This gentleman has been sighted a few times marching around Watertown, MA. He first passed my window on April 2nd and he returned on April 22nd. At first I thought that his sousaphone was decorated to be a dragon, but I later learned from a NBC Boston News story that it is a Loch Ness Monster. He plays songs like "When the Saints Go Marching In" and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." I was delighted to see him and told everyone I know about his one-man parade. It truly felt like something out of the TV show M*A*S*H.

The world has been upended by a novel coronavirus, and all we want to do is to return to normal. But how can that happen, and when?

On March 13, 2020, at 3:55PM, Catherine O'Donnell asked the question that generated Journal of a Plague Year. Within 5 minutes, Mark Tebeau & Richard Amesbury replied, and we were on zoom within 10 minutes. Within the next hour, Mark Tebeau had registered with Omeka.net and implemented the first iteration of Journal of a Plague Year, using Omeka Classic via the hosted Omeka site (at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media.). Even though we all recognized the importance of the moment, the title reveals how ephemeral she thought it might be.

Esto sucede en la selva del Perú exactamente en la ciudad de Iquitos (Región Loreto al nor oriente del Perú), que actualmente es la región que ocupa el tercer lugar en el registro de casos infectados; en el cual el principal Hospital de la región ha colapsado. Como se observa en la fotografía, los cuerpos se encuentran almacenado en la morgue del hospital y deben seguir el protocolo de manejo de cadaveres existente para pascientes de Covid19, estos deben ser embolsados herméticamente, luego desinfectados, y puestos en un ataud, para luego ser ser cremados o enterrados a la brevedad; pero lamentablemente no se puede cumplir con todo el proceso por el incremento de víctimas. En esta región se registrta 23 personas fallecidas con esta enfermedad y la atención de casos confirmados va en incremento, teniendo pendiente la confirmación de mas casos que se presumen no estan registrados y que siendo asintomaticos podrían estar contagiando a mas personas. Las camillas de la unidad de ciudados intensivos (UCI) estan al maximo de su capacidad de atención y se espera que las medidas tomadas por el gobierno como el : Aislamiento social obligatorio, toque de queda y medidas sanitarias de aislamineto puedan controlar la expanción que se ha originado en esta región; por lo cual se espera que la curva de crecimiento pueda disminuir y lograr mitigar el crecimiento de la enferemdad.

Rainy days seem to be the worst for my family. Especially on the weekend. Over the weekends my family tries to stay outside for as long as we can. But when it is raining however, that is when the cabin fever starts to kick in. We feel like we are all crammed in the house together and there is no where to go. We end up spending the day in our own corner of the house and then just come together for dinner or if we want to watch something as a family. These days are not that bad during the work week, it just makes it hard to get work done. On rainy days I just want to wrap up in a blanket and watch a movie. When the day is not all gray and rainy, my parents and I love to sit out on our back porch and play with our dog. It feels like we are getting away from the house, even though we are still at home. We talk to our neighbors and we have even made smores with the family down the street. It is the little things like that, that make quarantine a little more fun.

This is a photo taken on the highway during what is normally rush hour. Driving down a nearly empty highway, we passed lit up signs flashing information like "Avoid Non-Essential Travel" and reminders to visit the NJ website for more information on COVID-19. It was immensely eerie.

Most animal shelters are short staffed due to the virus, making it difficult to take care of all of the animals. The public can help by fostering and adopting dogs from their local animal shelters. With most of the population staying at home, it can get lonely, and what better way to cure that empty space with a furry friend! I've recently adopted a 6-week-old pitbull puppy named Ace (pictured). He's definitely made these difficult times more bearable and brightens my day up everyday. If we have to spend our days quarantined, I'm glad I'm with him.

“As the First People of this land we carry the genetic memory of the devastation pandemics cause, but in this present moment of crisis we are one tribe,” said David Sickey, Tribal Chairman of the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana. “COVID-19 does not discriminate. The virus doesn’t care what ethnicity we are or what our political ideology is. We are facing an invisible enemy that we must unite to defeat. The CoV-2 Rapid Test brings visibility to this faceless foe so that our heroes on the frontlines, the doctors, nurses and first responders, know where to take the fight and how to treat our fellow citizens who have contracted the virus. Fear is stoked by the unknown. With these tests we can reduce the fear factor for people across the United States.” #IndigenousStories
