"PACIFIC ISLANDERS UNITE TO FIGHT COVID AMIDST EXTREME CLIMATE CHANGE EVENTS"
"COVID-19, measles, and dengue fever are not the only risks the Pacific islands face. These island nations collectively emit less than one percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, yet they disproportionately experience the impacts of the climate crisis. There are 20 sovereign island nations in the Pacific, with between 20,000-30,000 islands covering more than 16 million square miles of the Pacific Ocean. The region possesses one of the world’s richest biodiversities and unique cultures, with more than 1,500 Indigenous spoken languages. Papua New Guinea alone is home to well over 800 Indigenous languages, more than most other countries in the world. The remoteness of this constellation of islands within the southern hemisphere puts the region at a distinct advantage over COVID-19. However, relatively small land masses with growing populations heighten the region’s susceptibility to the multiplicative effects of the measles and dengue fever epidemics, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the brutal impacts of climate change." -

"This fall will bring a new school year with new challenges that we have never faced before as a school district. While it is our intention to open and hold school in the fall like any other year, we know there will be some differences. We are working on providing a safe environment that limits exposure by social distancing in the best way possible and still maintaining student learning at a high level. We know that returning to school campuses will bring a risk of exposure and it is important for each of us to do our part to keep everyone as safe as possible." -

"COVID-19 Letter from the chief"
"We are living in an unprecedented time, facing unprecedented challenges. Situations, details change daily, sometimes even hourly. I think it’s important that you know that our tribe is stable. We have always been a tribe known for paying its bills, taking care of our people, limiting our debt. Let me assure you that is still the Easter Shawnee Tribe, even in these turbulent times. Let me also assure you, your Business Committee, your Business Managers, your tribal employees and your Chief are working tirelessly to address these current challenges. Let me further assure you that with every decision we make, we are acutely concerned with how that decision impacts our tribal citizens. You, each one of you, you are our number one concern." -

Frustrated Covid post I'm nonessential. The Birmingham university my museum is under isn't switching to online and they still have 400+ students living on campus. Ok, so our museum has been closed to the public for almost two weeks and the university has told all employees to work from home BUT us. I'm working remotely a little bit, but all the staff were told to come in today to deep clean the museum, which is an enclosed metal room and that's like ten-plus of us in one room. We have custodial staff who have the materials and knowledge to do this properly, but... -

My life for the past weeks and likely many to come, is all about how the community can support our businesses. They are taking heroic steps to slow the spread of COVID-19, knowing the crippling impact it will have on the lives of their employees as well as their business. A job is invaluable when you don't have one. -

We have made adjustments as far as going out. Just small get togethers with close friends and whatnot. But our lives have been severely altered due to this pandemic. We've coped the best we can, but it's still hard to not be able to go out with friends or run to the store whenever we want. Yet even though it's hard, we all are very aware of how it could be much worse. We need to stick together as a nation and as a society now more than ever. -

Despite the changing environment COVID-19 has left my business with, I have been able to adapt at an equally swift pace. As an essential business who serves the Tri-State's plastic manufactures, MAC Industrial Services has been poised to mostly maintain a sense of security; to its employees, customers and stakeholders. At times I am uncertain if we can work tomorrow. At other times we are working overtime! This is in the face of our colleagues struggling to keep afloat and the CARES Act slow process. For now, we take it day by day and are honored to be employed. -

As a United States Air Force Veteran, I have found the COVID-19 quarantine and coping with all of the restrictions quite easy compared to all of the trainings and combat exposure that I have experienced during my 13-year tenure in the United States Air Force. Adjusting to change was, and still is, quite easy for me. The Air Force has prepared me for every possible crisis and I'm extremely grateful for my hard work and commitment serving my country. -

"Shelter In Place" handmade paper, ceramic letters on plastic cutting grid, 2020. I had paper pulp ready to go for my 6th graders for this grading period. Then...So, I froze most of it for later use, but did a few experiments. I cut the house form in a thin sheet of plastic to serve as the deckle and I cast several house forms. As one week turned into two and going into three, the term Shelter In Place was starting to be mentioned quite frequently in the media. I chose to put it on "The Grid" to symbolize that some structure of civilization needed to endure. -

It's unreal. We are not homebodies. And we know nothing will ever be entirely back to normal. We'll adjust to a new normal. But in a way it's been nice to slow down, stay in and be together; that's been the silver lining. -

Big life changes here. I'm doing something a little scary. As of this weekend, I will be moving back home to work in the COVID crisis in Detroit for up to 13 weeks. My heart is a little heavy to be temporarily leaving my awesome jobs, apartment, and sunshine. But I am excited to spend time with my family (and friends if this ban gets lifted). Please pray for me as I'm experiencing a mix of emotions leaving this place for a time. Pray for my health and safety working in this hospital. Pray for the risk of the situation and the risk I am taking. -

Thankfully the Covid-19 has stayed out of Steuben County, Indiana for the time being. There are people panic buying and there is a certain number of items that are constantly out of stock in the stores. My job has been fairly normal with business as usual but the rain has kept most everyone out of work ever since the 1st of March. I have been working on my parents' house because they're getting older and they can't do it as much as they used to. And in between times in the evening, I am picking my crochet back up and trying to figure out a pattern I've been putting off for years. [Upside-Down Face Emoji] Everybody keeps having babies and this seemed like a simple project that I could quickly do in decent quantities. Life goes on and new little ones are always going to need shoes for those precious little feetsies, especially with summer just around the corner. -

I have run my business from my home for years. The bracelet manufacturing is done by ladies in their own homes so there has not been a huge shift other than my assistant staying away (which means I smoke cigars and drink bourbon in the office a great deal now!). This has brought my wholesale accounts to a standstill so I greatly miss the travel, speaking with my stores and interaction with my sales reps. A business associate and I will be premiering a bawdy Facebook live show tonight and doing it a few times a week with silly games, drinking, creating talk segments and chances to win or buy our products. Aside from business changes, I miss dining out and socializing. I even cleaned my own damn house (Oh the horror!! ;P) and found where my cleaning lady was cutting conrners. I do laugh my ass off at people in the grocery stores even more than prior to the virus but have seen some wonderful acts of kindness as well. I look at this with the sangfroid "this too shall pass" but keep things locked and loaded in case shit hits the fan. -

I had to be quarantined on March 9, because I got pretty sick, so by this point I was running out of things to clean and, considering I haven't been able to attend any of my art classes, I decided to do something fun and make a little baby Yoda!
