Small child walks in asking mom how to turn off the video call. This meme captures the idea that sometimes as a parent we let our kid have a bit more access to devices than usual, letting them make video calls to friends and family. This lets them maintain their connections to the outside world, but it also means they're not totally able to handle all the technology.

A NYT article discusses "Winter," the llama and how she might contribute to a COVID-19 treatment/cure. Absolutely no mention made of the fact that llamas come from Peru. Nor is there any discussion of how this animal is treated or lives day-to-day. I hope it's not a horrible existence for her.

This sign in Frick Park, which is a local park near my house, reminds people to stay 6 feet apart from each other. It can be easy to forget this rule, especially in a park where we have always tended to assume that we have lots of space, but these signs are located every dozen or so meters to remind people. There is a big surge in the need to go outside to exercise or just to be in nature, but in these times, we have to be smart about how we go about it. \

This image shows an incomplete paint by numbers that is depicting a French cafe. During a time of boredom and anxiety, artistic outlets such as this one provides comfort and distraction. I bought this paint by numbers to alleviate my boredom and to give me an excuse to step away from my family if I needed alone time. I bought this project when I knew I’d be in quarantine for more than two weeks. This complex painting allows me to not think about the scariness of the news and helps calm my anxiety about the current state of affairs.

Comando Regional COVID-19 dispuso el cierre de puestos de mayoristas en el Avelino, pero no hicieron nada contra el comercio ambulatorio. El recorrido empieza, en el video podemos observar que las personas piden que el general que dio la orden del cierre haga también que otros centros comerciales como Tottus , Plaza vea entre otros acaten la misma orden. Ademas mencionan que ellos no pueden cerrar ya que no solo abastecen a Arequipa sino también a Puno, Cusco y otras provincias aledañas. Los comerciantes muestran sus productos como cebolla , papas, manzana, camote, las cuales están en grandes cantidades ya que distribuyen por mayor dicen "No podemos cerrar nuestros puestos de un momento a otro a quien vamos a vender nuestros productos se van a malograr". En el video se muestra también como los comerciantes ambulantes se apoderaron de los exteriores de este centro de abastos de Arequipa los cuales generan desorden y sus ventas son solo al por menor.

A Twitter thread sharing a personal experience with COVID-19. People have turned to Twitter to speak about their experiences with COVID because they are able to reach a larger audience. Harry explains what it was like at the beginning of getting sick and he also explained how he wasn't able to get tested. The fact that so many people had it or have it and aren't getting tested makes some of the numbers look better than they are.

Facebook is a great place for groups to communicate and seek help. Rapid Response WV created a community group for West Virginians who may be experiencing food insecurity. With a loss of jobs, people may be struggling to afford food and this group acts as a resource to those who may need it. #NortheasternJOTPY

My name is Griffin, and I am currently a freshman at the University of Arizona. The Coronavirus outbreak definitely changed my life. I was on 2020 spring break in California, following the Western Collegiate Roller Hockey League Playoffs, and after a week of playing hockey and going to the beaches in California, I received an email; school was going to be online for the rest of the semester. I went back to campus, packed up my things, and headed home to Prescott, Arizona. I didn’t know what to expect, but I was sad to leave. I was leaving my new friends, my dorm, and my freshman experience behind. I hadn’t lived at home in months, since before the summer, so it was a weird transition. I felt like I was back in high school. As classes transferred to online, it seemed like the workload increased. Maybe it was because I was sleeping more and had less time, or maybe teachers just felt like they needed to increase the rigor. Either way, online classes were hard, but manageable. However, I definitely preferred in person classes.
There were many disappointments with the outbreak. My hockey team received a bid to attend the national tournament in Florida, and we were planning our trip, but it was cancelled. I also had summer plans cancelled. I had a three week study abroad trip planned to China, which was canceled for obvious reasons. I also had a few job interviews for summer internships, but all the companies told me they were no longer hiring because of the outbreak. Now, I’m still unsure what I’ll be doing this summer.
Luckily, I’ve been safe up in Prescott. My region has been relatively unaffected, with only about 100 cases of Coronavirus reported in my county. It’s one of the few perks of living in a small county. I still don’t know anyone who has been infected, but I hope it stays that way.
For now, I’m just trying to stay healthy, and I’m hoping life can get back to normal. I want to be able to return to school, play hockey, and get a job. Hopefully all this can happen. I’m disappointed my freshman year ended so abruptly, but I’m grateful to be healthy.

Recently, Covid-19 cases have been going down. However, with many states starting to reopen, the death toll is expected to greatly increase again. Originally, there were projected to be around 75,000 deaths. Now, with the states opening back up so quickly, there is no way to completely stop the outbreak from continually spreading. The U.S. can't stay shut down forever as it is hurting the economy, but is it too early to open up the doors?

This pandemic has had me home for months; no job, no school, no family to see. I am stuck in my house without my best friend who lives states away from me. These memes are what we share together, ways to make each other laugh and conversation starters. These are even things that I am able to share with my brother and his wife, who is currently undergoing testing as she is starting to show some symptoms. They are ways to make us laugh.

The sun a shooting star,
Shining so brightly.
The moon a bed,
For the man who started it all.
But why?
Why does the sun shine?
Why do the stars gleam their stunning light?
Why do we deserve it?
Why does he do this?
He wakes up just as you,
He watches and admires.
He fulfills our desires,
But what did we do to deserve it?

During this pandemic we are not allowed to go out to see other friends or family members. My friends and I have been going on facetime or doing Zoom's together so we can still see each other virtually. In the screenshot it is a picture of my bestfriend and I on facetime together since we cannot see each other in person. Even though living through this pandemic is hard for my friends and I we are still helping each other out by being socially distant and not getting anyone sick.

Some people still have to live there lives and go out and help other's. My Grandfather needs a care giver everyday from when he wakes up to when he goes to sleep. We have to do everything we can do to keep him safe and healthy. He is a lovely man and all he wants now is for this to be over so he could go visit his wife in the nursing home, because they are all shut down.

This photo was taken on my birthday, Saturday May 2nd, 2020, and it shows my cousin and I. This photo is really important to me because my cousin and I have became really close over time. We FaceTime everyday and we make many memories. She is one of my best friends and I love her very much. She is very funny and crazy, and I can’t ask for a better friend/cousin. We would sometimes come to each other’s house unexpectedly, and then spend the whole day together. She is always there for me, and I am always there for her.

We often don't think about all the little things that we do when coming in contact with people, like tipping a delivery driver face to face. With this pandemic you can't have that interaction any longer due to social distancing. A one time simple interaction you wouldn't otherwise think about has been changed.

I chose to focus on creating a collage that incorporates bits and pieces of different notable events that have taken place during this pandemic. This multi-media collage utilizes paper, gloves, masks, and cellophane in order to depict how this pandemic has changed our lives - from overpriced purell to lines at grocery stores and zoom meetings. I tried to incorporate many different pieces of history that anyone that lived through this era could relate to and I hope that came across!

Two months into quarantine can take a lot of things away from us. Anne Frank had to hide from the Nazis by living a silent life. But we have the opportunity to do a variety of things. We may not always be able to go out on the streets or visit a friend or family member, but most of us do have a backyard. Nature is the foundation of life which I have always had a fascination for. So I set up my backyard and decided to explore this small world more frequently. There is always something to do in life, and it doesn’t have to be video gaming on the Xbox or binge watching Netflix.

This is an email exchange between my mother in Randolph NJ and myself in Taylors, SC. My mother and I have a strained relationship and have only started to communicate again recently in light of the Coronavirus, the fear and uncertainty it has caused, tho I still do not speak with my father or brother. The strained nature of our relationship makes this read almost like a cross between a brief note and a newsletter of current events. It covers so many of the current pressing issues. My mother mentions the schools being closed, being unable to babysit for fear of the virus, fostering cats from the shelter because most animal shelters have closed or severely reduced their indoor kennels and seeking food for those animals from a pet food bank. She also references my son who is in a long term hospital and whom we have been unable to visit since the outbreak.
In my reply I talk about being supported in our need for a substantial plumbing repair by our church community but needing patience because there are just so many people in need right now and express similar about our need to go to a food bank at the moment, stating that I want to make sure that people who really can't get food at the moment are able to and expressing fear that we could be exposed to the virus by interacting with the volunteers who are working on overburdened lines. Additionally I tell her that I have donated money to a local domestic violence agency in her name for Mother's day as they helped me years ago and are suffering from a lack of ability to fundraise at the moment.
The entire exchange covers so many of the ways that our lives have changed and been affected by the pandemic.

COVID on the Border: Part II
Its been 6 weeks since I arrived in this small little border town. COVID and its accompanying regulations changed everything here since then. The mask rules went into effect two weeks ago, police will ticket on the spot if found in public without a mask. Over the past week I continue to watch the numbers climb, soon the U.S. has surpassed the rest of the world’s nations with COVID illnesses and deaths. Social distancing has just become the buzzword of the year. Everyone knows who Dr. Fauci is. I went to the local Walmart to pick up a few groceries; my hotel room has a fridge and stove. Milk, gone. Bottled water, gone. Eggs, gone. Soap, hand sanitizer, forget about it. There’s a hushed panic on the faces of many of the shoppers. I make do with the basics and head back to my hotel room. Is the zombie apocalypse coming?
Working in a new places forces me to meet new people. After introducing myself there’s an awkward feeling when we both realize that shaking hands is now taboo. Will shaking hands ever return? Should we adopt the Eastern bow? We now question the traditions that have shaped our lives. Who are we deep down? We’re naked and vulnerable without tradition.
Breakfast at the hotel is now a thing of the past. Can’t serve it, too many COVID concerns. Sure. And how much is the hotel saving now. We make do. The hotel receptionist now serves our coffee. She’s nice. I use it as a way to practice my Spanish again. I enjoy it, I think she’d rather me speak English. Life in the hotel consists of channel changes back and forth from CNN to FOX. I have to ensure my understanding is balanced, I guess each network cancels each other out.
Although life here is at a standstill, I am impressed with the way the farms and agriculture moves forward. I still witness workers arriving at the fields in the afternoon to escape the heat of the day. They work hard, picking carrots, broccoli, spinach and lettuce. Life doesn’t stop for many. They’ll be getting no stimulus checks, yet they continue forward, doing the only thing they know to do: work to put food on a table for a family somewhere. I’m impressed. This small little border town has some grit. It’s growing on me.
