Photo was taken in HiroNori Craft Ramen, one of earliest restaurants open for dine in in Orange County. Tables are placed apart and you need to scan QR code for menu (They also have disposable menus too). The photo was taken on May 28. But as of today, June 4, it is hardly to see any other restaurants open for dine in in the area.

Since January, I planned to send my 6yo to a summer theater camp. When I moved to Tempe, several people told me that Childsplay was great, and I couldn’t wait to send her. The camp was supposed to start in June, and then thanks to COVID-19 got pushed back to July. I re-arranged some summer plans to make sure she could go, only to have the in-person camp cancelled. Instead, they offered an online version called the “Triwizard Tournament.” I can say that she tried, but after months of being at home she felt weird getting online and seeing a Zoom screen full of three new teachers and new kids. When asked to say her “wizard name,” she clammed up, said her stomach hurt and said she didn’t want to continue. I was frustrated, but I said OK, logged her off, and took a breather. I think, what frustrated me the most is I want her to have a fun activity, one that doesn’t require my input. Honestly, it would be a relief if she were having fun pretending to be a wizard on Zoom instead of bored and complaining that she wants more TV time. After thinking it through, and realizing I was more upset over what I wanted, I got it together and we moved on. I hope she can do a traditional class in the future.

I first saw this picture on Instagram. I remember that day, many OC residents drove by the medical Center with posters, and many medical workers waved to the outside. Then I looked it up in the LA Times. Their smiles are so contagious for me that I have to share them.

This image shows how the large events of peoples lives are being disrupted by civil unrest in this country during the pandemic

This documentary documents how a group of heroes in Wuhan was using their power to save lives during the worst of COVID-19 in China. The reporters, patients, and doctors in the cabin are ordinary people in real life, but they are extraordinary at this moment of world crisis.

This is the picture I took a few days ago. Although the epidemic washaishihenyanz, everyone wears a mask and consciously observes the social distance

My friend was trapped on the boat because of the epidemic

Many other deliveries like Doordash, Amazon, and different sellers are using this policy to protect people from the virus in this special period.

This meme highlights the never-ending onslaught of issues we as a society are facing every day. In only 2020, we've had escalated tensions between US and North Korea, COVID-19, the brutal murder of George Floyd, riots and murder hornets. And it's only June!

This meme illustrates how we perceive memes right now - as instruments of humor that unify us in a time of crisis. We use these memes to laugh at our own dire situation in a healthy manner. It allows us to escape the constant turmoil for a little while and acknowledge that we are all going through this together, and hope that we come out of this situation stronger and more united.

The virus crisis is testing China’s ability to feed its 1.4 billion people, one of the Communist Party’s proudest achievements. Cooped up at home and fearful that the epidemic could last weeks or even months, families across China are hoarding provisions, making it harder for shops and supermarkets to keep fresh food in stock. Many places have closed off roads to passing traffic, slowing truck shipments and raising freight costs.

We have seen many untimely deaths during pandemics. Sad but harsh reality.

"The Group of Friends of Indigenous Peoples are concerned over the risks faced by indigenous peoples, both in urban and rural areas, in particular over the health and wellbeing of elders, persons with underlying health conditions, persons with disabilities, women and children."

we see the photograph was taken in the airplane. Many students wear masks and glasses to prevent getting infected by Covid-19. This is a true photo

we could see in the picture the water is blocked due to Covid-19. The public devices are blocked in case of infected

I saw this scene in a video posted on Instagram about the line of people waiting for shopping in Costco Wholesale before the pandemic lockdown. I surprised by how people are seriously prepared and reacted to the Covid-19 and tried their best to be safe and prepared for the quarantine.

Before the lockdown, I planned to travel to visit my family and booked a flight ticket. I didn't know that the flight date was after the lockdown situation. Because I planned everything and bought the ticket already, I decided to stick to the plan and went to the airport. Surprisingly, it was like a ghost town with just a few people. On the plane, there was just 2 more passengers and me who still tried to sit 3 rows away from the other to follow the safety rule. It was quite an adventure!

The picture shows the Chinese herbal medicine I had for nearly a month when I was quarantined in the US. This picture shows my desperation and helplessness as an international student from China, and what I can do to protect me from being infected by the virus. I believe that international students from China in the US during the Coronavirus crisis suffer most. Since the beginning of the 2020, we worried about the safety and health of our family in China; during the March to April, when virus spread rapidly across the US, we were restricted from going back home; and even if we went back home, we still encountered discrimination and misunderstanding of other Chinese people. In the US, we are also the loneliest and most vulnerable groups—we were all afraid of getting out, so we had quarantine at home by ourselves. To prevent us from being infected, we started to have Chinese herbal medicine (as showed in the photo). I drank the medicine for nearly a month because the medicine was the only things I had to make me feel safe and relieved.

Some skeptics have lumped all the events of the past couple of years, including Coronavirus, into a giant conspiracy to take down Donald Trump and turn America socialist, This post claims Mueller, impeachment, Coronavirus, and murder hornets haven’t worked, and are suggesting the Black Lives Matter protest is the next in a string of conspiracies. The person who shared this to reddit.com/r/insanepeoplefacebook mocks it by asking if these things didn’t exist prior to a Trump.

Conspiracy theories about the origin of COVID-19 include a vocal group claiming a connection between the 5g network and the virus. The person in this post claims that this new “cell frequency” produces the virus and is why we must stay six feet apart. The person claims the close proximity of people with cell phones in places like cruise ships is why the number of cases was higher in these locations. The person who shared this to reddit.com/r/insanepeoplefacebook mocks the post by satirically saying to remember to turn off your COVID setting.

Businesses, such as grocery stores, have taken precautions such as having plexiglass shields and only accepting electronic payments to avoid the spread of the virus. Some, like the woman in this post, feel that this infringes upon their rights and calls for a boycott of such businesses. This woman additionally refers to her post as “exposing the modern new life,” indicating how safety standards and a person’s choice whether to abide has become politicized. The person who shared this post on reddit.com/r/insanepeoplefacebook mockingly calls the poster “Karen,” and states she “died of starvation two weeks later.”

Americans who were opposed to the closure due to Coronavirus have become more vocal about group gatherings in light of the Black Lives Matters protests. In this post, taken from reddit.com/r/insanepeoplefacebook, the person questions why carnivals aren’t allowed to open, but protests are not being stopped. The Reddit poster sarcastically points out that standing against police brutality is different from going to a county fair.

US president says new guidance is ‘voluntary’ and only covers non-medical masks

When time and times square came to a standstill. Lockdown in new york. New york has been forced into lockdown joining california and other us states as americans are warned to prepare for the worst. Officials across the us. Andrew cuomo ordered nonessential businesses to keep 100 of their workforce at home in an effort to combat the spread of the covid 19 pandemic. Here is what lockdown looks like in various states as residents are urged to remain indoors.

This is an ad that came across my newsfeed offering facemasks with protest quotes on them.It is important to show the impact of the Pandemic and while not stopping protests it is affecting how they are conducted and being used as a tool to represent these great causes.

After two recent deaths of our pets and the ability to be home 24/7, we decided to foster-to-adopt a kitten. His name is Kedzie, intentionally named after the Chicago street. My family is comprised of three busy adults with varying schedules, so now we are able to spend genuine time with him. Introducing Kedzie has also brought my family closer since kittens are a lot of work!

Ever since the end of last year, social media was hyping up 2020 to be the best year yest for a lot of us. Right from the start, we saw the rise of military tension world wide and the rise of WW3 memes. This happens the around the same time videos of Australia is shown being on fire for the last couple of weeks. The Calendar meme originates from mid March, right when scare for the pandemic was rising throughout the media. People start joking that the year is already canceled and how it's the end of the world basically. This calendar is a result of those memes about the end of the world. Obviously exaggerated but still genuinely funny. The Outfit meme is from the first day of June in the wake of protests across the country. One can see the transition from the first meme into the second.

My parents donated masks and suit to the Hospital.

In these months of the virus's rapid expansion, China has taken measures to seal off its cities. In Wuhan, no one is free to enter or leave the city. Residents in Wuhan are also unable to leave their homes. All supplies, as well as food, are delivered by a single person. People were asked to self-segregate as well as social distance. The whole city was like an empty city, no vehicles, no lights, no people. The formerly bustling city becomes a 'dead city' with no breath. At that time, what awaited people was the rising number of confirmed diagnoses and deaths and the sporadic hope they saw as soon as they opened their eyes each day.

This meme both encompasses the time of the corona virus and the Netflix original series "Tiger King" documentary that became popularized during this time. Carol Baskin is accused of killing her husband without a trace in the show and is hilariously seen as the only person who can get rid of the virus.

This post demonstrates how politicized the division over COVID-19 closures have become. This post blames Democrats for not allowing gatherings, such as church, during this pandemic, but supporting the Black Lives Matters protests. It also demonstrates the growing connection between those who are opposed to both the COVID-19 shutdowns and the Black Lives Matters protests. Posted to http://reddit.com/r/insanepeoplefacebook.

When their in-person service-learning experience was short-lived due to the coronavirus, Suffolk University students continued their community-based efforts remotely by creating care packages that included food, books, and mental health information. The goal of the new Head, Health, and Heart initiative was to provide underserved children and teens with the most fundamental needs in order to survive, and 200 of the neediest families from four Boston public schools benefited.

While many small businesses shed jobs in the face of lockdowns, special needs communities saw an urgent need for more help to keep their residents safe from contracting the virus. One recruiting inducement was the promise of a hiring bonus, such as the one depicted in this photograph. Northeastern JOTPY

News story about a nurse's struggle to find daycare for her young son. Her son's previous daycare closed, perhaps permanently, he is far down the waiting list for emergency daycare for the children of frontline workers, and then a spot she did find him fell through when the parents of other children in the daycare, two of whom had weak immune systems and asked the carer not to take the child on as they feared he would carry covid19 to daycare from his mother's work at a hospital. She has not been able to work due to the unavailability of care, during a time when nurses are in high demand. However, the article also mentions that after a story on the situation was aired on the nightly television news, the nurse received numerous calls offering to watch the child for her.

A tweet from Ottawa Public Health from during an exceptional heat wave warning that increased lines outside of stores and services due to physical distancing measures could expose people to the heat for longer than usual and that precautions should be taken to avoid heat related illness such as sun burn or heat stroke.

I live in Wuhan and this is the community I lived in. We have two gates and one is blocked because of coronavirus. Even now after almost two months of Wuhan's reopen, it is still blocked. This is because the community wants to make it easier for them to check every cars and passengers, when they want to enter or leave the community, they need to scan a QR code (green code is a code show that you are safe and not infected with coronavirus, easier for government to know where you went and if suspected positive tests out on your routine, you will be notified quickly) to choose enter/leave and test your body temperature.

Due to the pandemic outbreak in US, my parents want me go back to China ASAP. This is when I arrived in Guangdong, China and waiting to do the test for coronavirus and entering the quarantine hotel to do quarantine for 14 days.

Taken from the sub Reddit “insanepeopleoffacebook,” this user posted a picture seen on Facebook of a person protesting against the shut down of businesses and facilities due to COVID-19. This participant protester equates COVID-19 with Obama, suggesting a conspiracy. These protests were made up of COVID-19 skeptics.

I was working as a dancer on the Cruise Ship MS Zaandam when the Covid-19 Pandemic hit. Countries began to close their borders and passengers and crew began presenting with flu-like symptoms. The entire ship went into lockdown to prevent the spread of this illness which was later confirmed to be Covid-19. We were denied entry to Chile, Peru and the Panama Canal. At this time we had 4 deaths onboard. The MS Rotterdam came to our aid with medical staff, test kits and supplies. Eventually we were granted entry through the Panama Canal to disembark passengers and sick crew in Florida. The ship then left port and sailed to the Bahamas were all crew had to undergo a 14 day CDC ordered quarantine. Repatriation plans were made and I was transferred to the Nieuw Statendam and sailed across the Atlantic to disembark in Rotterdam on May 13th. This ended up being a total of 60 days stranded at sea. After flying home to Perth I faced another 14 days away from family in mandatory Hotel Isolation . We were delivered meals 3 times a day that came in paper bags and other biodegradable containers. I wanted to do something creative and a little bit quirky to pass the time. This packaging became my inspiration to create a range of outfits constructed from these recycled materials. I posted a video of these creations and it went viral on Facebook. I have kept these costumes as memorabilia.

Following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25, 2020, protests erupted across the nation. During protests in Long Beach, California, Richard Grant captured a striking image of a cop pointing a rubber bullet gun at a father with his child on his shoulders. Children across the United States today are experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic and a large scale civil rights movement. What short and long term impacts will these moments have on our children?

It's currently June 2nd, 2020. I'm sitting in my room at 2:47am thinking about how the world is slowly falling apart. I didn't know that Friday would be my last day in school, my last day in those hallways rushing up the stairs to Chemistry for the final period of the day. I didn't think it would be the last time I spoke to my friends and teachers face to face. Every day is a new problem, right now there are protests all over the world following the black lives matter movement. Cops are out of control, abusing their power and killing innocent people. Stores and homes are being looted and burned down. I've been watching the news and our "president" has ordered the military to open fire if they start looting. It would seem the world is falling apart as I sit at home. The pandemic may have helped our environment but it shows that our kind is ruthless. They can't stay at home and have to protest the virus. I sometimes wonder what they think they are doing, you can't protest a virus. Stay home, you are the reason the cases keep going up. The racism and abuse of power taken on by the cops who are meant to protect us has got out of control and everything is being publicized. I wish it would stop. It's important that I got this off my mind because our children and grandchildren are going to learn about this. It's important they know how terrible our president was during this time and how stupid people can be. They should know that millions violated the stay at home order and caused our cases to rise. They should know that while everyone was at home, police were outside giving masks to WHITE people in Central Park while beating up minorities in lower income area because they didn't have a mask or weren't social distancing. They should know how terrible America really is.

First birthdays are an important part of a child's life. However, due to the precautionary measure Illinois has taken, my niece was forced to celebrate hers in an unlikely fashion. My entire family logged on a video conferencing app at the same time to wish her a Happy Birthday. On the same day, we threw her a birthday parade by honking our cars and playing cheery music down her street. Under different circumstances, we would be meeting altogether in a grand hall with gifts and food. This birthday will surely be memorable.

During the Holy month of Ramadan, those who are fortunate make their pilgrimage around the Ka'aba to increase their blessings. During this time, in an effort to limit contagion from the coronavirus, Saudi Arabia has ordered for this place to be emptied. The emptiness that surrounds the Holy place hits hard for any Muslim, knowing that they are unable to pray in the congregation during this difficult time. At the same time, mosques are being closed to limit the spread and follow the precautionary guidelines.

COVID-19 has definitely altered my daily life. I am having a hard time adjusting to online school. I have never been good at managing my time, but now it is crucial that I learn. Now that I am no longer attending school physically, I watch my siblings everyday. As a result, I have fallen behind in several of my classes, including this one. It upsets me that every teacher assigns about 2-3 things everyday. Despite the fact that I do not learn anything from it, I feel extremely overwhelmed- especially with AVID! AVID still expects us to turn in binder checks every week and do tutorials. To me, it seems inconsiderate to ask for so much since we are still trying to adapt to our normal classes let alone our elective. I would appreciate it if they were to start assigning things little by little instead of ambushing us with so much work because COVID-19 has impacted the roles we play in our family. A lot of us have to watch our younger siblings and take care of our homes, which are both time consuming. I do not seek pity I just want to teachers to be more flexible and understanding. I also hate the fact that AP exams were online this year. I hate that a couple of FRQs determined whether or not I would receive college credit. I feel like I did well in APUSH, but I am not as confident with HUG. I would be lucky if I passed. I do not think a couple of FRQs can accurately reflect a years worth of knowledge. APHUG was one of the best and most interesting classes I have taken at GGHS, but I am afraid my FRQs were not enough to even earn me a 3 because I am not stong in writing. I was hoping that I could prove myself through other parts of the test such as MC, but obviously I could not. I also do not think its fair that some students got easier prompts.

When the stay at home order was called in California, our Brownie Troop was planning for an overnight experience that weekend that had to be cancelled. Then our local Girl Scout council announced the closure of all activities through the rest of March. As the weeks progressed and it became clear all of planned activities would be postponed, we switched to a virtual platform as an experiment. During our first meeting, we just played games over Zoom, because we weren't sure how valuable and fun it would be virtually, but were pleasantly surprised how much the girls liked it. Over Mother's Day weekend, we held a virtual meeting where we had the girls make a COVID-19 virtual capsule, as well as make a Mother's Day craft for an important woman in their lives. We dropped off the supplies to each girls' house (no contact) and facilitated making the craft over zoom.

With all in person Girl Scout activities cancelled or postponed, Girl Scouts has been hosting virtual experiences for girls. In this one, Karis (Brownie, age 9), participates in a Q & A with a female astronaut. She was excited to have her question answered, as well as to learn how toilets work in space.

The day of the AP exam is usually a huge celebration, where I decorate the room for a giant pre-party, with every kids' name on the wall, cupcakes, brownies, balloons, confetti - the works. It is always a surprise for them - then we take a picture in our matching t-shirts, they go test, and afterwards (around lunch), they come back and we have a post party. This year, this could not happen. I made each of my 175 students a TikTok, and then we had a zoom after the test. The celebration is usually one of my favorite days of the year, as it is so important to me to celebrate my kids' achievement, regardless of what the score says in July. It feels so empty not having that moment together.
