POV of a Cattle Rancher
This is important to me because this is my partner speaking. At the beginning of the pandemic we were living in Montana on a working cattle ranch, so our experience was a lot different than what we were seeing on social media. We experienced extreme food shortages and ironically had an even harder time selling cattle to processors and feed lots. -

Testimony from an Automotive Worker
“I'm an Army veteran. I knew the risks of being a soldier and accepted that I can die in the line of duty at a young age. And I was okay with that. However I don’t feel the same way about the automotive industry. Well there has been changes. We have to fill out a form everyday stating we aren't sick or been in contact with covid, as well as go through a temperature scanner and we have to wear a mask and glasses that the company provides. They tell us to stay 6 ft apart but no one does nor do they enforce it. When someone does come in sick they clean their station and 10 minutes later we start up again. If you show symptoms you are not allowed to come to work. Even if your test comes up negative you are forced to stay home. As a whole we are feeling like we are risking our lives for nothing but to make people richer from the sweat of our brow. And because of that a lot of people including myself have been suffering mentally and physically, we are overworked, people are still getting sick, dying and yet we continue to run. We don’t see ourselves as essential even though the company says we are. Our leaders here aren't communicative about covid cases. They don’t tell anyone, we find out from others that were at the scene. Covid is spreading here and nothing is being done to fix that." -

“Once the World Stopped” - Final Trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLg4GmKELd4&feature=emb_title Theater students and faculty at the University of North Dakota (UND) were left with a semester’s worth of classes to fill when the performing arts department was closed down due to COVID-19 restrictions. The students and faculty decided to put a play into production that “follows a group of high school students 30 years into the future learning about the many events of 2020. Mr. Silverside, the class substitute, takes the class on a journey to the past through his experiences, stories and interactive assignments.” “UND student and actress/writing team member Erin Chaves said the goal was to create a piece that would be relatable to multiple audiences and that also carried a strong message. When meetings about the production got started this fall, students spoke about their experiences from the summer, whether that included learning a new recipe or watching a new show or dealing with more serious topics, such as the Black Lives Matter movement or losing a job.” -

A Thriving Glass Factory, Melbourne
The glass factory is in the middle of Spotswood, a suburb close to central Melbourne. The factory produces glass containers for many products including baby food, vegemite, beer, wine, jam, and kombucha. They have been very busy this year, thanks to panic buying. One staff member stated that production had been high since March 2020, just like it was in Christmas 2019, the peak season for glass production. Glass bottles are made around Australia as they are quite difficult to transport, so they cannot be outsourced to overseas manufacturers. This facility has around 100 staff. In these images you can see some staff having a break out the front of the business. They are wearing masks in accordance with Victorian (state) laws. In the other image you can also see that the workplace is taking temperature checks to reduce the risk of virus transmission. 37°49'49.5"S 144°53'30.5"E HIST30060 -
