A woman was given a letter by her HR Department to carry around in case she was stopped. The letter declared her an essential employee. The woman compared this letter to freedom papers from the early 1800s.

En la ciudad de Cañete - Perú varios policías y militares, tuvieron que disparar al aire para dispersar a un grupo de personas que impedían el ingreso de un ataúd al cementerio General de San Vicente porque llevaban restos de una persona que falleció con corona virus. Los vecinos se opusieron al entierro por considerar el cajon como foco infeccioso. Algunos fueron llevados a la comisaría y finalmente el fallecido fue enterrado.

The week of April 6th, 2020 – April 12th, 2020 marked over 21 days of quarantine for myself. Here in Conway, South Carolina, it feels as though life has taken a hit, but not to the extension that you see in places such as California or New York. Whether it is people have been lucky here or just not enough testing to actually confirm the correct number is anybody’s guess. You can still go into a store such as Wal-Mart and find an overwhelming amount of people at any given time. Even though Governor McMaster has put on a stay at home order for all nonessential workers, it just doesn’t feel like daily life has slowed down for many. For myself, the only positive that has come from all of this are the low gas prices, as low as $1.19 in some places! One of the biggest issues that I have seen is the mental aspect of the country. The panic, the worry, the fear. Granted it is unprecedented times, but instead of calm and trying to find positive in this, all over the TV and media is negativity. In my hometown of Adams, Massachusetts, this virus is destroying them, but yet when I talk to family members, the lack of action is mind – blowing to me. My mother works for a dentist office who continues to stay open, even after her boss recently came back from a cruise. Is it ignorance or greed? I have struggled with those two topics of this whole situation. It is clear now that the measures taken at the beginning of the outbreak were not enough. Now the government handing out money to people to try and keep them afloat is their way of trying to curb public opinion. What better way to prevent an outcry of the public than to give them free money to keep their opinions to themselves? For me in this situation, the real fear in this, is my mind. As someone who has struggled the majority of my life with addiction and alcoholism, it is a crippling time in the sober community. On April 15th, it will mark my one year anniversary of being sober. These last few weeks seem to have tested me more than ever. With the social gatherings limit, that means all of the meetings I was attending every week are no longer an option. Being laid off and not being able to go anywhere, you have restless legs and a restless mind. This past week I have done hours of yard work and home maintenance just to keep my mind busy and hopefully exhaust me to the point where I just go to sleep. I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. In the last ten days, I have had to watch three friends in sobriety, go back out, and lose their lives to the disease. I know the longer that this pandemic goes on, the more friends I will have to say goodbye to and you just pray that you stay afloat. There has been good in this though, there are pop up groups that have created online meetings where you can facetime in and get to have meetings with people from all over the world. I’m not sure what this next week holds in store, but just like everyday I pray we see the light at the end of the tunnel. P.S. I miss sports desperately (this was supposed to be the Master’s tournament this weekend!).

During the coronavirus period, we're facing right now, and it's hard to get face masks. We installed some hooks to avoid family members from mixing and unnecessary waste.

An Instagram account created to support college students affected by COVID-19. Students have the option to submit posts anonymously to express how they have been affected by COVID-19.

The COVID-19 Pandemic has lasted through Easter now and of course the Last Supper reference makes sense. With the increased use of Zoom by schools, businesses, and families the post imagines the Last Supper happening over Zoom.

This meme focuses on the lack of stability felt by people everywhere. There is also a large part of internet culture that argues the amasingness of gummy vitamins over pills/chew able tablets. I am not sure where the man holding the watermelon came from. #FordhamUniversity #VART3030

Today was my dad’s 59th birthday and it was crazy that we couldn’t really celebrate. This whole Covid19 feels like a bad dream or a scary movie to be honest. It is also Easter and it is strange that we couldn’t do our typical events and Easter egg hunt for our nephews. It is so tragic turning on the news and seeing how many people have died from this terrible virus. This whole experience doesn’t even feel real at times. I feel lucky that my family is still safe, but I worry about my brother who has to work every single day surrounded by customers. I fear he will get sick or my sister in law. I am lucky that I have limited contact with people, but my job still requires me to meet others. It is scary how people have also reacted to this event and hoarded so much toilet paper and supplies. I am terrified every time I go to the grocery store to get supplies and food. There is never toilet paper or paper towels. Trying to find certain things such as meat or cheese or even eggs is close to impossible at my local grocery store. It is insane that there is not even a bottle of soap or any Lysol to purchase. I miss my nephews and I miss going to school. I am so lucky compared to so many others, but I am still terrified for the future. This feels like a scary movie or an episode of Doom’s Day Preppers.

Really the only time I leave my apartment lately. My daily runs. Oh, and walking the dog.

This is the front door of the local diner at the intersection of Main and Elm Streets in Deep River, Connecticut. Hastily-written sign on pink posterboard announces: "Closed until further notice due to the corona virus and state of CT. We will be looking into having take-out food soon."

This photograph was taken of a Libertyville, IL, public library, which is closed due to the pandemic. Across America, non-essential services such as libraries have had to shut down. The nature of the sign reflects the uncertainty of this quarantine period. By simply reading "The Library is Closed Today," this sign says little about how long it will be closed, instead directing patrons to the library website where information can be updated as circumstances change and new information is made available. #DePaulHST391

Panama to suspend licenses of drivers who violate quarantine

This photograph demonstrates the difficulties imposed on persons who need to see a doctor during the pandemic. Visiting A doctor at this time requires four entries into the doctors office. 1. Go into the office and inform them of your need for medical attention. You will receive a clipboard with a form to fill out. Then you will return to your car to fill it out. 2. After filling out your form you take it in the doctors office where you were towed to return to your car and wait for a text message. 3. Your third trip into the doctors office will be to have your temperature taken after which you will return to your car again. 4. You will receive another text message and informed whether you are allowed in the doctors office or not, if you are allowed in on your fourth trip into the office you will see a doctor.

This was a board game my family purchased 7 months ago because the idea intrigued us. Working together rather than trying to beat each other is how you play the game. It speaks to how we must handle the current crisis.

It's lemon sponge pudding. When life gives you lemons in quarantine, make pudding.
