Working during the Covid-19 Pandemic
I took a summer job in this pandemic working at a summer camp with young children. At first, I was skeptical because of the times we’re living in, and because kids just have poor habits that can cause the COVID-19 virus or any bacteria to spread. But then I just did it because it beats staying at home all day. There were many safety precautions and guidelines that took place to keep everyone safe and healthy. Any sick kids or staff were sent home and couldn’t come back until they were better. In addition, we had to check our temperatures every day, the staff had to fill out daily health surveys before arrival, we always had to have our masks on, disinfect each classroom after we use it, and wash our hands frequently. We went by a schedule, so there wouldn't be any confusion or unnecessary crowds. In terms of safety, the summer camp did a good job keeping everyone protected from the COVID-19 virus or any other sickness. Overall, the experience was different than the regular summer camp because we couldn’t do as much. But we made the best of it for both the staff and children. -

Letter addressed to Governor Ducey of AZ
In late July following cities across Maricopa County enacting mask ordinances, businesses started posting signage asking customers to wear masks in order to be serviced. At the Starbucks in Scottsdale at Hayden and Osborn, my coworker received this document from a customer who was asked to put on a mask in our lobby in order to have her order taken. The document expresses a belief that covid is a fictitious disease.
