Lucy Li Oral History, 2020/10/03
Lucy Li speaks on her experience during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the cleaning ritual she has developed, her new recognition of the need for social interaction, remote work and school, and how the economy’s dip will affect her generation. She finds work-life-school balance, feeling stuck in her apartment, and connection with others challenging. She finds that nihilistic memes, social media management strategy, and park walks with friends keep her grounded. Li finds hope in community resilience. -

When a cough isn't just a cough...
I suffer from severe allergies pretty much year round... So occasionally I sneeze or cough a few times when the pollen is particularly bad. But now, with the pandemic, anytime anyone sneezes or coughs, everyone gives you 'the look.' I find myself automatically explaining my sneeze, "Allergy Sneeze... nothing to see here," each time, so when I saw this meme on pinterest, it made me chuckle! -

Coronavirus jokes are spreading (almost) as fast as the actual COVID-19
This meme sheds some humor on restaurants and the pandemic trying to make light of a bad situation. Humor can lighten the mood and put a smile on people’s faces when so many people are going through this. The meme states “If you’ve eaten at Casa Bonita you’re immune to the coronavirus.” Implying that if you eat there you can handle the virus. -

The Toilet Paper Chaos
Me and my family would go to the store to get grocieries, the shelfs were basically empty and had nothing on them. We needed toilet paper but there really wasn't any there, so we had to improvise and get paper towels which were about gone. The meme says a lot about the pandemic because it was a hassle to go to the store and get groceries cause there wasn't anything there. -

Covid-19 Memes from the Anime Community
I like anime and have been feeling depressed during the pandemic. Silly memes like these make me smile. (For reference, "weeb" is a shortened version of "weeaboo", which is someone who really likes anime). A lot of people who have nerdy hobbies like watching anime have spent much of quarantine inside indulging in their hobbies but many are wanting to go back to normal life. Some things from normal life that have been canceled due to COVID-19 is the ability to go to anime conventions and bookstores, where many weebs can hangout and meet with each other. The frustration from the "anti-mask" movement and the lack of decline in coronavirus cases has spawned many anime memes promoting mask wearing and proper handwashing during the pandemic. (The image of Unit 01 (the purple robot) "washing" their hands is currently hanging on my bathroom door at home). -

Dig Deeper to Find Husband in Garden
During quarantine, families were forced to be together 24/7. That situation, along with the usual stresses of marriage led to jokes old and new. This meme shows that the wife buried her husband in the garden--we assume because she just. Could. Not. Take. It. Anymore. -

The Last Supper of Jesus Conducted via Zoom
This is a funny and artistic meme depicting Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting, The Last Supper as if it would happen during the pandemic. The supper turned into a virtual event, conducted over Zoom. Jesus is seated at the table with the apostles overhead in their video chat windows. Jesus is assumed to be the host of the meeting, and he is using a Mac computer. Very well done! -

Coronavirus Student Humour
While much of the debate around schools reopening is situated between politicians and educators, students also have something to contribute to the conversation. Humour seems to be the way that some are choosing to approach the current situation, approaching potential illness and death with a devil may care attitude. This item was added TAGS v6.1.9.1. I originally searched under the hashtag #ifschoolsreopennow. Within that search, I have chosen to add the following tweet because it highlights the approach that some students/comedians are taking in light of the current debate that is centered around in-person education. -

Life Is Endless in Quarantine with Kids
Cooped up with the kids for 24 hours a day with no end in sight is enough to drive anyone crazy. This meme makes note of the idea that one day lasts forever while in quarantine. In fact it lasts 362,648 hours! -

Why do D&D Players take coronavirus seriously?
A poster humourously referencing how players of tabletop games such as Dungeons and Dragons, which involve rolling dice, are acutely aware that while statistically 2% sounds are though it would not come off often, the way the dice roll may mean you get "2%" more frequently than average. It also refers to a "constitution score" which is a number added to a dice roll to determine if a player resists pain, poison etc. These concepts are applied to the statistics and response to coronavirus to make a point regarding those who don't take the virus seriously. It reads: "Why do / D&D PLAYERS take coronavirus seriously? / We've learned two things from experience: / A 2% chance of death is NOT a low as it sounds / No matter how high your Constitution score there's ALWAYS a chance yo'll fail your saving throw. / Coronavirus: It's Not a Game." -

Should we buy school clothes or pajamas?
When the covid-19 pandemic hit the U.S. almost all schools sent students home and continued school through virtual learning online or by offering education packets for drop off/pick up. It's the end of June and many school still have not announced their plan for this fall. Will students be returning to the school building to resume learning as usual? Will they be going part time? Will they continue learning from home? Will parents remove their children from public school and start homeschooling them? No one really knows yet. This meme struck me as very funny for this reason. -

"If you want to contact trace people, download Tim Horton's app" Tweet
Tweet by CBC Newfoundland reporter Matt McCann reporting on a joke made by John Haggie, the MLA (MHA) for Gander, and provincial Minister of Health made about the scandal in which Tim Horton's was revealed to be extensively tracking those who use their application. The minister joked that they should use the Tim's app in place of a custom built contact tracing application for those with covid-19. -

Social distancing due to bitch ass virus
Social distancing is the main practice of COVID-19 that people have followed (six feet apart) BUT as a person who never liked being within six feet of strangers anyway it’s nothing new and also the fact that I am a touch-starved college student nothing has changed because of it -

Meme Rona
I uploaded these photos because they are funny and during this pandemic laughing is one of the few joys someone can have. No matter how dumb they are the point is the laughter and that is important while the world is crashing around us. -

Orange County doesn't like Masks
Throughout the country, people have been looking for ways big and small to help fight the coronavirus. One of the simplest ways of helping has been wearing a mask. In Orange County, the populace has reacted aggressively against any mandate to wear a mask. Although various gyms, restaurants, and bars are reopening and suggesting that people wear masks and social distance, most of the time people are willfully ignoring the orders. This item was added TAGS v6.1.9.1. I originally searched under the hashtag #orangecounty. Within that search, I have chosen to add the following tweet because it shows the response of many individuals in Orange County when forced to wear a mask. Doing so makes one a bit of a pariah. -

Summer Plans Thwarted by Coronavirus
Summer is something that I have always looked forward to, either as a student or as a teacher. It is time to decompress, relax, and mentally prepare for the upcoming academic year. Usually a good summer consists of travel, music/art festivals, and a whole of mingling with friends and strangers alike. Although flights and cruises are cheaper than ever, social distancing and the fear of the coronavirus has limited opportunities to have a fun summer. It means getting creative with the ways that fun can be had in the middle of a pandemic. -

Haircuts may be Needed
When quarantine originally started, there was a scramble to figure out just what would be classified as an essential business. First up on the chopping block was salons, which after three months of quarantine has led to some interesting hairstyle decisions being made. Currently shops are reopening in California, but I may wait just a little while longer before I cut my hair. -

"December 31, 2020 at 11:60"

Reaction to a sudden lockdown
I have submitted 3 memes which highlight people's reaction to the pandemic. One of the memes shows what everyone expected from 2020 vs what they got which was police guarding toilet paper against people who were scared and started hoarding it. The second meme shows Darth Vader as the good guy as he is wearing a mask and listening to orders. This shows the redefinition of good vs bad citizen. The third meme shows the anxiety of people who are unable to pay rent and collecting more and more debt. With the government stimuli being too little to actually help, and the worst unemployment in history, people are feel attacked as shown in the meme. -

The Same Old Same Old
Personally, while this pandemic has impacted many people around the world, in my area we are not as affected by death nor illness, but rather the fear of the situation. There is much doubt and fear in our world at this moment in time, not only with COVID-19 but also in regard to the riots and protests. Despite this, I have merely stayed at home and both stressed over coursework and enjoyed more time to relax. I feel that this meme encapsulates the relief I experience over not having to physically go places, but also the sadness of not being able to see my friends and family. However, with social media and games especially, I am able to communicate with them and talk as I would do with them online like I would if we weren't on lockdown. -

Adios
The image portrays a single man of unknown origin standing upon an empty void. Though a beautiful sight lies in front of the man, he decides to look down whilst saying his farewell. This image relates to the pandemic because of the feeling that it conveys. The feeling of having such a beautiful sight be plagued by a farewell. Just like the events of March 6th, when a message from the district gave students a 3-week "vacation" of online school. The thought of no school is exceptionally exciting, but the thought of saying farewell to your friends would plague the moment. -

Reality of Coronavirus
Coronavirus has affected everyone in some type of way. This meme accurately represents how many people feel about this year so far, and how it has been a not so great start to a new decade. Covid-19 has taken away many opportunities and places limitations on what we can and cannot do. Personally, coronavirus has prevented me from traveling this year, as I have canceled multiple trips to abide by CDC guidelines and safety precautions. While I was looking forward to traveling this year, I know it’s important to stay inside to keep myself and others safe during this time. -

"My Plans vs. 2020" Meme

Comprised of two images taken from the opening sequence of "Shaun the Sheep", demonstrating how my plans for the year have been ruined by 2020. It summarises my feelings that all the events of the year has ruined all the plans I had, and that it has not been a great year. -

Stay Home: Home is Where the Pups are Anyways Comic
A single panel comic (along with a second identical panel with spanish text which can be found in the accompanying link) promoting staying home early in the outbreak using the internet obsession with pets as motivation. Those with pets have found they have a lot more time to spend with their cats and dogs while working from home or otherwise restricted to their houses. In the case of this specific comic, it is part of an ongoing series about the artist, Gemma, her husband Peli, and their three dogs, Mochi, and the "twinchis" Huey and Duey. The comics focus mainly around Gemma's relationship with Mochi. As such, the comic also shows how the pandemic has made its way into everyday life and ongoing business and artistic pursuits, creating a wealth of new experiences around which artists may base their work. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9rVO77lV7M/?igshid=xk89mgy0mkr2*Gemma Gené, @157ofgemma on instagram*screenshot/ instagram post/ comic
