Over the winter break, ASU launched an Innovation Quarter. For that quarter I created a series of pandemic prompts for students to respond to. Erin Craft also created half the prompts. The idea was to create specific, personal contributions for the archive. I used some of the prompts in the first week of the internship in HST 580 Archives and HST 494 the Undergraduate Research Experience

To help slow and ultimately stop the spread of the virus there are rules in place. One rule is to maintain six feet of social distancing. Social distancing is a good rule set in place. It is also an easy rule to uphold. Every open store or public place has social distance stickers placed six feet apart so that people are aware of whether or not they are socially distanced. Another extremely important rule right now is wearing a mask. Wearing a mask protects yourself and others. Masks are a part of everyday life in these times. These are very simple and effective ways to protect against Covid-19.

It's important so that people realize that just because a vaccination is approved for use, it does not mean that it's readily available

Covid-19 brought all sorts of new safety precautions and guidelines. The biggest one being masks. Everywhere you go masks are completely mandatory. Stores, restaurants and businesses. It is not ideal because the masks are uncomfortable and sometimes makes it hard to breath. Although they have made face shields and breathable masks to help. Keeping your hands clean is super important for keeping you safe during this time. Social distancing was the most difficult rule of all. Quarantine was difficult because people missed friends and extended family. Months and months of online school and work was hard for everyone but now we are slowly going back to that way things were. Overall, Covid has brought new perspectives on how to keep everyone healthy and safe during times like these.

As we all know COVID has been going on for a while now and many procedures have been put in place to help stop the spread. I agree with all of the procedures because I do think that they help us stay safe, but sometimes they do become a little annoying. For example, when I first heard about having to wear a mask everywhere that covers half of your face I was worried. I had never worn a mask before COVID had started, and when I would put on something like it, I would start to freak out because I would feel like I couldn't breathe. I have traveled back and forth a lot during the pandemic so I had to wear masks for 13 hours straight with no breaks. The first time I had to wear a mask felt weird and uncomfortable but I kept reminding myself that it was not that big of a deal and I could take it off soon. Months into the COVID pandemic wearing a mask had become a part of my daily routine. I started to not care about it because I had already gotten used to wearing them. Although I am still looking forward to when we don't have to wear masks and the pandemic is over, wearing one does not bother me anymore. Another procedure put in place was having to quarantine. Quarantine was not a big deal to me at all and I never understood why it annoyed so many people. I quarantined with my family and I do think that it brought us closer together in the end. Overall, all of the procedures put in place have helped us to stay safe, and it was something that we just had to get used to and accept as our new normal.

All the new rules revolving around the virus have were strange to get used to but seem normal now. Wearing masks, social distancing, not seeing close people who. may be high risk, etc. If someone was to tell me this would be my life a couple years ago, I would never believe them. It sounds like a different planet, completely different from what I'm used to.

I haven't gone back to school yet so there aren't many rules to follow. The first rule is to wear a mask around people and social distance. There used to be a curfew but that didn't last long. The last rule is we aren't allowed to have big gatherings.

Here at oaks christian, they have made restrictions to the normal life I use to have at school. One rule that I have gotten used to is wearing a mask for the whole school day. We have to walk in on direction in the halls, which sometimes makes me late to my next class, or I get lectured by one of the traffic controllers. What makes me sad is thinking that for the rest of my life even when covid goes away, I will still see other people around me wearing a mask and being afraid.

The rules that came with Covid are very different than normal life. It is considered lucky to get into a store in less than 5 minuted because of the lines. They only allow a certain amount of people in a store and you have to wear a mask at all times. Even when we are in a drive thru we still have to wear a mask. Wearing a mask is terrible. It's always itchy and you can't breathe.

During covid a lot of new rules have come into place. The main one is masks. This rule just makes it so that we have to wear a face mask whenever we go into a public area. I feel like this rule is important because it slows down the rate of which covid is spreading. I also think that masks can be annoying sometimes but that putting up with it is worth it if it means that we can be more safe. Another new rule is social distancing. This is where we have to stay 6 feet apart from each other at all times. I also think this rule is important to stop close interactions since we never know who has covid and who doesn't. This rule is harder to follow though because it means that we have to reduce the number of people allowed in a store at one time.

For this assignment, we are required to share our feelings about the rules and procedures that we have to follow, not only at school but in our everyday lives. Depending on how long after this is being written that you are reading it, you may have heard of some of the guidelines, such as wearing masks and staying 6 feet apart. Honestly, I have no problem with either of these rules, but the effects that they have ended up having on me have been quite substantial, I cringe slightly whenever I see a movie with many people sitting close together without masks, I feel odd leaving the house without one as well. This has become a new normal, and I am truly not sure how easy it will be to adjust once this is all over.

Before we all had to do this lockdown and have this be normal, we had to get used to some new rules to follow. First of all, we had to get used to wearing masks and now we cant go grocery shopping without one. Another thing they implemented was social distancing. We had to stay 6 feet from every other person around in lines to buy something, in classrooms, etc. We were all under lockdown and now we couldn't even go to school in person. We didn't know when we would be able to go places without a face covering and be able to go hang out and just go back to our normal lives. But we wanted this to happen quickly.

This time of fear called the Coronavirus came with many rules and restrictions, many being annoying and unpleasant. During this epidemic we have had to wear masks to prevent us from spreading the disease through the air. Another restriction that have to follow is staying six feet apart from other people as to prevent getting the disease through close contact. At the time of writing this I would say that the whole world is sick and tired of having to seclude ourselves from other people. It has gotten to the point where many people are lonely and depressed.

The rules I had to take during the pandemic were to stay inside don't go and don't do anything close to other people. we had this rule to not spread the virus whiched helped me because I have not gotten the virus.

In quarantine, we have had to wear masks to avoid the spread of COVID-19. I agreed with the rule through most of 2020 but I have become angry at the fact that everything is still closed. We have flattened the curve as we were told to at the beginning but now we are just causing more homelessness and depression from quarantine and the loss of jobs. Other rules we must follow are those of eating outdoors and not having large gatherings. All these rules have one goal, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 but it is really getting annoying at this point.

Since the beginning of Covid masks were a necessity I never minded them unless I was running or exercising still they were annoying at all times and I would have preferred without them. We also have to keep our hands clean and wash all the time for me this hasn't been a big change and unlike, others my hands haven't gotten terribly dry either. One more rule that has truly affected me is small groups of people and in those small groups 6 feet with masks on. This means I can't be with friends or at least I can't be with a lot of them at one time which has risen some complications. So all in all, I can manage through this but it does get annoying after a while.

In my covid experience rules suck. At the beginning of quarentine my mom found out that the Virus was airborne. So, she did not let us go outside for a month. I had to wear a mask all Christmas Eve. I also had to socially distance Christmas morning. My family to be safe abbides by a ton of rules during quarentine.

During the pandemic, there are rules that people are required to follow in California. Some of these rules are incredibly stupid, and some actually make sense. There was a rule for Thanksgiving that you were not allowed to sing. There was also a rule that you could have less people in a party or holiday than a funeral. These rules I find to be incredibly ridiculous, however I do think some rules are noteworthy as being fair to a pandemic, such as social distancing or washing your hands.

Some of the rules I have to follow for covid are staying socially distanceced from others, wearing a mask in public places, only hanging out with friends outside, and making sure I stay clean. I feel like these procedures are reasonable and good. They help prevent covid from spreading.

Some of the rules we have to follow are we have to stay six feet apart from everyone. We also had a curfew sometimes. We were not allowed outside of our houses (except for taking walks or anything necessary) and restauraunts were closed.

When I first heard that we had to wear masks in any restaurant, store, market or any public place I was scared. I was scared because that's when I thought everything was getting serious. In the beginning me and my family would always forget and sometimes we had to find a gas station or sometimes all the way back home to get a mask or we couldn't go inside. When things started to get bad in Ventura food was only to go and for order. We couldn't dine in anywhere and everything was eaten at home. Every time we would go for a hike there were people that would freak out and yell at us for being "too close" to them or whatever. All the time in public places there was a possible chance for getting yelled at from someone for not having the mask above your nose. Soon when things started getting worse we had to wear masks while at sports! I do gymnastics so it was even more difficult because I couldn't see below me because of the mask. My family hates wearing the masks but we do so anyways.

A lot of the new rules I have to follow, I dislike them. They make life a lot more boring and add to all the horrible aspects of life. I am not able to do many of things I was before, such as go to amusement parks or hang out with large groups of people. Not being able to do sports has also been unpleasant. Without them, life has been quite boring. Those were some of my favorite things to do, and I hate that I can not do those things anymore. However I am more than willing to follow these rules to help my fellow citizens stay safe.

This submission details my own thoughts about the Journal of the Plague Year and why I believe it is important.

To be honest there are way too many rules that you have to follow. The most common of course is the wearing a mask every time you are in the same room with a different person. The only problem is that I fell like I might pass out if I wear it for too long. Another one is Only walking in one direction. Here is the problem, You walk around the building and accidently miss your class. Either you go back 20 steps and are forced to turn around by the TA or you complete a full circuit around the building and are tardy, your choice. The next rule I find incredibly annoying. every time you transition classes you are required to get hand sanitizer. The machine ends up giving way more than it should and you send the next 5 minutes trying not to run in to something while looking down and rubbing it on your hands. You also have to do that while trying to walk to your next class. And my personal favorite, just kidding, is social distancing. I you are in break and you are trying to play a game or just talk you must be 6 feet apart. I hate it because you practically have to yell for the person to hear you.

Covid was not that scary for me because I knew that if I got it I wouldn't die due to my age. But what worried me was all the people that can die to it. So in order not to spread it I had to follow rules. I had trouble distancing from my friends. I was so use to to being close to them and talking with them. That was the only rule I had a lot of trouble with. The rest were not that bad. I did forget my mask a lot. But I now have gotten use to having it. Quarantine was easy until now because now I am so tired of it. We couldn't go to school or sports. It felt like I was lazy. But I had more time to learn new things. The rules were not bad just really boring and hard to get use too.

During the Coronavirus pandemic the government has assigned us many rules to follow, and suggestions so we are able to stay healthy. Around march when the pandemic took control of the U.S. We were ordered to stay home and we were advised to no come in contact with friends or other people. For most of march and April everyone stayed at home, and rarely went out because everything was closed including grocery stores. Whenever my mom and dad would go they would wear a face mask and gloves to make sure the didn't catch the virus. Also lines in stores were socially distanced so we'd have to stay six feet apart from all people. At first masks were hard to find, and some people even said that masks don't do anything. Soon enough, everyone was able to get a mask, and the government required you to wear a mask anytime you went somewhere in public. Throughout the summer all these rules remained in place, and since I was starting 8th grade; we had to continue with online school. We did online school until Christmas, and luckily throughout these months more stores had opened up, and even thought superiors still advised we didn't see any friends, I still got to hang out with my best friend quite a bit. It is currently January of 2021, and the covid-19 cases are higher now than the ever were. At this point wearing a mask has almost become second nature, and we recently went back to school earlier this month. We are required to wear a masks, and the desks are socially distances in the classrooms. The procedures can be a bit annoying at times, but we all know that they are to protect us and the rest of the community.

Some rules and procedures are you wear a mask at all times, stay six feet apart, and stay home. At first I was annoyed with masks because they were uncomfortable but I got used to them. Staying home was fine except I missed my friends. Now we can zoom its not the same as in person but, its still very fun.

The Plague Year outbreak started in September 1665. The plague killed 7,165 people in one week. The Great Plague lasted for 18 months. At its worst, in September of 1665, the plague killed 7,165 people in one week. Around September of 1666, the great outbreak ended. The Great Fire of London, which happened on 2-6 September 1666, may have helped end the outbreak by killing many of the rats and fleas who were spreading the plague. The Plague killed an estimated 25 million people, almost a third of the continent's population. The Black Death lingered on for centuries, particularly in cities. Outbreaks included the Great Plague of London (1665-66), in which 70,000 residents died.

When the virus came it changed everyone's daily life a far bit. Now in most places we go we have to follow many strict procedures. For example, at school we are not allowed to go down the stairs inside, we have to go around outside. This can make things pretty annoying as it sometimes takes a long time to get around outside. We also have to wear masks and stay socially distanced. I am okay with these procedures as they are proven to help. It is not just school that has lots of procedures however, all stores have procedures and they strictness varies from every store you go to. In conclusion, I am okay with the procedures because I believe they help.

Masks: Masks aren't too bad (unless you wear them for a while), you just have to remember to wear them correctly but it is hard to communicate with them and Plexiglas between you. Social Distancing: It's easy to forget especially when you're with your friends and you want to talk to them. Temperature Check: It's very quick.

The last year in change has consisted of way too many rules and procedures mandated to be followed. Rules such as mask wearing, social distance, occupancy limitations, etc. All of which are crazy and unnecessary. Masks have been scientifically proven by tons and tons of scientists and sources that they do very little to protect you, and honestly only harm you. Masks prevent your oxygen intake drastically especially when working out when you need it the most. People have developed breathing issues from mask wearing and masks have done almost nothing to protect you from covid 19. Right now, cases are said to be at their highest, when nearly all Americans are wearing their masks everywhere they go. Something's up because either the cases are fake or masks don't work. It's one or the other. Social distancing can help, sure, but realistically nobody is doing that and unless you are part of the elderly population it doesn't even matter. Getting covid is literally the flu. It comes and goes. The flu is just something people get and have to deal with it isn't a big deal. A virus with over 99% survival rate is being freaked out upon like it's the Black Plague. Unless you are the elderly you really have nothing to worry about so I'm not sure what we're doing all this 'protection' for.

I have to wear a mask everyday, I have to social distance and I have to wash my hands. I think that it is very annoying to wear a mask but you get used to it. We are not able to go places a lot and you have to stay inside for most of your day. I really don't like having to keep of with my mask all of the time because I lose it a lot.

The rules have changed since March 2020, we have to wear masks, social distance, and follow the CDC instructions, and these rules have changed the way the world is, but it's not unbearably bad. One thing that has changed is that you don't see people crowded in a small space anymore and places are a little quieter and empty. Another thing is that its harder to enjoy the things we used to do, like eating in certain restaurants, hanging out with friends, etc. These rules may have changed our lives and made them slightly less convenient but we will survive.

When the pandemic started, it was very different from normal times. We had to start waiting outside markets to go in because we had to have a certain amount of people in there. I usually go to markets such as Gelsons, Trader Joe's, Ralph's, and Vons, which all had lines. We always had to wear masks wherever we went, expect at home, exercising and while driving. At the beginning of the pandemic, we wore gloves used a bunch of sanitizer or rubbing alcohol and we still do. If we want to hang out with friends or anyone outside our household, we have to be outside and 6 feet apart, which is kind of a bummer. My feelings of all of this, 9 months in, is that I think that these precautions are necessary for us to be safe, but can be annoying some of the time. I think that restrictions have eased now despite the rise in cases.

Ever since Corona Virus there has been many new rules and procedures that all of us have had to follow, here are my thoughts and feelings on them. One of the biggest things we have had to do is wear a mask. I feel this is totally unnecessary and not a good rule. If anything only the sick and people who are scared should wear a mask. They are very controlling and considering how not deadly the virus is they are not needed. Social distancing makes no sense at all because they say the masks work so well, then why do we need to stay apart. An example of it not making sense is on a plane. On a plane they fill it completely with people jam packed next to each other for hours, but as soon as you are getting off you have to social distance, it makes no sense. Keeping everyone shut down is not ok. People aren't able to provide for their family because of a virus that's less harmful than the flu. The people that are scared should stay home, but not everyone because the only thing that is happening, is our immune systems are growing weaker and weaker because we are not exposed to the outside germs. They are trying too hard to make us avoid sickness and they are acting like we didn't risk our health every day before the virus.

There are a lot of changes in the world right now to make sure that everyone is safe and healthy. Some of these changes are wearing a mask when leaving your home, staying 6ft away from other people etc. One of the biggest changes is closers of some of the publics favorite places to go such as movie theaters, various restaurants, also guys and parks. These changes have made a wild impact on the way we interact with the world and other people.

Well at school we have to travel around the school in one way and if you forget something you have to go around the entire school to get it and then go back its a lot of work. Otherwise actually enjoy Covid I get to sleep and play video games all day. So to future generations when your studying covid-19 think about it from our perspective. I challenge you to think about everyone who went though what I am currently going though. So enjoy life and treat everyone how you would want to be treated.

To start, I understand that these procedures were made to try to keep people as safe as possible, but some of them just don't make sense to me. As of now we can go out of the house, we can not go to restaurants, but we can go to stores, and essential businesses. My problem is that we can go into grocery stores and stay around 3 feet apart, and not go to restaurants, the legal way. Then if you go three major cities away to Las Vegas, the rules are completely different, it is almost normal, just with masks. The problem is that people should be staying home as much as possible, but with the policing not being good enough, people are getting away with still going to parties, restaurants, and other people's houses. I also think that people are just trying to get into spotlights, everyone is trying to get to the top page of the news, it sucks. Anyway, today is inauguration for Biden, so we will see what will happen, thank you for reading my archive.

Some Covid-19 procedures the we have to follow consist of wearing a mask, stay 6 feet apart from one another, don't leave your house unless necessary. I think that the mask is a good procedure, but some masks are just too heavy and hard to breathe out of. So masks could be lighter but filtered properly. 6 feet apart makes no sense because the virus can jump from person to person farther that 6 feet. For leaving your house unless necessary is just flat out stupid because its a law to always wear a mask and social distance so why do people care if we leave our house. And they wonder why some kids are antisocial.

There are many new rules specifically for COVID-19, some seem to be good and others not so much. Some of the rules we have to follow at school are we have to always wear masks when around people, we have to be six feet apart from everyone, we have to constantly sanitize our hands and everything we touch, and we always have to eat outside. We are lucky because we get to be one of the only schools open, but it definitely is not fun having a mask on for almost 7 hours. Eating outside and always sanitizing isn't as bad, but the six feet apart rule is also very annoying.

One rule that we have to follow is to keep you mask on at all times. I feel like it is necessary but sometimes its gets a little annoying with the mask. Another rule would be 6 feet apart I think it does work. But I feel when you are 6 feet apart from someone you should be able to take off your mask only when you outside. Lastly We have to walk certain paths in school to get to class. I don't like this because some of my classes are far away from each other and it takes a long time to get there without covid. But with this new rule I have to go around the whole school and take the 7th grade stairs. This are some of the rules we have to follow and how I feel about them.

The rules and procedures are pretty simple. You have to wear a mask whenever you are in groups or gatherings and you have to stay 6 feet apart from everyone. I obey these rules and I think that they are very helpful. I think that if we do the simple things like wearing a mask and staying 6 feet we can defeat this virus. Nobody likes wearing a mask but you have to obey the rules.

The rules I have to follow to be good during school is I have to wear a mask I have to social distance and I have to wash my hands as much as I can. It is really hard wearing a mask all of the time but I get used to it.

Some of the many rules for Covid is that you have to wear masks at places. I personally think masks are bad/useless because you can't breath, they give me headaches, and they don't really help. Also, they should not be forcing people to wear them and should be glad when people are wearing them and not complain about it being over their nose. Another rule that some stores have is that they limit the number of people that can go into a store. Honestly, this is just kinda pointless and makes doing something take much longer than it needs to be. Some thing people also do is social distance and use hand sanitizer, which is gross and really bad for your hands. Overall, I think these rules are unnecessary and should not be forced.

My name is Annie Nguyen and during quarantine, I have discovered my love for painting. I soon developed a talent for painting over the months and I curated this skill using the hours freed up by the pandemic. Locked indoors, I had nothing but free time. With free time to spend, I devoted all that time to painting characters from anime series and beloved movies. At first, I would display these painting on my bed mantle. However, I would soon run out of room as I painted more! Then I thought of the genius idea to assemble them as a collage on the side of my dresser. Now as I look at these painting, I am reminded of the positive of this pandemic.

To me, I have yet seen any changes in my life due to the pandemic. Before I have always been home and the only place I would leave my house for was school. The only thing that has change is waking up early and trying to get to school on time. Since the pandemic has closed school, I just needed to wake up and join the zoom call with one click of the button. When I do go outside, I have to wear a mask and sometimes I do forget but It hasn't bothered me since the places I go are near by and it didn't take much to go back to my house. This picture is important to me as is really describes how my experience of the pandemic has been. Lazy and tired are two words that describes how I been feeling throughout this pandemic.

Covid came with a lot of goods and a lot of bad's one of the bad's being the restrictions that covid has. The worst one is probably the mask we have to wear. Don't even get mad started on the social distancing. Overall covid came with a lot of goods and bad's.

I get all the rules and how they are necessary to be healthy but the one thing that sucks the most about Covid is the masks. Image riding down to the grocery store with your friend and when you get down there the person says you can't enter without a mask. Then you have to ride all the way back to your house gat something soft to go over your face then you can go back. You get back to the store you go in and there is no more toilet paper or hand sanitizers. You walk past that weird aisle and then you get to the candy aisle, every kid's heaven. You grab your favorite candy then get in line. yo get to the line and realize that it wraps around the store. You run to the back of the line to make sure you save your spot. You grab out your phone to text your mom that your going t be late. She says yeah I get it its Covid. You chat with your friend about all the other stuff that is going on in the world like BLM and Trump not being president anymore. You finally get to the front of the line you buy the candy and head back to your house. That's covid for you my friend says.

There are so many rules and regulations we have to follow because of the covid 19 outbreak. For example, whenever we are indoors at a restaurant, a grocery store etc. We have to wear a face mask, which are supposedly keeping us from catching the virus. But it who knows if they really are doing anything, sure does not feel like it. In the state of California you can also not eat indoors, all restaurant seating as to be outside, but in LA county they have closed all restaurant seating. All stores currently have a maximum capacity for how many people they are aloud to have in the store at a time. Just for me to get in the store to get groceries or something you have to wait in line! It is really annoying. They have closed hair, and nail salons, so no one can go and get there hair or nails done! Furthermore, to go to certain vacation spots you have to be tested for corona. Like Hawaii, since I am supposed to go for this upcoming ski week, I will have to get a negative covid test before I am aloud on the plain to go to Hawaii. I cannot wait to go back to normal when we do not have all these regulations controlling our lives.

One rule we have to follow is wearing a mask. I do not mind this rule but I also do not like it. If I had a choice I would go without a mask but I wear it for everyone else safety. The mask makes it hard to breath especially when doing an activity. Another rule we have to follow is waiting outside a store because there is to many people inside already. I do not like this rule because it takes up a lot of time. Having to wait in line is so boring especially if you only need one thing from that store. Another rule is you can not go to sporting events. I love going to sporting events with my family. But because of COVID there are no fans aloud which sucks. Sports have gotten really boring on the TV. I don't really watch sports on the TV any more because its so boring. Going and seeing your favorite team in person is so much better.
