Wenliang Li was a doctor ophthalmologist who warned about the outbreak of COVID-19. Born in Beizhen, China, on Oct 12, 1986, he died after becoming infected with SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan, China, on Feb 7, 2020, aged 33 years. On Dec 30, 2019, Li Wenliang sent a message to a group of fellow doctors warning them about a possible outbreak of an illness that resembled severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, where he worked.
In fact, Li was one of the first people to recognize the outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Wuhan. Li returned to work after signing the statement and was infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ( SARS-CoV-2), obviously from the patient. His death caused an uproar in China. The Chinese people expressed their gratitude for Li Guangyao's full-time service on the message board and criticized the preliminary reaction of Wuhan public security and medical staff to the warning. In the days before his death, Lee said in an interview with The New York Times: "If officials disclosed information about the epidemic earlier, I think the situation would be much better." He said: "Should There is more openness and transparency." I think Dr. Li made a major help that cannot be ignored for this outbreak, but it was not recognized in the early stages. Instead, government officials thought he was confusing people and wanted to make things bigger. His sacrifice made me feel very sad and sorry.

I saw this scene in a video posted on Instagram about the line of people waiting for shopping in Costco Wholesale before the pandemic lockdown. I surprised by how people are seriously prepared and reacted to the Covid-19 and tried their best to be safe and prepared for the quarantine.

Before the lockdown, I planned to travel to visit my family and booked a flight ticket. I didn't know that the flight date was after the lockdown situation. Because I planned everything and bought the ticket already, I decided to stick to the plan and went to the airport. Surprisingly, it was like a ghost town with just a few people. On the plane, there was just 2 more passengers and me who still tried to sit 3 rows away from the other to follow the safety rule. It was quite an adventure!

I would like to talk about how I feel about the restriction of flight as a student.
First of all, because of the global COVID-19 situation, everyone is living under anxiety and expecting when is it going to over? And our schools are very thoughtful, they considered that people might going back to their home country and stay quarantine, all the lectures becomes inline.
But when I saw the news about the restriction, I started to worry when is it going to over.
Is it gonna stop when the COVID-19 is cured?

The picture shows the Chinese herbal medicine I had for nearly a month when I was quarantined in the US. This picture shows my desperation and helplessness as an international student from China, and what I can do to protect me from being infected by the virus.
I believe that international students from China in the US during the Coronavirus crisis suffer most. Since the beginning of the 2020, we worried about the safety and health of our family in China; during the March to April, when virus spread rapidly across the US, we were restricted from going back home; and even if we went back home, we still encountered discrimination and misunderstanding of other Chinese people.
In the US, we are also the loneliest and most vulnerable groups—we were all afraid of getting out, so we had quarantine at home by ourselves. To prevent us from being infected, we started to have Chinese herbal medicine (as showed in the photo). I drank the medicine for nearly a month because the medicine was the only things I had to make me feel safe and relieved.

First of all, because of the virus, every country is doing their best to try to contain the contagion, and the flights between countries are limited. So first of all, it is very difficult to get a ticket to get home. Secondely, the photo is I wear the protection suit, with goggles and N95 face masks in order to protect myself and others. But it feels really un comfortable, and it takes total over 35 hour from US to China (I have to transfer at Korea).

As reopening moves to phase 2, many restaurants have decided to allow to sit in dining. However, since enclosed spaces have a higher risk of virus transmission than outdoor spaces, Santa Barbara city has taken a special approach. Santa Barbara's bustling State Street has been shut down so that restaurants can place their seating, either a part or all of it outside, right on the street. This is a unique scene of people eating at restaurants, but seated on the roads previously meant for cars.

Some skeptics have lumped all the events of the past couple of years, including Coronavirus, into a giant conspiracy to take down Donald Trump and turn America socialist, This post claims Mueller, impeachment, Coronavirus, and murder hornets haven’t worked, and are suggesting the Black Lives Matter protest is the next in a string of conspiracies.

Conspiracy theories about the origin of COVID-19 include a vocal group claiming a connection between the 5g network and the virus. The person in this post claims that this new “cell frequency” produces the virus and is why we must stay six feet apart. The person claims the close proximity of people with cell phones in places like cruise ships is why the number of cases was higher in these locations. The person who shared this to reddit.com/r/insanepeoplefacebook mocks the post by satirically saying to remember to turn off your COVID setting.

Businesses, such as grocery stores, have taken precautions such as having plexiglass shields and only accepting electronic payments to avoid the spread of the virus. Some, like the woman in this post, feel that this infringes upon their rights and calls for a boycott of such businesses. This woman additionally refers to her post as “exposing the modern new life,” indicating how safety standards and a person’s choice whether to abide has become politicized. The person who shared this post on reddit.com/r/insanepeoplefacebook mockingly calls the poster “Karen,” and states she “died of starvation two weeks later.”

Americans who were opposed to the closure due to Coronavirus have become more vocal about group gatherings in light of the Black Lives Matters protests. In this post, taken from reddit.com/r/insanepeoplefacebook, the person questions why carnivals aren’t allowed to open, but protests are not being stopped. The Reddit poster sarcastically points out that standing against police brutality is different from going to a county fair.

With the Black Lives Matters protests happening, Coronavirus skeptics question why there are suddenly no safety considerations. The underlying tone is that the fear was over exaggerated. The person who posted it on reddit.com/r/insanepeoplefacebook disagrees, as you can see from the comment made about the infection not being instantaneous.

As reopening moved into phase 2, some restaurants decided to allow for dining indoors. This is Noodle City, a Vietnamese restaurant in Goleta. The seating used to be highly packed inside to maximize the number of occupants, but now features more indoor space to separate the guests. Previously it could be found to be packed at almost all times, but even though it is now legal to dine inside, people are still choosing to order take out. People are still cautious of the fact that the virus transmits easier indoors than outdoors.

Due to schools moving to online only education, there is no longer a need for dining services at schools. This is Santa Barbara City College's outdoor dining area, which has been stripped as maintenance activities have been cut back. Even though non students often come to the school to take walks and enjoy the scenery, the entire school is empty and devoid of people.

Tan Cha is a popular boba tea shop chain. This is the newly opened Irvine location. They have prepared tables and seats for indoor seating but are unable to utilize them due to the ban on dining in.

Because of the COVID-19, our university makes the lectures online, and then I went back to China.
But according to the regulation for everyone's good. Publics who come from abroad need to stay in the assigned hotel for 14 days for quarantine.
And I did that, it was so long for me to stay in a single room for almost half a month.

This tweet describes exactly how I felt at the end of my college experience. There were certain events/celebrations that I had spent four years waiting and getting excited for, that I was supposed to have, that I will never get to experience. As a drama major, I was supposed be have my first leading role in a show in college. In my sorority, there were all these senior-only events that I had been looking forward to since freshman year that I had thought about for so long. I never even got to say goodbye to many of my friends. I have to move home because of COVID, and no longer get to pursue my post-grad plans. FUCK COVID-19

I thought this tweet was pretty humorous, but also had a harsh reality. During COVID-19, no strangers want to interact with each other because everyone is afraid of each other. Also, most of the time is spent inside so you don't have to worry about the threat of strange men. It is kind of sad to think about the fact that in society, this is the extreme it has to get to in order to feel safe from men. Even though, people leaving the house right now still feel far from safe with the threat of COVID.

During the pandemic I was the one that people hated the most: I traveled between China and the State because of my international student status. I luckily had my chance to go back to China before things went down in the states, meanwhile things were alleviated greatly on the other side. And as I was waiting for the plane in the airport, I saw people wearing not only face masks, but also protective suits and safety googles. Considering that this is before the coming out of face-covering requirement in California, I feel the fear everywhere around me. Yet, I was not surprised to see these protections. When many people said that Covid-19 is a scam and wearing face masks took away human rights, these people showed the world what does real protection mean.

Introducing Kedzie has also brought my family closer since kittens are a lot of work!

Ever since the end of last year, social media was hyping up 2020 to be the best year yest for a lot of us. Right from the start, we saw the rise of military tension world wide and the rise of WW3 memes. This happens the around the same time videos of Australia is shown being on fire for the last couple of weeks. The Calendar meme originates from mid March, right when scare for the pandemic was rising throughout the media. People start joking that the year is already canceled and how it's the end of the world basically. This calendar is a result of those memes about the end of the world. Obviously exaggerated but still genuinely funny. The Outfit meme is from the first day of June in the wake of protests across the country. One can see the transition from the first meme into the second.

Every time the cleaner comes to clean up, he will say "thank you" every time. He also asked the cleaner how many patients would say "thank you" and pick up the living garbage for cleaning? An uncle from Tongliao, Inner Mongolia, said: almost half of it.

In these months of the virus's rapid expansion, China has taken measures to seal off its cities. In Wuhan, no one is free to enter or leave the city. Residents in Wuhan are also unable to leave their homes. All supplies, as well as food, are delivered by a single person. People were asked to self-segregate as well as social distance.
The whole city was like an empty city, no vehicles, no lights, no people. The formerly bustling city becomes a 'dead city' with no breath. At that time, what awaited people was the rising number of confirmed diagnoses and deaths and the sporadic hope they saw as soon as they opened their eyes each day.

In the midst of the pandemic, much deeper issues have risen. I believe it is about time we faced the issue of racial injustice. It is important for me to take the time, quarantine has provided, to learn of its history and to listen to those who have been hurt.

At the beginning of March, when the pandemic started to spread in the US, it was already impossible to find face masks here. My mom mailed me 100 face masks from China to me. They became important assurance to me during the toughest time.
