Pandemic songs - modern classics reworded
For about 18 months during the main phase of the pandemic, I sent a daily covid (numbers and rates) tracker to a large number of colleagues in the Health and Social Care community in Plymouth.

It was a bit of fun, but people loved it and some Teams actually had a sing along to the new release each Friday. Depending on your age, you may know some of them. If nothing else, it made people look at the tracker. -

Notes from Coronaland--Poems Written Every Day in April 2020
My English professor, Jo Kaplan, pen name for Joanna Parypinski, wrote a lovely collection of poetry while in quarantine in April 2020. The poems are beautiful in their simplicity and accessibility. The language is sometimes surprising, but always profound and universal. I think they have captured the feelings of all of us during this difficult time.
