The actual number of dead people in wuhan is a joke

Many funeral parlors open from Mar 26, to April 4 to allow people in Wuhan to collect their relatives' cremains. Most people need to wait 5 to 6 hours. The security system is very strict and taking a photo at that place is prohibited. At the mean time, many articles were published into social media, but all were deleted very soon. The actual number of dead people is unknown, and is not allowed to be known to the public. The official number of the dead people in China is 2535. However, many doctors in wuhan believed the number of dead is more than 200,000.

Storing lots of frozen food to reduce the time for going out.

As an international student, what we discussed recently is that if going home is a smart move. When the first case was found in U.S., people started to buy tons of foods, water, toilet paper,etc. I went to CVS to purchase mask to protect myself but the assistant told me that was sold out as soon as the news was reported. However, I seldom see people on the street with a mask. I saw many of international students went back home several days ago. But the way back home was not as easy as usual under this situation, they wore professional white clothes which can cover all aspects to not get the virus, and with professional glasses, N95 mask. I think the airport is dangerous so I decided not to go home.

As an international student who decided to stay in the U.S., I would like to say that at the beginning of the first case was found in the U.S., people started to crazily purchase food, vegetables, water, toilot paper,etc. When I found out that I should collect some mask for myself, I went to CVS to buy them, but the assistant told me that it was sold out as the news was reported. I was so confused that why the mask was sold out but there's no one on the street wearing a mask? I discussed about this one time with my professor, she told me that in American culture, people consider wearing a mask as have cancer. But in my culture, wearing mask is a way to not only protect myself but also good for others. As the virus spread, I saw several news about some ASIAN wearing a mask and was bullied. Things should not go like this. That's racist! My family worried about me everyday and what I can do is telling them I'm fine plz don't worry, I am staying at home and super safe. So many international students decided to go home but I don't think this is a smart move. Now, China has changed policies that they reduce the flights from other countries to China, which makes me upset. This is not a responsible decision under this situation.

As the Covid-19 virus comes closer to reaching its expected peak, more and more of New York State is shutting down. For almost everyone, the economy is the most impactful result of this virus, with many workers now out of work. My entry is going to reflect on how the Covid-19 virus is impacting students in higher education. I am currently a sophomore at Siena College in Albany, New York studying history education, but might be switching to business. During our spring break, we received an email from the interim president that our break would be extended for an additional week as the school continued to monitor the virus. A few days later, we received another email from our interim president stating that our classes would be moved online until after Easter break. SUNY schools had moved online for the remainder of the semester weeks prior and most of the private schools had also made the decision to move online were slowing following. Siena College, on the other hand, decided to wait it out as long as possible, but on Friday, March, 27th, we received the email stating Siena College would now be closed for the remainder of the semester. Typical days for students and professors now seems to be uploading assignments on Canvas, a program that we had used previously, and conducting classes online via Zoom and Google Hangout. While this type of learning is not ideal, it will have to do as we continue to hope that this pandemic comes to an end.

Shows the continuing effect of hoarding in the US

Before everything happened in the United States, as an international student from China, I have been searching for helpful tips for my family suffering this disaster back in China. And at that time, I would not imagine this virus spreading across the Atlantic and starting affecting everyone around the globe. One early morning, my father called me through WeChat and urged me to purchase masks, gloves, and all possible hygiene products and buy as much storable foods as possible, because, he said "the virus is spreading across the United States, and you have to be prepared". I was not taken his words seriously at first, but as he sent over more and more messages, I started buying stuff little by little from the local grocery stores, and as I realize my absurd hoarding, the COVID-19 erupted. As my friends were laughing at my over-nervousness and me feeling confused and embarrassed for the seemingly unnecessary over-reacting, more and more people were tested positive, and the price for all necessary goods skyrockets. As people in the United States started buying stuff and lining up in front of the local markets, more heartbreaking stories were reported such as "woman in domestic violence were threatened to be thrown out once they cough", and "homeless man could not purchase any food". The violence under the violence is what scared me and made me panic. I have given away much foods and products I have hoarded to take care of others, and hopefully we all can live through this crisis peacefully and stay healthy.

There I was, at the grocery store. As I approached the checkout line, I waited, to let the man ahead of me have some space. As he paid I put my groceries on the conveyor, figuring the space between us was more than sufficient. He looked at me and asked, “a little close, aren’t you?” I thought I was sufficiently distant. I said, “ excuse me.” In a perturbed voice, he asked, “Did you see the sign?” What sign? I wondered? I decided to step back and as I stepped back, I looked for the sign. There it was. So, I snapped this picture as he finished. He left. I checked out. As I left the store, I noticed that same guy laughing and joking with his buddies. Not two feet from each other. I laughed to myself. So much for social distancing.

Nurses/ health care providers are given 1 mask per shift to use for the entire 12 hours (sometimes 1 per pt and other hospitals 1 masks for their entire patient load). After we use the mask we place it in out brown bag to reuse- it is being done all across the country. It’s crazy really for healthcare providers to wrap their heads around- we never re-use ppe because of risk of contaminating yourself. But we have no choice. You do it like this now to make your supplies last. *Annie R. (NP) and Jillian Decker #HIST521
