Why contact tracing remains a hurdle for Quebec in containing COVID-19
Tracking the spread of COVID-19 is reported to be difficult in Quebec because the people are not aware of when they come in contact with the virus. Many don't answer their phones when health officials call to inform them. Up to 30 percent of people contacted due to potential exposure to a COVID-19 case do not answer the call. -

The TIK TOK Kindergarten Teacher
Could you imagine teaching a group of kindergarteners online? Well that is exactly what this teacher has done, and with style. In order to keep her young students engaged, she has put her all into the lessons. Her high energy and theatrics are keeping learning fun and organized. It is teachers like her that show people that teachers are putting in their all, even when they can’t physically be with the students. Teachers like this should be praised and celebrated for their hard work and dedication throughout this difficult time. -

Promotion during COVID-19
Usually military promotions require a ceremony. I would have dressed myself and our two daughter up, my husbands whole battalion would have be present as his superiors would have said a few words. I would have taken off his old rank from his uniform and officially pinned his new one on. Everyone would have cheered and we would have gone to dinner to celebrate. My husbands promotion looked completely different than what we’re used to. He found out he would be pinned ten minutes before the zoom call, the kids were still in their pjs and my husband wasn’t even wearing his pants. Instead we got dressed in a hurry, got on a zoom call with five other people and I pinned him while my dad held the phone. It took less than five minutes start to finish then it was back to whatever we had been doing prior to the call. We ordered in dinner that day just to make it as special as we could. HST580 ASU -

Covid doesn’t stop the military
After eight years of active duty service for the US Navy my husband decided to get out and join the reserves. Since March he has been required to check in remotely and do all work online. One of the perks not having to wear his heavy boots. This has slowly started to feel like a new normal for our family. I’m not sure when he will be able to return to base and resume his normal duties there but until then he’s doing the best he can. HST580 Arizona State University -
