In push to get more vaccines into arms, officials recommend states give to anyone 65 and up
States should expand access to Covid-19 vaccines to everyone 65 and older, as well as any adult with an underlying health condition that might raise the risk for complications of Covid-19, members of Operation Warp Speed recommended Tuesday. The guidelines are intended to prompt faster distribution of the vaccines by making more people immediately eligible for vaccination, as well as expanding the potential locations where people can receive it. Of the more than 25 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine that have been delivered nationwide, just under 9 million shots had been put into Americans' arms as of Tuesday, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. -

Activists Give St. Paul Mayor List of Demands
On Sunday, activists and community members hand-delivered a letter to St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter's home signed by over 500 constituents and 25 local organizations demanding the city stop evicting people from encampments during inclement weather and the COVID-19 pandemic. The letter is asking city officials to meet these requests: ➡️ Convene an emergency St. Paul City Council meeting to address these issues ➡️ Place a moratorium on enforcement of any illegal camping ordinance, to last the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic ➡️ Halt the clearing and disposal of tents and other sheltering materials to ensure that unhoused people do not lose what may be their only present means to self-quarantine and practice social distancing ➡️ Adhere to the existing statewide eviction moratorium ➡️ Follow best practices outlined by the National Homelessness Law Center -

COVID-19 Advice on the Administration of Holy Communion
From the start of the pandemic, Christian churches have been debating about how to best handle the practice of the Eucharist (Communion). The Church of England, which spans all of the world, issued guidance on how to best celebrate/participate in the Eucharist. At the moment, the use of the common cup has been suspended. Parishioners during the pandemic are advised to only partake of the bread to avoid potential spread of the virus. These are general guidelines rather than strict rules, however, all Anglican churches are encouraged to follow. -

With the re-release of Plastic Love onto Spotify, I have been listening to it on repeat for hours on end to help through the melancholic times of the monotony known as these wretched times. This art resonated with me, so thus I submit it along with other art that I feel encapsulates the soul of creative thinkers during this time. -

Covid Origin.
So basically, I was in school on Friday March 13th 2020. I remember very vaguely but in my last class I think it was, there was a huge announcement on the tvs. it said "Covid 19 outbreak" and I just remember what I was thinking what this was. I honestly had no clue what it was and where it came from. The joy of every kids having no school on March 13th. Little did we know, it was the start of the end of the world. -

Christmas Break.
To be honest, this Christmas break i didn't do much. I normally hang out with friends and go on bike rides and just have fun. This time though, i didn't do that. I really just played video games with friends and spent time with family. Although I went to get my haircut and I did see David Price. (A former Dodgers Pitcher). So ya, thats my break, not too interesting. -

How Coronavirus started
I'm not exactly sure how the coronavirus started, however I believe it has been spread by an animal such as mosquitoes and yellow fever. I'm certainly not the most qualified person to ask but I do believe that it is a worthy theory because many other diseases and viruses are spread through animals. -

COVID 19 Christmas
My Christmas looked very different this year. I still got to see some of my family but most of them did not feel comfortable traveling. We had a zoom call for some of our family on the east coast and in England and they got to watch us open presents on Christmas morning. -

Sounds of nature over while civilization takes a break
In Hawaii, especially on the island of Kauai there were so many tourist that near the roads and tourist shops and restaurants you most heard traffic or people, and in the evenings live entertainment for tourists. Now, in the mornings you can hear birds and at night the crickets. -

Voices No Longer Heard
In my line of work, which is construction management and execution, communication is key. Often, this begins and ends with emails, phone calls, and the occasional zoom chat to set a project up. However, once work commences, field superintendents meet daily with clients to discuss progress, delays, opportunities for improvement, and at times, complaining. Morning meetings are at the heart of the daily communications, and have always taken place at 7:30 am, with fifteen to twenty people present. From January 2020 thru the middle of March 2020, morning meeting went as they had in the past. At times, with so many in the room, expressing their ideas, it can be difficult to keep track of what is being talked about. In my role, I attend one or more of these meetings, at different jobsites, throughout the week. As Covid safety precautions took hold towards the end of March, I noticed that the meetings I attended were quieter. This was partially due to masks being worn. Whenever someone chose to speak, their voice, which had been loud a week or so prior, was now muffled and subdued. Additionally, people spoke no more than was necessary, the meetings were shorter than they had been. Gradually, power points were introduced on a screen each day so that talking was not necessary. Instead, the bosses laid out the schedule, expectations, and those in the room simply took notes. By the end of April, the morning meeting changed over to Zoom Chat, with everyone in their office, staring at a screen which displayed those same power points, saying very little or nothing at all. By this point, with social distancing in full-force, there was no need to speak. Notes were made by a Project Engineer containing key points and emailed to attendees after the conclusion of the daily Zoom. Suddenly, there was no face to face conversation, fewer phone calls, and increased emails. With masks across our faces, everyone continued their work in an eerie silence. The robust workplace, full of ideas and plans which must be heard, faded into blank stares saying nothing. With the New Year, I did not expect any change. It would be difficult to say when practices that existed only a year ago might return. This morning, I logged into Zoom for a pre-construction meeting, I was met with the same silence I heard just before the Thanksgiving holiday. -

COVID-19 one year ago and now
When Covid was new, no one really knew much about it. When it came out they were a lot of rumors talking about how dangerous the virus was. Also talking about how the virus was created. The biggest rumor was that a man in china decided that he would eat a bat and because of that he got covid from eating the bat, then he spread it to a lot of people, this is how it was said covid was spread all around the world. When is started I didn't really think about it that much, I felt like people were over exaggerating it (and I still do). I honestly wasn't sure if the virus was even real and it may have been a hoax. Now that we have had covid for about a year these are my thoughts about it. I am honestly not sure how the virus was created, people say it was still from china, other people say it was created in a lab by the government so it's hard to say what is truth and what is false. I understand that for people that have underlying conditions this virus can be deadly but I honestly think and flu or cold can be deadly in various levels. I do think it is good to wear a mask and to say social distance for peoples protections but I do feel like shutting down economy was something that wasn't needed as it has closed down many restaurants and stores, etc. Those are my thoughts about covid one year ago and my thoughts about covid now. -

Knowledge of Covid-19
From the beginning of this pandemic it has been said that bats were the cause of this virus. This is similar to other coronavirus sicknesses. With more and more research of Covid-19 I have learned more about the novel coronavirus. I learned more about the efficacy of different masks and how they protect against the airborne travel of the virus. My understanding of how the disease spreads grew during the course of the pandemic. The information about the cause remained the same. -

Christmas in Cochrane, 2020
This file contains both a photo and a text story to accompany it, it's mainly just my thoughts surrounding the holidays in the pandemic, firstly with what I did, what my previous Christmases were like, and my family's reasoning with staying home and abiding with quarantine restrictions in opposition to the many other examples of people breaking these restrictions for the sake of family. I think it's important mainly, because the pandmic has redefined, or put a new emphasis on familial love - do we love our family by choosing to stay home during a deadly pandemic? Or do we love them by breaking restrictions to visit them during said pandemic. Submitted for HST 580's first assignment at Arizona State University, Pandemic Prompt: Holiday's. -

The beginning
When i first heard of covid, i didn't think much of it. I heard it was something in china and i didn't expect it to spread anywhere. Then i heard that it came to America and our school started discussing going online if it got bad. My school finally decided to go online and we started school from home and i have been doing it for almost a year now. -

Reason for the cause of Covid 19
I think the cause for covid is the meat markets in China which were very dirty and many species were brought there including sick animals. There was also not very many precautions to prevent diseases or viruses from spreading from animals to humans. This caused the outbreak that spread around the world. -

COVID Origin
Covid had just started, and I was hearing news of a virus outbreak and places shutting down. In 2019 in Wuhan China there were rumors about someone eating a bat going around. The theory was that a man had eaten a bat and got sick and then spread it to other people. Another theory was about a laboratory in China. Many people including myself thought that inside a laboratory nearby there was some kind of explosion and the chemicals had made people sick. My beliefs haven't changed since then because I haven't heard a lot of new theories about how it had started. Overall, both of these theories do not seem too realistic and I was shocked when I found out about the possible reasons. -

Covid Origin
I have heard a lot of deferent ways that are very interesting. One theory is that people were eating animals such as bats that were carrying the virus. I thought it was a joke when I first heard it cause it seams silly, but it is true from what I heard. When I heard it I was confused on why people were eating bats. -

COVID orgin
When I first heard of COVID I was told that it was because someone in China ate a bat and got a virus from it that quickly spread from human to human. I also heard later that it had something to do with a chemical explosion. I believe it was more likely to be because of some sort of chemical reaction. I found out about COVID from my sisters in early January and thought that nothing was going to happen until we started going into quarantine and people started to refusing to wear masks and social distance it made me realize that it was more serious that I thought. -

The beginning of Covid-19
When the virus first started, rumors and theories raced around the globe about this new illness affecting certain areas of China. New ideas stormed everywhere regarding the cause of the virus. Many believed that it started in a market serving animals like bats. Others believe it escaped from a laboratory. Overtime not much has changed since the beginning of the virus and I am still unsure on what I think the true cause of the virus is, I think it is entirely possible that it could have come from a laboratory studying something close. -

First Assumptions
So, the first thing I heard to be the cause of the virus was because of someone eating a bat. A BAT!!! I thought that the person that did it went cookoo for coco pops or something because of all things they could've eating it was a bat! I guess he wanted to be like Ozzy Osborne or something. "Surprisingly", it was just a false rumor but at the time it was all over TikTok (probably the most popular social media out there now) and people where making memes and jokes about it too that were hilarious! A lot of people believed it but i'm not so sure what made them think that. All in all, it was just a very odd assumption that really got people talking. -

The Cause of Covid
In my own opinion, I believe that due to the lack of money and help from the government the Chinese had to resort to extreme means to feed themselves and their families. This is in no way their fault and probably is our fault as America and richer countries to not help and aid them. So from the lack of money in the slums of China, I think they had to eat not clean and weird things to stay alive which transmitted the virus from an animal to a human. -

The Cause of Covid
I believe that Covid was started in all of the dirty towns of China. I think that because of the unsanitary conditions. Bacteria could have easily collected there, creating this contagious virus. Because it is a frequent place of visitation, it easily spread to mass quantities of people, who did not quarantine themselves. It then spread to America from trade. Because there is much a large trade between the US and China, it was perfect for the virus to spread. -
2021-01-12
Beginning of the Virus
When I first learned there was a virus going around I heard that someone in either the government or a high place started it for population control. At the time(and maybe still right now) there was higher population of seniors than children. Covid was originally affecting seniors so I believe this argument. -

Where I believe Covid-19 Came From.
Many different people have talked about what they think caused the pandemic Covid-19. Personally, trying to take into account both sides, I would think the virus was manufactured in a lab in Wuhan China. I believe that this virus was a result of an attempt at biological warfare. Though this is a common belief, there is no real way to prove any guess or theory. -
2021-01-12
What I Think Caused Covid
I believe that Covid was caused by some sort of bacteria in one the animals in the meat markets in Wuhan, China. I believe this because the CDC has released a statement saying that this is true. I trust them because they have the biggest and most trusted disease control center in the world. Also, it makes sense logically because these markets were not very sanitary and many diseases can come from animals, especially dead animals. Out of all of the theories I’ve heard, this one not only makes the most sense but also has the most evidence out of all the other theories. Many people believe the animal was a bat, but that has not been confirmed. -

The Origin
When the stories of this mysterious virus that was killing tons of people in China started popping up on the news, people thought that it had started from bats in a market. Now we know that this was a lie and that it really started in lab. I was kind of astonished that this huge disease started from a few small mammals that were carrying a virus. I was originally kind of confused that somehow a few people eating bats had started a world-wide pandemic. -

Covid's Uprising
When Covid was first announced I figured it was just a regular sickness. Until the market crashed, now I knew if was purposeful. The virus could have been made in China or it was just made naturally. I researched and saw that China's market was slowly crashing, maybe they found a way to take everyone with them. Most cases like these are just powerful people wanting to keep their power or seeking more power. My views on Covid-19 have changed since, that only affects people with pre-existing disabilities or diseases. Also it affects older people a lot more than younger. Maybe this whole thing is just a huge hoax to make the market start to go up. Since most of the deaths are just due to their pre-existing conditions. In my opinion Covid doesn't exist or was a virus spread to crash and rebuild the market. -
2021-01-12
What I think caused covid
The China virus in my onion started in China. I haven't done much research or herd many conclusions about what started covid though. I believe it escaped from a lab while doing research and experimenting. That is my thoughts and option on the virus and I also think there could have been someone created covid already knowing how to vaccinate himself and cure the virus. -

Carona Virus Orgin
When I first learned about the virus I was hearing rumors about sickness like a cold being spread around China that people were dying from. The first thing I saw about how they had it was someone in a live animal market eating an animal that I was very surprised he got hold of. I feel like I know about the virus but I don't know any other stories about what would be a different story of how it started. I still belive thats how it started. -
2021-01-12
What started COVID
COVID 19, the pandemic that has completely changed the way I live. There are many theories of how COVID started but only one can be true. I believe that COVID was made in a Chinese lab. Whether it was intentional or not I'm not sure. But I do believe that's how it was created. -
2021-01-12
The bats are to blame
I believe that the are to blame for covid 19. In a lab far far away on a different continent there was a bat. This was no ordinary bat it was an infected bat. This infected bat infected people and it spread fast. That is what I believe Covid to have started. -
2021-01-12
Covid-19 Origin
I think the source of the virus came from bats and it originated from China. I think people ate bats infected with this disease and transferred it to others and then it spread quickly. -

How covid started...
I think covid is just another mutation of the Flu, but people have made such a big deal about this virus that they have now made it political and an excuse for everything. I think Patient 0 just got a mutated Flu that they named Covid-19. -
2021-01-12
Covid Journal
What I think the cause of the virus is well a disease that started in Wohan China. I think it is this because that is where people gather and talk and are close together and do not have a proper cleaning system. Or in other words it's filthy. right now in the world Wohan China is clean and people have opened up business and things are returning to normal. -
2021-01-12
Corona Virus Theory
There is many theories about the Corona Virus and there is many different feelings on the subject. I personally believe it is just being used to control us. I believe this because this virus has over a 99% survival rate and all of the people that are dying from it have already compromised immune systems, meaning they were already ill. It seems as though they want everyone to rely on the government for money because they can not work and that means the government has control over them. Another reason I think the virus is not serious is because of the fact it is flu season and nobody has gotten the flu. I think they are just taking illnesses like the flu and saying its corona because they are trying to scare people with exaggerated numbers. I have also not taken any precautions during this virus and have not gotten sick once. I have also noticed that if this virus was as dangerous as the media says they would definitely not let us out of our house, but instead we are allowed to go on tight planes, busses, and more things because apparently hand sanitizer and a mask can save us from a "deadly" virus. I don't think it is as bad as they make it seem and they are just using it as an excuse to control people and people are letting them. -
2021-01-12
Cause of Covid
I think that Covid-19 started in a lab in China. I think that they were trying to make a warefare weapon and during the process, it got on someones clothes or something and was accidentally leaked. Since the virsus is very contagious it didn't take long for lots of people all aroundd the world to get it. However, I don't think that covid is a big deal for most people. Mainly, why it is such a big deal is becuase the people in charge just want power over people and want to control their lives. -

COVID-19 Initial Thoughts
In March of 2020 I got my first real glimpse of what practically the entire next year of life was going to be like. China released a virus that would eventually spread across countries. From that first report everything went south. People began to freak out like it was the Black Plague. This fear spread nationwide in the United States influencing unknowing people that this was a virus to be feared. A virus with over 99% survival rate caused a panic that hasn't been seen in centuries. People almost might as well have freaked out about the common cold at the rate it was/is at. All over the media were false news, lies, and deception influencing such thoughts, giving people different beliefs and thoughts on practically everything regarding it. This year was indeed crazy, but not because of a virus and sicknesses. Because of freaked out crazy people thinking this is the end of the world and influencing others that it is as well. -
2021-01-12
What do I think the cause of the virus Covid-19 is?
There are many different theories and possibilities as to what created this pandemic of Covid-19, and no body has truly figured out how to stop it or what the real cause is. I believe that Coronavirus has something to do with population control. I think that the government created this virus to subtly eliminate some of the population so that there wasn't an overload of humans, but they never had the idea that it was going to be this bad. It became uncontrollable, and has spread all over the world. Everything is shutting down and things are failing, the world is basically falling apart. -
2021-01-12
What I think about who or what is the cause of this virus.
I believe that this started through the dirty meat markets in China. Somebody bought bat soup from the meat market that had all kinds of bacteria and viruses in it. This could have happened because of how crowded, contaminated and unsanitary they are at the meat markets. I am not completely sure if this is the reason but this is what I heard from the news. -
2021-01-12
The Cause of Covid
The cause of Covid is currently unknown. The amount of theories is extremely large. Since it started in China, it has to be some issue there. One theory is that it was a biological weapon but I don't think that makes sense. Nothing that is this contagious, to the extent of being a world wide pandemic, would be created. It also would not be released upon the people of their own country. Another theory would be that it is from dirty markets. I personally believe that this is the most likely option. There are filthy markets in China, as well as a massive population so a pandemic starting there makes a lot of sense. It could have originated off of a dead corpse of something like a pig. That makes a lot more sense and many agree with me and this idea. -
2021-01-12
The Cause of the Virus
There are many rumors of how the first person got sick with Covid 19. In my personal opinion I think that this all started at the meat markets in Wuhan, China. People were eating different thing there that could have had bad bacterial. Meats like bat, cow, pig, etc that might have not been sanitized correctly. This could have also been a cause of uncleanliness in the world that made it spread even faster. -
2021-01-12
Cause of Corona
The first thing that I heard this virus to be caused by is from a lab in China. Some other assumptions I heard about were, bats, the black market, not going to church, etc. I actually thought that this would be a month at most and everyone was over-reacting but that was definitely not the case. I think that the virus started at its origin in China, but was spread person by person, country by country until it has become a world wide pandemic. This virus didn't scare me like it should have when it first came around but corona still doesn't scare me. I am not afraid or paranoid, more like cautious. I do be that it came from a lab in China and spread person to person, country to country to become world wide. -
2021-01-12
Origin of Covid
As you've probably heard, Covid is sweeping through the whole world. As of right now, no one really knows how it started. I've heard that it's started from a bat, someone ate a bat in China and that's how it started. That's the first reason I heard, the second was that labratories might have created a virus, this virus. At the time, I only heard about the bat, so that's what I believed. I think that my opinions have changed, but I don't nessciarly agree with both, it could've been other things. Many people have been trying to figure out the exact answer. At this point, I do believe that someone does know, but most of the population doesn't. In the future, I predict that, hopefully, we will find out. -
2021-01-12
who started covid
I believe that the man who ate the bat started COVID. For example it is proven that the body of a bat contains COVID in it. I also believe that the spread of COVID started from those 30 meat markets which lead to a rapid spread of COVID. -
2021-01-12
What I think started Covid-19
I dont really know the exact reasoning because I myself dont really watch the news and even if i did there is to much fake news that i see on tiktok and what other people tell me. I have heard rumors that vary from someone at a bat that they put the virus into and i have also heard rumors like it was made by people kinda like a sabotage so i cant really know what the real one is. If you look it up its says that the bat one is rights but no one will really know whats real and whats fake. -
2021-01-12
Cause of Covid-19
I think that this virus was transmitted from some animal (likely from a bat). It may have come from China and now is causing major xenophobia against Asians which is totally wrong. There are definitely a lot of just plain stupid ideas that some weird people have come up with. But I trust scientists more than some middle-aged conspiracists. It does happen where an animal sickness can transfer to human, even though it's rare. I think when it got transferred, the strain adapted to humans and is now causing all of this. Once in a while, a sickness like this shows up. This may not have been one of the worst, but, that doesn't make the deaths any less valid.
