Food and masks are falling short, Using Zoom is like a sport. We’re all home lacking chivalry, All our food is from delivery. I have a basement full of food, It really is all very crude. We just stay at home and read, Gina Raimondo is taking a great lead. Online school feels like the end, Can’t talk to even a single friend. My birthday is coming up soon, Though I doubt I'll see a single balloon. Can’t get together with family, It really is all such a tragedy. Location Where was this item created?

As the days go on there's not much to do, We try to pass time playing board games like clue, The air outside has become filled with despair, But we are coming together and treating others with care. It is a struggle keeping focus on distance learning, The school I dreaded is now the place I’m yearning, It is hard to manage school and home life, I hate the coronavirus and how it has spread so rife. We give thanks to medical workers, doctors, and nurses, They have stayed in the fight as the pandemic worsens, We also shout out the essential workers like cashiers, They have shown us perseverance and having no fears. There is hope in the future that it will end, But all we can do is hope COVID-19 won’t be a trend, When this is over I hope humanity will be closer, We will be united standing shoulder by shoulder.

Society is timid, Because the coronavirus is being transmitted, New York city is shut down, But Donald Trump is still around. Hand sanitizer is the only thing that can save us, So now we are all making a fuss, Parties and activities are done, Because COVID 19 is deadly for anyone over 61. School is weird, But when I left the school I cheered, Everyone is wearing masks and gloves, Unless they are at home, where you can give your family hugs. When the coronavirus is here, We have to make sure no one is near, And although I do not like solitary confinement, I am happy it is good for the climate! Location Where was this item created?

For the past several weeks, I've mostly only seen birds flying past and people walking or jogging along the road below. But as the restrictions are easing, I'm seeing more car traffic back on the road as of this morning.

My husband is immunocompromised following a kidney transplant, so it was clear to me from the very beginning that I wasn't going to any grocery stores, ever. I had to find ways to get all the food for my family of four delivered or ordered online. At the beginning, I struggled through waiting long weeks for Instacart deliveries, and hours searching websites of big box stores that seemed to be out of everything we needed (no pasta? no rice? no flour?). At some point a neighbor told me about Munroe Dairy, a local milk & grocery delivery service, but they were not accepting new customers and only had an option to join their waitlist. Through hours of searching, I discovered the life-saving WhatsGood app. This service compiles several local farms, lets you place one order, and delivers the food directly to your doorstep. I couldn't believe it! After waiting weeks for Instacart or online orders to arrive (often with incorrect contents), WhatsGood literally came the next day and brought delicious local food. In addition to produce from local farms (bags of apples from the orchard! beautiful fresh kale!), I've ordered local beef, chicken, seafood and regional products like Cabot cheese through WhatsGood as well - reasonably priced, trustworthy and delicious. We had already been receiving Misfits Market produce, but now it became a vital resource: opening the box like a wondrous treasure chest. Misfits sources organic produce that has been rejected from grocery stores for cosmetic reasons, so consumers get a big discount, there's nothing wrong with the produce (sometimes a carrot is too big or too small?), and you're preventing food waste since otherwise, the products would be thrown away. We ended up doubling our order. For staples like tuna, beans and peanut butter (and okay, chocolate), we turned to Thrive Market, an online wholesaler of discount, Whole Food-ish healthy brands. And then, heaven-sent, I received a call from Munroe Dairy: they were accepting us as a customer! Since then, we've received a weekly delivery from Munroe. Not only their luscious fresh milk in gorgeous, heavy glass bottles, but butter, cheese, eggs, produce, meat and, yes, ice cream. My kids so look forward to the Munroe delivery (we've yet to find a gender-neutral alternative for the milkman) that they literally cheer when the "cow truck" pulls up. So now we're in a pretty good sourcing groove with WhatsGood, Munroe Dairy, Misfits Market and Thrive Market. We've even managed home delivery of beautiful fresh fish from RI commercial fishing boats, like the Narragansett Lobster Co, who are now delivering straight to consumers (try their clam chowder!). Before the lockdown, having enough food in the house was challenging enough, with a husband and two boys who tended to eat dinner before soccer practice AND dinner after soccer practice. We generally managed to squeeze in a trip to Trader Joe's on a weekend, with frequent desperate after-work dashes into our local Dave's Market (which my husband maintained would cost $80 even if you were determined to only get three things). Truth be told, most "where is this field?" soccer games in random Massachusetts suburbs ended with the cure for all starving children, Dunkin egg and cheese bagels (and you know Mommy deserves an iced coffee). Whenever this moment ends and we can grocery shop again without terror, I will continue our new focus on hyper-local sources of food. The Rhode Island farms, fishing boats and dairies have been more reliable, more delicious, and more ethically gratifying than any chain store. When I mentioned to my 87-year-old dad that I now have a milkman, he told me a story about his younger brother hopping in a milk truck and driving down the street in the 1940s, and laughed and laughed. I can't imagine a story about Walmart would have been as funny, or as touching. Location Where was this item created? East Greenwich, RI Language What language is it in?
