Empty banana shelf at Target.
This is an empty banana shelf at a Target in Pflugerville TX. People did not only hoard Toilet paper and handsanitizer, they also bought many fresh fruits and vegetables. Most of the bins in this produce section were empty as well. I don't know how people are going to keep all of the produce from spoiling before they eat it. Also in this Target, most of the refrigerators and freezers that held prepackaged meals or TV dinners were completely empty. -

Priest gives sermon to an empty congregation. Parishioners replaced with images of themselves.
Dear First Parish Family, I saw this story yesterday and I was touched by the thoughtful and creative idea. Father Guiseppe Corbari pastors a church in Italy, and rather than live-stream in an empty sanctuary, he asked the church family to send in photographs of themselves. He printed them off and put them in the pews. I love the idea of having you in the sanctuary with me as we observe the physical distancing recommendations. Please send your photos to me (scott.cousineau@firstparishsaco.org). I would love to see your faces looking back at me on Sunday morning! Grace and Peace to you, Scott -

In a place like Chiang Mai where the livelihood of nearly a million people hangs in the balance, no one wants to own the shop where Covid-19 spread. -
