has led me to an even greater appreciation for all those that serve on the frontlines, not just medical professionals. We are all affected in some manner during this pandemic; however, it is how we respond that will affect the outcome. Working together, maintaining a positive attitude, following instructions, and faith is what will get us through this disheartening time. Although this image is a piece of art, the message still rains truer than ever. Nurses and doctors are giving of their own time, safety, and placing their lives at greater risk for contracting the CoronaVirus as well as any other ailments, infections, diseases, etc. Men and women are left with bruising, scratches, and other facial discomforts as a result of having to wear PPE for extensive duration periods. Not only the physical discomfort but these individuals have endured emotional and mental difficulties as well. This photo saddens me as well as frustrates me. I continuously pray that people follow as the photo illustrates, “Stay at home for us” for the sake of these selfless people. For those who are not taking this issue seriously, I pray for them as well and that they might be awoken to the true reality of the world as it is right now. #CSUS #HIST15H -
