These Tweets are from an incarcerated person at San Quentin Prison in California. He is posting to social media using a contraband cell phone in an effort to let the public know what is happening inside the prison during the Coronavirus pandemic. These weeks he talks about having to choose between waiting in line for a ten minute phone call and taking a shower, the long term health effects he is realizing will be with him from his bout with Covid-19, the high number of inmates refusing to take a Covid test because if they test positive they will be placed in solitary confinement, the hole, as quarantine.

We are two London-based fashion scholars – Lorraine Smith (aka Lori) and Jana Melkumova-Reynolds – who have always been curious about how others dress, and how this relates to identity. Recent social changes (due to the coronavirus pandemic) have increased that curiosity. How are people dressing when in lockdown and isolation situations? How is this different to the way they dressed before? Has it affected their sense of self? This project aims to shine a light on those changes and reveal some of the many and varied personal stories relating to fashion and dress in 2020.

Frustrated Covid post
I'm nonessential. The Birmingham university my museum is under isn't switching to online and they still have 400+ students living on campus. Ok, so our museum has been closed to the public for almost two weeks and the university has told all employees to work from home BUT us. I'm working remotely a little bit, but all the staff were told to come in today to deep clean the museum, which is an enclosed metal room and that's like ten-plus of us in one room. We have custodial staff who have the materials and knowledge to do this properly, but...

My life for the past weeks and likely many to come, is all about how the community can support our businesses. They are taking heroic steps to slow the spread of COVID-19, knowing the crippling impact it will have on the lives of their employees as well as their business. A job is invaluable when you don't have one.

We have made adjustments as far as going out. Just small get togethers with close friends and whatnot. But our lives have been severely altered due to this pandemic. We've coped the best we can, but it's still hard to not be able to go out with friends or run to the store whenever we want. Yet even though it's hard, we all are very aware of how it could be much worse. We need to stick together as a nation and as a society now more than ever.

Despite the changing environment COVID-19 has left my business with, I have been able to adapt at an equally swift pace. As an essential business who serves the Tri-State's plastic manufactures, MAC Industrial Services has been poised to mostly maintain a sense of security; to its employees, customers and stakeholders. At times I am uncertain if we can work tomorrow. At other times we are working overtime! This is in the face of our colleagues struggling to keep afloat and the CARES Act slow process. For now, we take it day by day and are honored to be employed.

As a United States Air Force Veteran, I have found the COVID-19 quarantine and coping with all of the restrictions quite easy compared to all of the trainings and combat exposure that I have experienced during my 13-year tenure in the United States Air Force. Adjusting to change was, and still is, quite easy for me. The Air Force has prepared me for every possible crisis and I'm extremely grateful for my hard work and commitment serving my country.

This is an interview of Kiersten Camby about her experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Kiersten is a fulltime wedding planner. She lives with her fiancé and two German Shepherds in Spartanburg, South Carolina. At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, Kiersten was temporarily furloughed from her job and spent most of her time in self-isolation. Her fiancé is an officer and continued to work. Kiersten was able to return to work 3 months after being furloughed and was able to slowly return to full-time status. During her time in self-isolation, Kiersten continued to be able to see her family to enjoy dinners and at-home movie nights. Kiersten and her family have taken the precautions to remain healthy and she hopes that life will one day return to normal.

It has been 19 weeks, 133 days and 3,192 minutes since my last hair appointment. I know this because my last visit to the salon was the day that the county I live in announced shelter-in-place orders. I dropped my kids off at school and had a 9:30 a.m. appointment. I had a feeling it would be my last appointment for a while so I snapped a photo. In denial about what was to come, I confirmed my next appointment and was on my way. By 3 p.m. that day, only essential businesses were allowed to remain open in our county. I am not a vain person. But I definitely miss my hair appointment! Yes, it's because my hair looks awesome afterward. But it's more than that. I miss my stylist. We have known each other for more than a decade. He did my hair for my wedding. I was in the process of setting up a meal train for him as he was supposed to donate a kidney in June (this has been postponed). We are close and I miss him. I'm sad for his loss of business over these past 19 weeks. I am confused why some business have been allowed to re-open, with safety protocols, but his business has not been offered the same opportunity. I am worried about what the upcoming months look like for his business and for him personally. I hope that someday soon they will be allowed to safely resume business. And when they do, I'll be more than ready to see my dear friend.

According to Bay Area health officials, the only drug that is currently effective in treating COVID-19, Remdesivir, is short supply. This is incredibly concerning. While Bay Area counties are on the California state watch list, health dashboards do not indicate an outbreak. If there is already a shortage of this drug, what happens if there is indeed an outbreak? Concerns from ICU headroom and staffing have been highly publicized. But even without an outbreak, we may run out of the drug needed to effectively treat this virus. As restrictions ease up across the state, I hope people are mindful of the horrific realities that await us all if people are not abiding by the social distancing and mask mandates.

Life has felt very overwhelming lately. While reading the news today, I ran across an article titled "Five new reasons to remain hopeful, from Bay Area health experts." In need of some hope, I gave it a read. The article reminded me that while life remains challenging, there has been progress. The five new reasons to remain hopeful are: 1-we are getting closer to a vaccine, 2-treatments look more promising, 3-testing is getting easier, 4-masks are working, 5-we know more about the virus now. I am choosing to stay safe during this pandemic. And because of that choice comes a lot of personal sacrifice for our family. I hope that I can continue to stay strong and positive as I navigate this new life and world. This article was a good reminder to have faith in progress.

As I gear up to teach high school remotely this fall, many members of my community are demanding "robust" and "rigorous" curriculum with a live daily bell schedule. We have received the opportunity to train on a host of technologies. Conversations are centered around ensuring that students do not fall behind academically. For me, these topics are misguided. How can we teach students rigorous academics without first addressing their emotional well being and the state of their mental health? If we truly want students to learn this year, we need to first focus on who they are and what they need as humans. Only then can true learning occur. Numb, created by Liv McNeil - a 9th grade student in Canada, captures what many of our students are likely experiencing during the COVID-19 pandemic. I hope that global education systems can prioritize the mental well being of our students over "rigorous" and "robust" curriculum.
