LIVING WITH A COVID-19
I have never been the type to share my thoughts, or surface stories of things I have experienced in my life, on any social media platform. Due to public scrutiny, and fears of being judged. I was apprehensive in voicing my opinions and expressing myself. But this time around is different; a pandemic was lighting up the world and has hit closer to home than expected. My father had fallen victim to COVID-19, and it has flipped my world upside down. So I feel it is imperative to share my emotions and thoughts on this, for the world to continue to have faith in humanity. Therefore, I am voicing out hope and faith to those with no voice, and for those at this time that feel defeated. I hope my story finds you, and gives you perspective and the strength to keep fighting at your weakest moments, and embrace and always cherish family, life and gratitude.

The Spanish Flu in Alaska
As the first case of coronavirus has been confirmed in Alaska, bringing with it fear of a Black Plague, people forget that this isn’t anything new. There have already been mad rushes to buy off all the toilet paper and face masks, fear of Chinese restaurants and businesses, and daily checking of the virus’ death toll. Gov. Mike Dunleavy has declared a state of emergency. This reaction is not without reason, especially in Alaska where the 1918 influenza took such a heavy toll.

The Coronavirus Lockdown is Changing Trends in Population Level Psychology
I'm a fan of using whatever tools we have available for collecting data, especially when the methods don't reveal any personal information of individuals. When I first started writing about the potential effects of the coronavirus lockdown and social distancing efforts, I took a look at some Google Search trends, focusing on the United States, in part because that's where I am, and also because that's where we're seeing a lot of new cases.

Warning: Fake Coronavirus Information Being Spread
While looking through my Facebook posts, I was disappointed to see, though not entirely surprised to see, a significant piece of misinformation surrounding COVID-19. The information supposedly came from Johns Hopkins, but I cannot imagine that such gross misinformation would come from there.

The Ultimate Game of Cosmic Hide-and-Seek | Thoughts on the Mind, Facing Fear, Role-Playing, and "Interior" Design
A muse blew in on the soft wings of summer, and the girl at the mailbox taken back to her native nexus. Engulfed in the swells of poetic and scientific contemplation, she opened to the universe meditating on the nature of reality, human knowledge, and how she fits into this transcendent weft of life and, with a hand full of letters and bills, wondered how she might come to love the unknowing of it all.
