This film shows residents of the Rocinha favela in Rio de Janeiro celebrating health workers by clapping, cheering, and flashing the lights of their homes. The captions reads: "Residents of Rocinha applaud and flash their lights in gratitude to the whole medical team that is dedicated to the prevention of the coronavirus. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!! Film by a resident."
The entry is tagged with #COVIDnasFavelas, a hashtag documenting the efforts of local residents to provide food and care in the absence of federal, state, and local resources and leadership. As the Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro continues to deny the severity of the pandemic, the most marginalized communities are crowd-sourcing food to help those forced to stay home. Most workers and families have few or no savings to draw on.
"Moradores da Rocinha aplaudiram e piscaram as luzes em agradecimento a toda equipe médica que está dedicada na prevenção do coronavírus. FOI LINDO!!! Vídeo de morador #COVID19NasFavelas"

I took a photographic of this sign hanging in an apartment window on an early morning walk around my suburb. The streets were very empty and deserted, but this small colourful sign, presumably by a child, was cheering. It is one of many signs and pictures in windows which have become important landmarks on my morning walks and provide a little reassurance and connection.

This graffiti went up in April inext to the Prahran Market, Stonnington, one of the areas in Melbourne with the highest count of Covid cases, which is also very affluent.
The reference may refer to the poor compliance to lock down procedures in this wealthier area, with many residents of the suburb attending the market and not adhering to social distancing rules. I took this image after visiting the supermarket next door to the market for essentials. I was distressed by the number of people socialising at the market and not complying with social distancing measures, and came across this graffiti immediately after. It struck me as particularly relevant.

Juggling grad school and a full time job hasn't been easy. The outbreak of Covid-19 made this a more difficult task, as I work at a school and teaching was shifted to an online format within a matter of days notice. It often feels that things have been moving so quickly that I haven't had time to fully comprehend them. Nonetheless, I must take note of some of the accomplishments along the way, such as finishing my first semester of grad school at Arizona State University. 10 monographs, some dozen scholarly papers, and two major papers I feel both relief and a sense of accomplishment.

My grandmother still makes sure to give us the cookies she makes when we visit, but from a safe distance. We put them in the "no man's land" on a table between us, and take from the table one at a time. Of course it's not the same, but it's the best she can do.

April 19, 2020.Catfish are known as survival fish due to their reslience in adverse conditions and long length of life. They have no scales making them extremely sensitive to external elements. Their whiskers or ‘barbels’ (latin for little beard) serve as sensory feelers for protection and food detection. Since Corona inception to current

So theatre stopped. Everywhere. Broadway all the way to the community theatre in small towns. Shows that people put there blood, sweat, and tears into were postponed, rescheduled, then finally cancelled. They majority of theatre in the U.S. is community theatre. If a company doesn't put on a show, it could very well put them out of business. It's a business that needs an a crowd. Many companies are planning there upcoming season on hope. Hope that there will be a world to see the art they created. Online major companies have put out previous recorded operas, plays, and concerts in order to keep that spirit of art alive. And it seems to be working, for now. But we are a social species. I don't know if we can handle the separation. I hope we can outlast it. See, we are running on hope.

By mid march, our mom was confined to her room. She, and all the residents of Mountainview Residence in Georgetown, had not been allowed visitors from the outside for 2 weeks. They still were enjoying their dinners in the dining room, and the interaction with other residents. But a report came back from the hospital from a resident who had fallen and been admitted. That person tested positive for Covid 19. Suddenly, it was prudent to isolate residents to their rooms. My brother and I asked - "what do we do about mom?" We wondered if we should be taking her out of there? Who would take her? Who could isolate in their home with her? But what if she is already positive? We decided neither of us could do it. So a schedule of phone calls was decided upon, and daily visits to her ground floor window would have to suffice. That first week showed much lethargy and weakness. Was she depressed? Was she missing the social interaction already? Our mom was very very tired, and had a little head cold, but she assured us she was fine.
The regional health department was in close contact to the administrator, and monitoring every resident, dictating who to swab for tests. My mom was never selected, as she never presented with a temperature. By Easter weekend - April 10, 11 and 12th, the health department finally came to test every resident and every staff member. Results showed 63 positive cases among the residents, and several more for staff members. And yes - our mom was one of the positives, but apparently asymptomatic. In hindsight, she DID have symptoms, just not the ones they were looking for. After that first week of extreme tiredness, she seemed to perk up and be just as happy and strong as before being isolated.
Although Mountainview Residence made the news with 63 positive cases, and 8 deaths at the time of airing (9 now to date) - that leaves 55 seniors with strong consitutions who recovered from whatever symptoms they had presented. I think that's amazing.
As of today, 27 April, it has been 2 weeks since any new cases have appeared. Healthy residents are now able to come outside for distanced walks with workers or family members. After 4 weeks being isolated in their rooms, these seniors are proving to be resilient and able to persevere.
We grieve with those families who have lost a parent in these last 5 weeks, but celebrate with those who are seeing their parent recovering.

During the times of COVID-19, the relationship dynamics between roommates evolve as they shift from being mere roommates to teammates in the battle of staying alive and healthy. COVID-19 demands negotiating new rules, new ways of communicating, new responsibilities, and importantly: new lasting friendships. It is interesting to see how the pandemic both tests and strengthens the bonds between roommates as we navigate responding to each other’s needs. COVID-19 has presented a series of challenges with one of the negative impacts of social distancing, including coping with loneliness. The privilege of living with friends helps boost morale and mental health as we are constantly reminded that we are going through this not alone, but together. Pictured is my roommate celebrating her twenty-second birthday on our back porch on a sunny day in April. Although it is not how she imagined she would spend her birthday, friendship and company offer a silver lining during the coronavirus pandemic.
