This is a photograph of the front door of Caffe Nero in Jamaica Plain, Boston, MA, where I work. The new, shortened hours have been written by hand on the window. Below, two printouts have been printed on the door. One explains that the cafe is open for takeout only, as per the order of the governor earlier in the week. The other announces that the cafe is now giving all healthcare workers free coffee. The cafe closed for an unknown amount of time (at least 2 weeks) the day after this photo was taken.

This is a horoscope for the week (probably the week starting 03/23/2020), joking about how people are staying at home because of the quarantine. My boss sent all the employees of our cafe the image after telling us the cafe was closing in a couple days. The message with the image was "Let's hope this whole thing passes quickly and no one goes crazy being home too long!!!! Love you all!!! Be safe and stay healthy!!!!!" #HIST5241

These posters went up around our neighbourhood within a day of the government order that limited all restaurants and cafes to take away service only. The same message was also printed as a paper slip and placed under car windscreen wipers. The business behind the signs is Lux Foundry cafe, located on my street in Brunswick, Melbourne, Australia. The sign pleads with people in the neighbourhood to keep patronising the cafe, so the cafe can continue employing its staff: "We will never abandon our team. We will never abandon you. Please don't abandon us". This poster is a poignant illustration of the economic crisis that was unleashed immediately by the COVID control interventions.

For grocery worker Emma, things have changed a lot within the past few weeks. The stores are taking a lot more precautions. Everyone cleaning things constantly, there is glass to protect the cashiers at the registers, and they are allowed to wear masks. They have also raised the hourly wage during the crisis and committed to having paid sick days. Things have been pre-packaged to help limit the risks to everyone. She is not very worried about catching COVID-19.

Liz, a healthcare worker in Pittsburgh, PA, described her experience under COVID-19 as being very stressful. There is very little hand sanitizer or masks, and the facility where she works does not have a good track record for allowing enough sick time, and is even known for denying sick leave in the first place. She doesn't have a car, and on the bus people are not practicing social distancing very well, which is an additional stressor for her.
