COVID-19 photo essay: We’re all in this together

About the author, department of global communications.

The United Nations Department of Global Communications (DGC) promotes global awareness and understanding of the work of the United Nations.

23 June 2020 – The COVID-19 pandemic has  demonstrated the interconnected nature of our world – and that no one is safe until everyone is safe.  Only by acting in solidarity can communities save lives and overcome the devastating socio-economic impacts of the virus.  In partnership with the United Nations, people around the world are showing acts of humanity, inspiring hope for a better future. 

Everyone can do something

Creating hope

Venezuelan refugee Juan Batista Ramos, 69, plays guitar in front of a mural he painted at the Tancredo Neves temporary shelter in Boa Vista, Brazil to help lift COVID-19 quarantine blues.  “Now, everywhere you look you will see a landscape to remind us that there is beauty in the world,” he says.  Ramos is among the many artists around the world using the power of culture to inspire hope and solidarity during the pandemic.  Photo: UNHCR/Allana Ferreira

Inclusive solutions

Keep future leaders learning

A mother helps her daughter Ange, 8, take classes on television at home in Man, Côte d'Ivoire.  Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, caregivers and educators have responded in stride and have been instrumental in finding ways to keep children learning.  In Côte d'Ivoire, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) partnered with the Ministry of Education on a ‘school at home’ initiative, which includes taping lessons to be aired on national TV and radio.  Ange says: “I like to study at home.  My mum is a teacher and helps me a lot.  Of course, I miss my friends, but I can sleep a bit longer in the morning.  Later I want to become a lawyer or judge."  Photo: UNICEF/UNI320749

Global solidarity

A new way of working

Henri Abued Manzano, a tour guide at the United Nations Information Service (UNIS) in Vienna, speaks from his apartment.  COVID-19 upended the way people work, but they can be creative while in quarantine.  “We quickly decided that if visitors can’t come to us, we will have to come to them,” says Johanna Kleinert, Chief of the UNIS Visitors Service in Vienna.  Photo courtesy of Kevin Kühn

Life goes on

Hundreds of millions of babies are expected to be born during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Fionn, son of Chloe O'Doherty and her husband Patrick, is among them.  The couple says: “It's all over.  We did it.  Brought life into the world at a time when everything is so uncertain.  The relief and love are palpable.  Nothing else matters.”  Photo: UNICEF/UNI321984/Bopape

Putting meals on the table

Sudanese refugee Halima, in Tripoli, Libya, says food assistance is making her life better.  COVID-19 is exacerbating the existing hunger crisis.  Globally, 6 million more people could be pushed into extreme poverty unless the international community acts now.  United Nations aid agencies are appealing for more funding to reach vulnerable populations.  Photo: UNHCR

S7-Episode 2: Bringing Health to the World

“You see, we're not doing this work to make ourselves feel better. That sort of conventional notion of what a do-gooder is. We're doing this work because we are totally convinced that it's not necessary in today's wealthy world for so many people to be experiencing discomfort, for so many people to be experiencing hardship, for so many people to have their lives and their livelihoods imperiled.”

Dr. David Nabarro has dedicated his life to global health. After a long career that’s taken him from the horrors of war torn Iraq, to the devastating aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami, he is still spurred to action by the tremendous inequalities in global access to medical care.

“The thing that keeps me awake most at night is the rampant inequities in our world…We see an awful lot of needless suffering.”

:: David Nabarro interviewed by Melissa Fleming

Brazilian ballet pirouettes during pandemic

It counts 250 children and teenagers from the favela as its performers. The ballet group provides social support in a community where poverty, hunger and teen pregnancy are constant issues.

A new reality: As news of the spread of COVID-19 became more prevalent, students began practicing social distancing and other safety precautions in the classroom. In late March, campus was closed to comply with Oregon’s “Stay Home, Save Lives” mandate.

Sign of the times: A traffic sign on highway 99W reminds drivers coming into Newberg to avoid large group gatherings.

Strength in community: While campus was closed, the Bruin Community Pantry food bank remained open, with enhanced safety protocols, to ensure that no George Fox student went hungry.

Social distancing: A student sits alone in the university’s outdoor amphitheater. As students moved home to begin remote learning, sights like this around campus became much more common.

Meeting of the minds: The university leadership team, including President Robin Baker, connects via Zoom to discuss how best to care for students in a remote learning environment.

Deep cleaning: A Jani-King employee disinfects one of the residence hall bathrooms.

Home/work: English professor Jessica Ann Hughes leads class from a makeshift home office.

Virtual classroom: Biblical studies professor Brian Doak finds a creative way to engage with students.

Signs of hope: George Fox alumna Jessica (Lavarias) Brittell (’06), co-owner of MOB Signs, created this display outside the Providence Newberg Medical Center to show appreciation for doctors and nurses on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The university that prays together… Jake Thiessen and Moses Hooper from the marketing communications department pray before a virtual meeting.

Pictures piece together a year into the COVID-19 pandemic.

A year has passed since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March, 11, 2020. A virus not visible to the human eye has left its mark in every corner of the world. No single image can define the loss and heartache of millions of global citizens, but photojournalists were there to document the times as best they could. From the exhaustion on the faces of frontline medical workers to vacant streets once bustling with life, here is a look back at photo essays published by U.S. News photo editors from the past year. When seen collectively, these galleries stitch together a year unlike any other.

In January of 2020, empty streets, protective masks and makeshift hospital beds became the new normal in Wuhan, a metropolis usually bustling with more people than New York City. Chinese authorities suspended flights, trains and public transportation, preventing locals from leaving the area, and placing a city of 11 million people under lockdown. The mass quarantine invokes surreal scenes and a grim forecast.

Photojournalist Krisanne Johnson documented New Yorkers in early March of 2020, during moments of isolation as a climate of uncertainty and tension hung over the city that never sleeps.

In May 2020, of the 10 counties with the highest death rates per capita in America, half were in rural southwest Georgia, where there are no packed apartment buildings or subways. And where you could see ambulances rushing along country roads, just fields and farms in either direction, carrying COVID-19 patients to the nearest hospital, which for some is an hour away.

Photo Essay Captures How COVID-19 Has Transformed BU

Images document the subtle—and not so subtle—ways the pandemic has altered campus

Bu today staff.

From the moment the University announced that starting March 16 it was moving to remote teaching and learning for the rest of the spring semester, then shuttered residences for most students as of March 22, BU campuses took on a startlingly different look, transformed overnight from bustling metropolises to a series of largely empty interior and exterior landscapes. 

Staff photojournalists Cydney Scott and Jackie Ricciardi have continued to photograph the campuses since the pandemic caused the city of Boston to limit the normal operations of businesses, even as most students have returned home and most faculty and staff are working remotely.

“As a photographer for BU Today, the biggest danger I usually face at work is whether or not I’ll squeeze into a spot on the BU shuttle on my way to an assignment on a rainy day,” Scott says. “Photographing Comm Ave during the midst of a pandemic brings risks of a different, more frightening order.” The two maintain a safe social distance when shooting their subjects—which brings new challenges. “Where I would typically move around during a shoot, being a ‘fly on the wall,’ my movement now is largely limited,” she says.

“Photographing during the pandemic has been a struggle for me,” says Ricciardi. “As a photojournalist, my goal is to capture human connection, and I wonder how I can do that successfully when the streets are empty and we’re told we must stay away from people…yet one of the most significant  events in history is happening in my lifetime and it’s my responsibility to try and capture that.”

Their images will serve to chronicle this moment in history for years to come.

Photojournalism Course Documenting COVID-19

At the end of the semester, SMAD’s photojournalism course usually culminates with each student producing a final portfolio that covers a range of assignments that they would encounter as professional journalists, from sports, to public meetings to portrait shots. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic JMU’s classes moved online and all of the assigned events the students were scheduled to photograph were canceled.

As a way to adapt and change the curriculum for the online environment SMAD’s photojournalism students were tasked with the project of producing a photo essay documenting some aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the cancellation of in-person classes the students have been working on their photo essays while quarantined at home with family or roommates.

A photo essay addresses a topic or story through photographs where a viewer sees how a photojournalist conveys a message. Typically, these stories focus on the lives of others, but under stay-at-home orders and to prevent any unnecessary health risks, students were permitted to document their own experiences.

Each student submitted six photos along with a layout of their photo essay in a newspaper page format. A short paragraph helps to set the scene for the viewer and captions provide further detail for each photo. From photographing self-isolation within off-campus housing to documenting the changing landscapes of hometowns to taking a look into why students decided to stay in Harrisonburg, yielding a range of topics both unique and insightful.

These photos and stories will become a visual record of this global pandemic and give viewers a chance to see how a group of JMU juniors and seniors have adapted, adjusted and achieved a meaningful end to a surreal semester.

Faces of the Pandemic is an ongoing portrait photography project documenting the experiences of essential health care workers throughout the pandemic—an unprecedented time for Yale’s medical community, the nation, and the world. It is meant to show appreciation for these individuals and provide a platform for them to share their stories.

Representing a variety of roles at Yale School of Medicine and Yale New Haven Hospital, each participant is photographed wearing their typical work attire, including PPE. Formal portraits display respect for the subjects while candids capture their range of emotions. The photos have been minimally edited to maintain a documentary feel.

Each participant answered five questions to catalogue their experience of the pandemic. For Yale Medicine Magazine we’ve chosen to highlight a common thread: The pandemic has…

Mga kuwento tungkol sa COVID-19: Sinusubukan ng 72 taong gulang mahalagang manggagawa manatiling malusog habang nag-aalaga ng iba

“Parati akong naka-maskara sa trabaho. Tinatanggal ko lang ito kapag natutulog ako.”

Bago ang COVID-19 pandemya, parating nagtatrabaho si Lilia Antazo. Lumipat sa Estados Unidos ang 72 taong gulang Pilipinang dayuhan kasama ang kanyang asawa at pinaka batang anak noong 2001. Simula noon, nagtatrabaho siya bilang isang pribadong tagapag-alaga.

Nagluluto ng pagkain, naglilinis ng bahay at namimili siya para sa mga pasyente niya. Binibigyan niya sila ng gamot at inaalagaan niya sila na parang sarili niyang nanay, ayon kay Antazo. Pero nagbago ang lahat dahil sa coronavirus. 

Kinuwento ni Antazo sa Borderless Magazine ang buhay niya sa gitna ng COVID-19 pandemya.

Lagi akong nakamaskara sa trabaho. Tinatanggal ko lang ito tuwing natutulog ako.

Nakakabagot sa trabaho. Nakakabagot at nakakatakot. Nakakatakot dahil kapag sumasakay ako ng bus o tren papunta sa trabaho, iniisip ko, “Paano kung magkasakit ako?” Sobrang takot ako dahil may hika ako. Maingat talaga ako sa lahat.

How a Femme Liberation Collective is Practicing Community Care

Ngayon, bakante ang iskedyul ko. Dati-rati, dalawa ang pasyente ko pero dahil sa COVID-19 tinatanggihan ko na ang trabaho. Marami pa rin nag-aalok ng trabaho pero umaayaw na ako. Natatakot akong bumiyahe at makihalubilo sa mga tao.

Isang pasyente lang sa North Side ang inaalagaan ko tuwing Sabado at Linggo.

Medyo mas bata sa akin yung pasyente ko. Matigas ang ulo niya. Kalmado lang ako. Nagumpisa akong magtrabaho doon nung Agosto pagkalabas niya ng ospital. Naglilinis ako ng kusina at banyo niya, nagbabakyum, nagpapaspas, at nagdidilig ang halaman niya.

Pagdating ko sa bahay niya, pinapainom ko siya ng gamot, naghahanda ng almusal, naghuhugas ng plato, nagpapalit ng bedding at naglilinis. Inaayos ko ang buhok niya pagkatapos niya maligo. Lalabas ako at bibili ng mga kailangan niya, katulad ng gamot at pagkain. Minsan nag-oorder kami ng pagkain at minsan nagluluto ako. Wala akong reklamo, okay siya.

Gusto ng pamilya ko tumigil ako sa pagtatrabaho. Pero kailangan maintindihan nila na hindi ko kailangan tumigil.

Kaya ko alagaan ang mga gumaling na sa coronavirus. Bakit hindi? Kaya kong protektahan ang sarili ko. Nars yung anak ko at nagkaroon siya ng COVID-19.

Ipinagluto ko siya, tinupi ang damit niya, lahat. May sarili siyang banyo at hindi namin hinawakan ang pinto niya. Nag-alala ako pero palaban siya.

Sinabi niya sa akin, “Mabuti kung alagaan ako ng pamilya ko dahil wala akong tiwala sa ibang tao.” Kaya inalagaan ko siya, at ngayon okay na siya.

Importante ngayon ang lahat ng frontline na manggagawa. Gusto ko makatulong sa mga nangangailangan.

Sa lahat ng mga tagapag-alaga, sana hindi lang kayo nagtatrabaho para sa pera. Pagbutihin ninyo ang trabaho ninyo. Pagbutihin ninyo ang trabaho ninyo at maging maalalahanin at tapat. Sana maging mapayapa na ang lahat at matapos ang pandemya.

Marami akong pamangkin na nag-alok na mag-alaga sa akin kapag tumanda ako dahil ako ang nagpa-aral sa kanila. Sa tingin ko, lima silang nagtapos at nagtatrabaho na. Nars yung isa. Yung isa, manager, at yung isa may sariling negosyo.

Tinatawag ko silang mga iskolar ko. Nasa Pilipinas sila. Kapag tumanda ako, uuwi ako sa Pilipinas. Pero sabi ng anak ko dito sa Amerika, dapat manatili ako dito at aalagaan niya ako.

Ganon din ang sinasabi ng anak ko sa Pilipinas. Yung anak kong pastor, aalagaan din daw ako. Wala akong problema kapag tumanda ako.

Tuloy pa rin ang trabaho hangga’t malakas ako. Kaya ko pa tumakbo. Kaya ko pa gumalaw. Kaya ko pa magtanim ng bulaklak sa hardin ko. Kaya ko pa gawin ang lahat. Salamat sa Diyos dahil binigyan niya ako ng malusog na katawan. Wala na akong hinihiling. Hindi ko hangad ang pera. Kalusugan lang.

Kinuwento ni Lilia Antazo ito kay Pat Nabong. Tumulong sa pag-uulat si Michelle Kanaar.

Sanaysay Tungkol Sa COVID-19 – Maikling Sanaysay Ukol Sa Pandemya

Halimbawa ng sanaysay tungkol sa covid-19.

SANAYSAY TUNGKOL SA COVID-19 – Sa panahong ito, milyun-milyong Pilipino ang naapektuhan ng pandemyag COVID-19.

Sa paksang ito, magbibigay kami ng maikling sanaysay tungkol sa pandemya at sa mga katotohanang ipinakita nito sa ating mga kababayan.

Pandemya, Ang Masakit na Katotohanan

Pagdating ng balita tungkol sa COVID-19, hindi natin sineryoso. Pinapasok ang mga dayuhan kahit na ito’y delikado. Pinagtawanan natin ginawa lamang na balita, sinabihang kumain tayo ng saging at palakasin lamang ang resistensiya.

Ngunit hindi ito naging sapat at padami lamang ng padami ang mga kaso nito sa Pilipinas. Subalit, sinasabihan pa rin ang publiko na kontrolado ang sitwasyon at walang kailangang ikatakot.

Iyon naman ay maiitindihan, ayaw natin ng kaguluhan. Magdudulot lamang ito ng karagdagang problema sa ating lipunan. Pero sana naman ay binigyang pansin ang tawag ng mga experto tungkol sa sakit.

Ang katotohanan ay hindi tayo handa. Ang katotohanan ay hindi sapat ang ating ginawa para mapigilan ang pagdaragsa ng sakit buong Pilipinas na ang nakakaranas. Masakit mang isipin pero sa kasalukuyang panahon wala nang makakatakas.

Eto ang katotohanan na dapat nating intindihin. Dapat nating pag-aralan at dapat nating seryosohin. Mga doktor, nurse, at mga tauhang medical, araw araw ang sakripisyo para lamang sa atin.

Pero ang masakit na katotohanan ay ang karamihan sa kanila ay napabayaan. Marami na ang namatay, pero hanggang ngayun, hustisya pa rin ay ipinaglalaban.

Masakit nga ang katotohanan, pero paano tayo makakatulong? Iyon dapat ang tanong natin sa ating sarili. Hindi bakuna ang dapat hanapin kundi tamang sistema. Dahil pag may tamang sistema susunod na ng mabilisan ang disiplina.

Masakit man ang katotohanan pero mahirap nang ibalik ang dati nating buhay. Subalit kailangan nating magkaisa para malabanan ang pandemya.
