It was March 18. All my finals were either canceled or optional. Although there were about only a thousand confirmed cases in the United States, after studying the patterns of confirmed cases in China and European countries like Italy, I decided to return to China, where the virus was under control in many aspects, especially compared to the United States at that time. I booked a ticket in the afternoon and flew at midnight that day -- this was how urgent it was for me, but most people did not realize the United States was actually at a high risk. All people arriving in China from abroad were required to be quarantined for 14 days. People were distributed based on their destinations. Every destination has an assigned shuttle to pick people up and transport them to a designated quarantine hotel. It was very late and I was waiting for the shuttle. I walked around, looking for a restroom and when I walked close to a medical personnel, he immediately woke up. It was very hot but he had no choice but to wear the protective suit. I couldn't believe he needed to wear it all day long. Every time thinking of this, respect comes out of my heart for the great efforts of Chinese people to control the virus.

This post follows the format of joke Facebook events not intended to actually occur and referencing the tendency of people to RSVP to legitimate Facebook events and then decide not to attend before the pandemic. It was created in response to the tweet which features as the background image for the event page. At the time this was shared with the archive, just under 160 thousand people from around the world had responded they were "interested" in this "event."

The photograph shows a woman standing next to empty shelves at a Walmart. This is very true for the COVID-19 pandemic as nearly all of the stores went out of stock for certain things, especially toilet paper. In fact in my personal experience, there was no food available at the Walmart next door.

This is a photo of Fangcang Hospital in Wuhan, China. The hospital was originally a gym square and used to isolate patients during this pandemic. But this empty gym signals that China has beat the COVID-19 and patients in this hospital are all cure.

I collect images, memes, articles and screenshot to show how people live under the COVID-19 pandemic in China. Poeple are forced to wear mask when outside, including children. The pandemics cause many troubles for people, but the most impressive thing is that doctors work on the front line when the first case was reported. Thousands of volunteers went to Wuhan and help people prevent the pandemic.

From middle of Jan to the end of Feb, China took around 1 month long recovering from the attack by cover-19. By doing lockdown policy on Wuhan and executing quarantine policy to other provinces, China rapidly control the growth of confirmed cases. Quaratine policy strongly help restricting the growth of cases in other provinces and the whole country gather all resources around(food and medical resources) to Wuhan to pull Wuhan out of the trap from cover-19.

Wuhan went though a really rough time at the beginning of this year. The sudden burst of the covid-19 almost panetrate the whole local medical system. The country had to concentrate all resources as one and sent to Wuhan. This is the picture of what the hospitals in wuhan look like during that time.

After 14-days of quarantine in the hotel, we must take the COVID 19 test before we left to make sure that we were not virus carriers. I took the test on April 18, 8 A.M. We were suggested not to eat before taking the test because the test may cause stomach-churning. I received the report on the next day. The result showed negative and I was allowed to leave and end my 14-day quarantine life.

After we were transported by the government to the issued hotel, I was expecting a relatively low-quality hotel. However, the hotel turned out to be much better than I imagined. Although the hotel was a little old, it was a 4-star hotel anyway. The basic facilities were quite good. During the 14-days quarantine, food was provided by the hotel. We also need to pay for the hotel fee on our own. The overall price was approximately 7000 Chinese yuan, including meals.

When I arrived at Chinese Customs on April 6, I didn't expect an inspection as strict as this. We were accompanied by dozens of staff at almost every corner, all of them wearing protective suits and N95 masks. We were then being lead to do nucleic acid testing one by one. After the test, we were questioned by the staff about where we were coming from and whether we had been exposed to COVID 19 patients. The whole process lasted for about one and a half hours. Then, we were transported to the government-issued hotel for 14 days quarantine.

I am an international student. I stayed in my rented house for 3 months already. I have masks, but I don't want to go to supermarkets. I purchased everything that I need online. I survived the 3 months by using Amazon and eBay. Since I can't go out, I bought a VR game set to exercise. It was not hard to stay at home, but I really want to have some meals in a restaurant.

It is a meme describing tens of thousand people buying their first gun during Pandemic. Gun sales skyrocket during coronavirus pandemic, people showing up at the gun store try to buy something before everything is sold out. However, many people live in California have no knowledge of firearm and firearm laws in the state of California, thus some gun owners made this meme to reflect on those people. This picture reflects how people are planning for a bad situation in the future, and many do realize that when the situation is out of control, they are responsible for their own safety.

Original description: "Videos of Italian citizens singing and dancing from balconies during lockdown have been shared widely on global social media and have inspired many in the world. One German tried to imitate and sang from his own balcony to boost morale amid the pandemic, and it turned out … differently."
It is a funny video showing german stereotype, but it shows how people react when they are stuck in their homes during this pandemic. Also, I will put a link to another video that compares German and Italian.

After the governor announce COV is spreading out among the country. Everyone was stressed out so they went to the grocery store to buy daily use. When I went to the store, I saw there is a sign written there is no more toilet paper and water. I think people are not planning to go out anymore and that is why they bought all the toilet paper and water.

My friend and I visited Target in March, and when we tried to find something like hand sanitizer, paper towel, we found nothing. Panic exists during these days and people just want food and supplies as much as possible, many people think if they don't by them, they will starve and have nothing to eat or use.

When the virus spread around the world, as a foreign student, I was also greatly affected. All of our offline courses are taught online. But because of the epidemic, it is very difficult for me to go back to my country. And now the government requires everyone to be well protected before going out. For example, many supermarkets require citizens to wear masks before entering. Masks that can isolate the virus are also scarce. Masks and antiseptic wipes are almost out of stock at CVS and Amazon. At this time, I received a health package from my country. It contains masks, disinfectant wipes and other items. I think this health package helped me a lot at this particular time. It's also very important to me.

As a high school history teacher I collect newspaper articles for my students to later explore. The 5/24/2020 New York Times cover had the lists of victims of Covid-19. The paper sold out early. I tried to get a copy calling everyone I could think of. My boss a principal at Sem Yeto called his family in New York and they were able to find me one. I just got it today.

"Nomadic pastoralists in Iran play an important role in national food security and sovereignty.1 Since the arrival of COVID-19, they have been deeply concerned about the impact that the pandemic is likely to have on them. Their recently established national platform, the Union of Indigenous Nomadic Tribes of Iran (UNINOMAD),2 is taking action. UNINOMAD outlined its members’ concerns and proposed solutions in a letter sent to key national authorities on 10 March. We will outline the main points of the letter and reflect on what the overall situation might mean for nomadic pastoralism in Iran."

The decision to close hospitals to visitors was a step taken to ensure the safety and health of staff, immunodeficient and vulnerable members of our community. Both closures impacted my ability to visit family members and while this was difficult, I understood the importance of introducing these measures given the circumstances of the pandemic. And additionally, appreciated that in response to these changes, the facilities introduced various means of staying connected with loved ones.
