Seattle park sign, "Crowded Parks Lead to Closed Parks," 2020

One unfortunate oversight on this particular sign is the incorrect spelling of "excercise."1 Sign, Instructional; Materials: plastic; Dimensions: 18 in.H x 24 in.W x .25 in.

Pandemic in Her Baby Sling: The Iranian American Women's Story of Migration Traumas and Labor Hardship During 2020's COVID-19 Pandemic
No full textSince COVID-19 started to become a global pandemic, it has caused personal and public traumas. Increase in unemployment rate, bankruptcy of small businesses, financial stress to the middle and working-class and the closure of many businesses which relied on people’s social activities, including the gig industry, tourism industry and restaurants, are additional traumas to the issues of health and life threats people face by the contingency of the virus. By the end of May 2020, more than 2 million Americans were confirmed COVID-19 positive, 113 thousand of whom could not survive. Amongst the most affected populations, the people of color, especially Black Americans and immigrants have been suffering most. This research focuses on immigrant working women from the Middle East, whose life journeys are filled in with several traumas, some intensified during the pandemic. This paper provides two oral history records of two Iranian American working mothers, Aida Mohajer and Mrs. Ebrahimi, who carry historical traumas experienced in two different countries with two different cultures, i.e. Iran, and the USA. The interviewees’ stories show how the experience of trauma is related to the social class and what imposed social factors beyond choice can determine the class and different approaches to traumas

Conor Byrne Pub boarded up during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, 5140 Ballard Ave. N.W., Seattle, April 5, 2020
No full textPH Coll 1621.KinseyK65The first confirmed case of the global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the United States was announced by the Washington State Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on January 21, 2020. The patient had recently returned from Wuhan, China, on January 15, 2020, where a pneumonia outbreak caused by the coronavirus started in December 2019.
This case marked the beginning of the coronavirus Covid-19 outbreak in Washington State and the beginning of a radical change in the lives of the citizens of Washington and the rest of the United States. The virus rapidly spread through the population so that within a month, businesses were closed and boarded up, unemployment soared to record highs as people lost their jobs overnight, schools and public events were canceled. People began stocking up on toilet paper, hand sanitizer and other products leaving grocery store shelves bare of some products. By March 23rd, Governor Jay Inslee directed Washington residents to stay home by executive order with exceptions for essential critical infrastructure workers. Until mid-March, Washington State had the highest number of confirmed cases and the highest number per capita of any state in the country, when it was surpassed by New York State as the virus spread throughout the country
