A collection of articles, essays, poems and plays about how different authors are dealing/coping with the pandemic. Barbara Fox wrote several plays on the subject Including The Visit (a couple is reluctant to have company) QuickMeeton Zoom (a virtual dating service) and Mothers, Daughters, Friends (home schooling) and she invited other authors to contribute their plays, articles, and poems. Several responded. Stephen Olson wrote a play about a virtual office meeting, Marla Schwartz's play is about people affected by the virus. Sharon Baker, Mitchell Ball and John Harpin, Natalie Cobo , Benito Perri, Pamela O'Salem and Greg McDaniel offered advice, suggestions and feelings about everything from appreciating nature to trying new recipes to mediation, and surviving the virus, Mitchell Berkman contributed a rap, Venessa McCaffrey offered poetic tributes, Barry Katz's poems provided a little humor and Luis Roberto Herrera Summed it all up with "Cope.." Viewpoints also has lots of "mimi views", short statements like "if i'd know last March that it was the last time I would at in a esaturant, i would have ordered dessert" and "The swimming pools are open but, due to social istancing there will be no water in lanes 1,3 and 5," and many more that point out that, while the pandemic is a serious problem, there is still humor in the ways people deal with it.
