An informational drawing made to help with social distancing, the drawing shows what a person's face would look like if the viewer were standing six feet away, holding their arm out, and looking at the persons face through their thumb and forefinger. From the artist, Mona Chalabi: "I know this is a bit dumb but I was speaking to my friend in France last night and when I said that the advice here is to stand 6 feet apart, she asked 'how much is that in meters?' so I came up with this. I also wanted to make an image that’s informative but not scary (right now, it feels like it’s hard to separate out those two). Finally, I wanted to figure out if people in the line at the supermarket really are standing too close to me. They are."

My Husband and dog Ginger are spending time together on our office couch. We have not left our house other than going to the store twice, in the last 13 days. My husband was playing a video game as I continue to do college homework via the internet. Our dog Ginger has been very happy we both have been home. We have been zooming and using Discord to talk to our friends, who we miss dearly. We didn't visit our uncle or my father on their birthdays. We decided to take Governer Dewine's plea for social distancing very seriously. The weather in Ohio is still cold, we look forward to when we can enjoy some sunshine.

People drew a picture of an orange, then posted it on their temporary instagram story and tagged their friends, friends then reposted the story with their own drawing of an orange - similar trends went around with drawings of carrots and strawberries. The instagram fits with a larger social media trend, developed during COVID19, of various story posts and reposts, used as a tactic to "kill time" while people are social distancing.
