This novel, published on the fifth of May 2020 and currently a best-seller on Amazon Australia, is one of many examples of COVID-19 or Quarantine themed romance novels, in which both the hero and heroine are in lockdown but fall in love regardless. In a twitter thread announcing the book, Scott explained that writing 'Love Under Quarantine' was a way to process the stress and depression of the current historical moment by giving it a "hopeful ending." The fact that people are buying and reading this book, and books like it, shows the power and necessity of feel-good cultural texts during the pandemic.

Despite the city's wide-open spaces and sprawling design, signs like this one outside Sedgwick County's west Wichita extension office still laid out the necessary mitigation measures meant to slow COVID-19's transmission. This particular sign sat alongside the biking/jogging path that skirted by the county office, thus reinforcing both the urgent need for social distancing, as well as the ease with which the virus can spread from person-to-person.

Grabbe undertook the study to help his three kids learn the scientific method while at home due to school closures. The study attracted attention from local news and was a featured story on National Public Radio’s Weekend Edition, May 3, 2020.

From the website: "The coronavirus has—and will continue to—affect people from all walks of life, at every age, background and socioeconomic status. As COVID-19 spreads across the country, we at The Root are committed to chronicling its impact on the black community. We will continue to write stories of noted individuals who’ve lost their lives to this deadly virus. But we also wanted to remember and honor the artists, teachers, activists, thinkers, innovators, leaders and other unsung heroes who’ve also been taken too soon by this deadly disease. We will update this list regularly as this pandemic continues to touch our community."

Being stuck in quarantine could be boring if you have nothing to do. I decided to start new things to keep myself occupied. Since being stuck at home is a new reality for now, I decided to start baking and cooking. Baking after a day of school at home makes me calm and it gets my mind off of other things that are happening. In the beginning I did mess up a couple of times while baking, but I got the hang of it and it makes being stuck at home so much better.

During this time Music is an escape from reality. While listening to music you can drown out the problems of the world and fall into a world of your own. Music allows you to escape from the problems of the world while still staying home. Music is not just an escape, it is the hope that one day the world will go back to normal. Music is a world of its own, that you can experience at home. Staying home during this time keeps people safe. You can stay home but still escape with the help of music.

Due to the pandemic, the enforcement of using masks has changed my daily life. I had never had to use a masks but now I can’t enter any store without having one. Any store that requires masks won’t let anyone enter it without. This enforcement has gotten in me habit of never leaving my home without facial protection due to my fear of not being able to proceed with my normal everyday life. Though I know it is for the safety of my community it still has taken a huge part of my routine. #CSUS #HIST15H

COVID-19 has a larger impact than just our economy and the shut in of our population. With schools being closed and classes being moved to online, it is also our public education that is being afflicted by this virus. While economic recessions come and go, missed opportunities for education are sometimes looked over and forgotten, missing their mark on improving someone’s life. Many parks, historical sites, and zoos are currently closed and unable to provide the people an opportunity to explore the world around them. The photo above is the Salem Pioneer Village in Forest River Park and offers a genuine educational look at the puritan ways of life in early Salem. The park offers tours and select hours of operation, meaning it isn’t always open for the public. So a forced closure of this public park has a significant impact, very similar to many other locations that are not privately owned. While this park is small, there are many very large parks that are completely closed and inaccessible to the public. Some of these places being of significance, Acadia National Park, the only national park in New England is currently closed. Another is the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, better known as the AT, is currently closed off to hikers during the best time of the year to accomplish this great feat. COVID-19 will present a significant obstacle in the recovering phase of many of the parks and educational sites throughout the U.S.; however, it does provide an opportunity for nature to relax and not deal with human interaction.

Today is April 23rd 2020
My name is Dylan and I live in the small New England town of Marblehead, just 15 miles north of Boston. Marblehead is one of those small boutique towns that pride themselves on its rich history and position right on the ocean. However, due to COVID-19, Marblehead has effectively become barren and small businesses along our main road are closed until the foreseeable future. This road is usually busy and crowded with traffic, runners, dog walkers, street side parkers, and tourists. This has been the state of the town for weeks now and has been the cause of some small-town discussions online.
The closing of businesses in town will be hard felt compared to many other towns and cities because Marblehead is against the establishment of chain stores (besides Dunks and Starbucks of course) and relies heavily on local businesses created by local Marbleheaders. This pandemic will be the cause of many financial issues in our town and as the U.S. remains closed, our town’s income from lobstering and tourism will likely be very limited. The town has also passed rules for those willing to shop, that we must wear face coverings to get our shopping done. And for walkers, walking around town has also been hampered by the closing of certain public locations, parks, and access to walkways connecting different parts of town. As for myself, I prefer to stay indoors for the time being due to our rather poor weather lately.

Being away from everything that makes life busy has given me a lot of free time. More time to try new things and be creative. Everyday after I finish school work, me and my brother will go outside. Whether we play basketball or try something new with chalk we always have fun. Even though this are hard right now, we can use this time and make the most of it.

We are undergoing a world pandemic from
the virus known as Covid-19. We are told to keep our distance from other people to avoid spreading the virus. There is an item keeping us all safe. It is a mask to block out germs from entering our airways. It is considered a life saver as people start to wear them more. In this photograph, that is a N95 mask. Any mask works to keep us from getting this virus and it keeps our families and loved ones safe. This is an example of a life saver in this hard time.

When in quarantine, you try to find anything to do to keep yourself occupied considering were not allowed to see any friends or go out. Online school takes up a good portion of the day starting at 9 but really depending on when your teachers post the school work. Working on the computer a lot can strain your eyes so it's best to take a break to do something else once in a while. Now is a great time to learn new talents like baking, cooking, practicing a sport, singing, drawing, etc. Journaling has been a great way for me to just relax and express what I'm feeling. Whether it's just drawing simple lettering, looking at ideas on Pinterest, or even coming up with my own ideas and trying to challenge myself. It's sometimes best to not spend all your time sitting on your phone and watching TV the entire day. Also, there is now more time to spend and bond with your family which is always nice to do. Quarantine has really given us the time to remember to never take things for granted and to always live in the moment.
