Outdoor Game to Play Indoors

By: Carmine Fusaro Everyone is taking precautions by staying indoors because of COVID-19, and when it is necessary to leave the house we wear protective masks, unlike the avatars in Animal Crossing. What is everybody doing while being Quarantined? One of the few activities to pass time is to play games.

Quarantined

(Poem) By Jose Yrizarry Feels weird it seems! Mind blowing it is! The Social Masks now Mandatory Made Surgical gloves and homemade masks pulling ears so far forward People! Animated Disney Dumbo’s turned to roam the streets Bank robbers! Terrorists! The Lone Ranger resurrected! Walking into stores like bandits robbing – hoarding – charming toilet paper victimized People stampeding to get and get. Lions tigers and bears oh my! Justified paranoia gone crazy. The climbing human

Quarantine #3 -- Hold On

(Poetry) By Jose Yrizarry Sitting at the window looking out… where once was … now Scattered signs of life … Not much more … and yet So much time to now start thinking Wandering … remembering … contemplating … What will come of yesterday … the hustle and bustle What will come of tomorrow … the fallout aftermath What will come of today … hopes and dreams … splintered and dashed Ever quarantined? … mind body soul? Hugs and handshakes gone! Indefinitely postponed! Say nay! Say na

Chipotle Pays Up Front

By Carmine Fusaro (Opinion) Before Coronavirus started to take a hit on many businesses, Chipotle was already in trouble, agreeing to pay a $25 million criminal settlement related to outbreaks of Norovirus among people who ate in its restaurants, according to many media reports. Now, Chipotle really has to earn people’s trust back. Nobody wants tainted food when they get off work, rather they want to enjoy fresh food that’s made carefully. Over 1,100 people in multiple states

Do They Really Care?

By Tetiana Kolodii COVID-19 is still out there and does not seem to be going away any time soon. It's the new realty. This disastrous virus keeps turning people’s lives upside down.

Hyper-Partisanship during the Coronavirus Crisis

By Steven S. Berizzi Will hyper-partisanship, the tendency of the major parties to polarize toward the outer limits of mainstream politics, increase or decrease during the coronavirus crisis? A multi-dimension emergency calls for national unity, but history suggests that the stress of crisis often makes partisan politics worse. Bitter partisan conflict has recurred in United States political history since the original parties emerged in the 1790s. The first two-party system w

Every day new inventions are developed in the areas of education, business, medicine etc. It looks like we have progressed to an elite level and are able to live peaceful and comfortable lives.

No Shutdown Nor Quarantine Stops Creative Plans

By Carmine Fusaro It's been less than a month since I've been in quarantine because of COVID-19. But the situation hasn't stopped me from doing chores around the house. There's always stuff to do even in normal times with no coronavirus. There's the backyard of my parents’ house that needs cleaning. But even in quarantine, I have no time. This is not because there aren't eight days a week. It is because I love being creative. There are choices to make. Some depend on the weat
