We all have been affected by the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, the impact of the pandemic and its consequences are felt differently depending on our status as individuals and as members of society. While some try to adapt to working online, homeschooling their children and ordering food via Instacart, others have no choice but to be exposed to the virus while keeping society functioning. Our different social identities and the social groups we belong to determine our inclusion.
COVID-19 is killing people on a large scale. As of October 10, 2020, more than 7.7 million people across every state in the United States and its four territories had tested positive for COVID-19. According to the New York Times database, at least 213,876 people with the virus have died in the United States.1 However, these alarming numbers give us only half of the picture; a closer look at data by different social identities (such as class, gender, age, race, and medical history) shows that minorities have been disproportionally affected by the pandemic. These minorities in the United States are not having their right to health fulfilled.

Get the COVID 19mug. COVID-19 was a disease in early 2019 and throughout 2020 that killed hundreds of thousands of people. The CO stands for Corona, the VI stands for virus, the D stands for disease, and the 19 stands for 2019. The virus was released by China as a bio weapon to weaken the world economies. The virus was also used by the Democratic Party as a political weapon.

Get the COVID-19mug. Alternate definition - The number of pounds many people will gain, while sitting at home with nothing else to do, but EAT! :)
The COVID-19 hit many mums in the area, as kids were at home & there was nothing else to do but eat meals, and snack on home-baked goodies: all done to keep kids/adults occupied! :)
