Like a lot of folks, I came back to Second Life recently due to COVID. Not being in an office was great at first (no pants anyone?) but not being able to do anything or see anyone was starting to weigh heavily on me. This idea spawned from the SL subreddit - a coworking space in game where folks could sandbox a little, and afk while working. It's a work in progress, but I'm hoping it'll be something great.
ODC - SOCIAL DISTANCING is the topic for Friday, March 13, 2020
366/2020 - 2020 Vision - Treasure Hunt #03 - March Monthly Project
The corona virus is driving some people crazy so they want us to stay home. We are lucky to not have a bunch of houses around us, and none across the street from us.
Other new words and phrases I don't like:
"Mask up! Mask up!"
"social distancing"
"flatten the curve"
"shelter-in-place"
"wash your hands 20 seconds"
"don't touch your face"
"wear your mask"
"self-quarantine"
"unprecedented"
"toilet paper shortage"
"lockdown"
"shutdown"
"zoom meeting"
"we're in this together"
"if we do nothing"
"contact tracing"
"we'll give you the information you need to keep your family safe!" (I especially hate this one!)
"get the shot"
"where's your vaccine passport?"
"separate together" Huh??
First time seeing the grand kids close up and not just on a screen or through a window.. :)
We kept our distance but it was very hard especially when they ran towards us for various reasons..
Soon hopefully we can cuddle again!!
This is a stitch of three pictures by image composite editor. That's why there are two of Bess.. She moves quickly so ended up in two shots!
I hope that there is not a next time, but if there is I hope that we are better prepared. In any case, sympathy to all who suffered.

Formerly the Louis Bourgeois studio, now the official residence of the Secretary of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of the United States.
Jean-Baptiste Louis Bourgeois (March 19, 1856 – August 20, 1930) was a Canadian architect, active in Canada and the United States.
In 1896 he came to Chicago where he worked with innovative architect Louis Sullivan. Within several years he moved to Southern California, where he designed a landmark residence in the Mission Revival style, in central Hollywood for the popular still life painter Paul de Longpré. The 1898 house at Hollywood Boulevard and Cahuenga, with an art gallery to sell de Longpré paintings and surrounded by the expansive "Le Roi de Fleur" gardens, became a tourist destination on a P.E. Redcars line. Bourgeois also taught French to de Longpré's daughters, and married one of them, Alice.
By the Winter of 1906 Bourgeois and his wife had joined the Bahá'í Faith after having "come into association with the Baha'i Faith through Marie Watson and Mary Hanford Ford," (then of the Boston Bahá'í community.) The Bahá'í teaching on the unity of religions was also important to him. When he was in New York City, Bourgeois joined the community there but then soon moved to Teaneck, New Jersey to expand the Bahá'í community there.
The Great Depression slowed down the construction of the Bahá'í Temple that began in the early 1920's. Bourgeois died in 1930 never getting to see the completed work, when it was dedicated in 1953.

With social-distancing in place, I've been out for many solitary walks thru the neighborhood and beyond.
This is a shot from one of those excursions.

The simplified health history on this 1-page application lists more than a dozen possible warning flags for one or all currently offered, FDA-approved, vaccines for Covid-19. Personal identification and contact details go on the top, signature and date on the bottom. In-between are the screening questions. Upon presenting yourself and vaccine card from initial vaccination against Covid, the person asks for preference about which arm to use for the injection and also asks for brand of vaccine preferred, since each has slightly difference history and basis. Recommendations made in October 2021 were for Moderna and Pfizer recipients to wait 6 months after initial set of vaccinations before coming back for booster (1/2 the volume of the initial injection dose). For Jansen the recommendation is to wait 2 months from (single-dose formulation) before coming back for booster dose. Both P. and M. were derived by using the mRNA (messenger RNA) route, the newest technique. Jansen used the older method of "virus vector" to create a profile for the body to activate its immune response in a safe way.
For the first few weeks of the booster campaign the priority was on health care and other high-risk populations like elderly (weaker immune response, usually) and immuno-compromised people. But with the advent of the Omicron variant late in November 2021 now the booster (and initial vaccination) campaign encourages ALL eligible people to get full vaccination, followed by booster.

am the only trans person on the frontlines in DC securing the safety and integrity of all COVID-19 tests being given out" - Elle Michelle Washington
I thank every person for their service. May is the month of Capital TransPride and I am especially thankful that every human can serve, because they are human.
And, it's good to see you alive and well.

The room marked "consultation" has two overstuffed chairs so that a person can sit with preferred injection arm away from the wall and within easy reach of the pharmacist. In some cases, people from the same home can enter the room together; all parties in face masks. The big red syringe disposal bin stands next to the waste receptacle now filled with disposable gloves, alcohol swabs, adhesive bandage wrappers, and heart-shaped "I got vaccinated" sticker backing material. Perhaps future archaeologists who unearth this layer of debris will know that a surge in public health response took place around this time in the flow of history, not only in west Michigan, but around the planet; although the distribution and making of vaccines and related injection gear is very unevenly spread around the world.

Utah, USA - May 15, 2021: Sign at a scenic overlook reminding tourists that masks are required in the National Parks and Federal Lands outdoors when social distancing cannot be maintained
Remote by Dhan Dhakal, ITC media student
Media Communication students the Institute of Technology at Syracuse Central High School worked this fall to tell stories about their lives during the pandemic using photography.
Students’ photographic stories expressed a range of subjects including: commentary on wearing masks, social distancing, remote learning, racism, mental health and what it’s like to be a teenager from Syracuse in today’s America.
This project was inspired by Bousquet Holstein’s 12th Annual Photography Contest and The Stand’s 2020 re-imagined Photo Walk — both which aimed to convey similar themes of our “new normal.”
