Having been sent a text message from the Department of Health I was ordered to self isolate as I was considered a close contact of someone I was seated near on a plane. It was a scary time. We hadn’t had any lockdown measures. It was a few days after we had been told to not shake hands etc. I had sinusitis at the time. The Dept if Health Tasmania called me every day to monitor I hadn’t left the house and also ask me about my health. As I had symptoms of sinusitis that correspond with COVID-19, I had two swab tests on these 14 days of isolation. Both returned negative.

Here in this picture we can see away to prevent. getting near the bus driver by adding caution tape in the middle. Also it was Free for everyone and you could not enter unless you have a mask on. The bus was my daily ride to every were i went because i do not have a car. When the Covid-19 started i was afraid they were gonna close down the bus, but they did not. They tried their best for them to be on service because many of the citizen who's the bus are their ride.
*This is a picture of how they use caution tape on the bus to prevent anyone to get near the bus driver.

This photograph was taken of me the first time I left my home since I began self-isolation six weeks prior. It was taken in Richmond, a place only a few minutes from my home, but moving in that space, and seeing larger numbers of people was difficult after being isolated for so long.

This is a screenshot of the Alan Kohler's finance report on the 7 o'clock news in Tasmania, Australia. Kohler ended a characteristically dire covid19 financial report with this graph showing a spike in Google searches for banana bread in Australia.
Firstly, this gives an insight into everyday life for Australians cooped up at home and trying to stay entertained and feel productive. Since making banana bread is usually a way to use up overripe spotty brown bananas, it also speaks to the lack of fresh fruit and vegetables in households at the moment with everyone minimising their grocery trips.
Secondly, it's a nice visual of the phenomenon of "lockdown trends" - like zoom parties, sourdough and seedlings, the more that people posted their freshly baked banana bread on social media, the more others felt inspired to do the same.
I also think this item reflects the urge of media producers to find light in the darkness and remind viewers of the novelties of lockdown life.
Finally, I think this screenshot shows the surrealism of life in Covid19, a time when Google searches for banana bread are discussed alongside plummeting stocks in a finance report on the evening news and with our newly developed Covid19 intuition this strangeness has become a normality.

This image, and others like it, began circulating my social media feeds around mid March in reaction to people not wanting to stay home.
The doctors were putting their lives on the line to save those that became ill and the least we could do was stay home. The theory being that if we all stayed home then there would be less people infected and the rush of covid patients would be slowed.
I personally took the stay at home order/ask very seriously.
*This image appeared in my Facebook feed. It shows a doctor holding a sign asking everyone to stay home.

As soon as the CDC announced that the general public should start wearing masks whenever we are away from home I began making masks for myself, family, and friends. Unlike most people who sew I did not have a large stash of fabric to work with and the stores were out and even getting it from an online seller was taking four weeks. I reshared a picture of empty shelves at the Walmart fabric department someone else had taken and shared on Facebook and a woman I had only met once offered to send me fabric. I live in Texas and she lives in California. This is the box of fabric she sent via priority mail. I was so excited to receive this treasure. On top of that I've been getting elastic for mask making from another friend in Oklahoma who was able to order it wholesale, right before it became impossible to get.
I've sent 60 masks to a local prison, about 30-40 to the Window Rock Reservation Wellness Center, and have given and sold about another 100 to friends, family, and random people who found out I was making masks via Facebook.
I've also sent mask to several other states, including Ohio, Alaska, Michigan, and Kentucky, including masks made from the material in that box.

Signs, like this one at a west Wichita Target, act as a first line of defense against the coronavirus by instructing potentially-ill shoppers to turn back should they happen to have any of the listed symptoms. While a cough or a fever does not necessarily mean that a person has COVID-19, the highly contagious disease's stealthy transmission, combined with modern medicine's nascent understanding of the illness, has made such precautions a necessity as communities try to mitigate the virus's effects.

This planning exercise involved 60+ staff working remotely across four continents and three Australian states/territories, comprising eight specialist teams (plus partners from Data61 and FrontierSI) planning over 50 projects with interrelated dependencies. The resource shows how we adopted the Miro digital whiteboard to plan our program increment when we couldn't meet face-to-face. We adapted the tool to mirror our workplace culture that values close collaboration and inclusiveness.

This cartoon of a man with a mask on and a ventriloquist doll really exemplifies time in quarantine, with both a new sense humour but also a newfound urge to try old and new activities. It shows how with all this time we all have at the moment, people are either going back to old hobbies or trying new ones.

In March of 2020, highschool had to be adapted to comply with social distancing. Large groups put people at risk of contracting Covid 19 so schools had to be closed. Teachers and students alike had to adapt to this newfound reality. The screenshot represents a Tuesday afternoon in May when I would have been in a classroom. But instead, my assignment was online through Google Classroom and my tutoring session was on-line on the Zoom platform.

My roommate took this photo on her daily walk, something she started doing early on in quarantine to stay active while staying safe. It asks for people to recycle their plastic water bottles so that they can be made into face shields for our health care workers. Health workers are facing a lack of PPE and individuals have started making face masks for them to use.

“In the fight against COVID-19, tribal nations face many of the same health, education, and economic public policy challenges as non-Native state and local governments. However, they are further hindered by an obstacle course of red tape and administrative misapplications from the federal government that prevents tribes from fully utilizing their sovereign authority and hamper their pandemic defense and recovery strategies. This is an area that some U.S. representatives feel deserves the full attention of Congress and the Administration. The House Natural Resources Committee Democrats hosted a virtual roundtable discussion in which members of The House of Representatives listened to leading experts from Indian Country about how federal relief support could be improved to provide tribes with the resources and flexibility they need to provide for their people.” #IndigenousStories

“A new bill announced today by the co-chairs of the Congressional Native American Caucus would give tribes emergency authority of broadband spectrum over their lands, in an effort to greatly increase internet access for tribal nations grappling with COVID-19 pandemic response. ‘Broadband has been an issue…in Indian Country, for a very long time,’ Haaland said in an interview with The NM Political Report. ‘The pandemic has pulled back the blanket and the sun is illuminating these disparities.’ She added that internet access should be viewed as a basic necessity, like home electricity.” #IndigenousStories

“The Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas presented a donation to Sam Houston Electric Cooperative’s Helping Hands program on April 29. Tribal Council Chairwoman Cecilia Flores presented the check to Sam Houston EC Chief Communications Officer Keith Stapleton. ‘The donation was made in honor of Jennifer Grubbs, and her service and dedication to our community,’ Flores said… ‘This donation is tremendously helpful, and will make an immediate impact for families in our area,’ Stapleton said. Sam Houston Electric Cooperative’s Helping Hands Program provides funding to help members in distress pay their electric bills. ‘The Helping Hands Program is especially important when so many local families have been impacted by COVID-19 and the April 22 tornado,’ Stapleton said.” #IndigenousStories
