Before the arrival of Europeans in the Americans in the late 15th century, the Pokanoket people lived in a relatively disease-free environment.Starting in 1616, those same people began to suffer from a series of pandemics that wiped out up to 90% of their numbers. So, how did these infectious diseases first come to New England in the 17th century and what was their effect on both Pokanokets and Pilgrims? This fifteen minute video presentation reviews the worldwide history of pandemics an their effects on shaping 17th century history in New England.

As an introvert, I have greatly (almost guiltily) enjoyed the quiet, the staying in and having everybody else staying in, too—the corridors empty, no chatter, no ambush when going down the hall to get the mail or empty the trash—hardly any traffic on the roads the few times I went out to pick up my groceries...  I am sure it is harder on extroverts, though maybe some have taken this chance to discover they have an inner life, full of potential riches, the din of the world having been silenced for a while. As you say, strange times indeed. Terribly tragic times for so many. Listening to the various governors' news briefs now is like listening to the evening news during Viet Nam—so many infected today, so many in the ICU, so many deaths. Already far more than we lost in Viet Nam—and yet—maybe because I don't look for it—I don't hear much of a hue and cry—not enough for the situation at least. Eighty-five thousand Americans DEAD—and that’s only so far! I vividly recall we would sit in front of the TV every evening, cringing in horrified anticipation, watching the news report of the day’s body count. It was our friends, brothers and sweethearts being sent to the slaughter at that time. I can still feel the pain in the heart, watching the images of body bags and hearing the soul-wrenching numbers. And that was a situation both created by and stoppable by human beings. Yet the slaughter went on and on, insanely, unforgivably. Now in this Covid situation we get data. Every day in the governors’ news briefs, “Today’s numbers are: 650 new positive cases, 400 hospitalized, 100 in the ICU, 75 on ventilators, 85 new deaths…” Numbers, with no human faces. Bodies, not souls. Why don’t they include a look at some of those people trying to breathe in the ICU? There are videos popping up on Youtube made by patients with their phones, gasping out their stories and warning people to “take this thing seriously”—and some are quite young. Maybe the people who don’t deign to protect the rest of us by wearing face coverings would wake up if they saw the human beings behind the numbers on their screens. _____________ Corona Virus Journal for RI Historical Society Covid-19 Archives Journal #3 The Human Beings Behind the Numbers —Lfj Gill Location Where was this item created?

COVID-19 JOURNAL #5 NOT POLITICAL “We’re trying to give you the very best advice we can, and it is going to be changing goal posts…. I don’t set the goal posts. The virus sets the goal posts. As we see things change, our guidance is going to change.” —Governor Raimondo (News brief 5/15/2020) Covid-19 is not political. Not even bi-partisan. It is a mindless, soulless, non-human pathogen transmitted from human to human by breath (talk, sneeze, cough, laugh)—whether or not the infected person has symptoms—and which to date has sickened 1.4 million Americans and sent 86,000 through horrible suffering to death. As state and federal governments attempt to mitigate its effects and prevent further disaster, the limitations of their (or anyone’s) control are increasingly obvious, and the political maneuverings of some in government increasingly horrifying. I, for one, am deeply grateful for a governor, health department, and congressional delegation who do their utmost to utilize the best advice of epidemiologists and infectious disease experts as they work to protect and serve us, the people in Rhode Island. Some informative notes on viruses I found today while attempting to learn more about what we are dealing with: “A virus is a microscopic organism that can replicate only inside the cells of a host organism…. Viruses infect all types of organisms, including animals and plants, as well as bacteria and archaea. “Viruses are microscopic parasites responsible for a host of familiar – and often fatal – diseases, including the flu, Ebola, measles and HIV. They are made up of DNA or RNA encapsulated in a protein shell and can only survive and replicate inside a living host, which could be any organism on earth. This means no life form is safe from infection by a virus. “Ultimately, science may never agree on whether viruses are alive or not. E. Rybicki described them as being “at the edge of life” – for now, this may be the closest we will get to an answer.” ________________ 1 CDC https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html 2 Encyclopedia of Life —www.eol.org Nb: Scientists still argue whether to call a virus an “organism”, since that term implies life.

Welcome to the DLS COVID-19 time capsule archive where you can take a journey back in time to the year 2020 when everyone’s lives were turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic. Learn about how De La Salle 6th and 8th grade students adapted to quarantine and distance learning. As part of their social studies classes, students were asked to share what they did while stuck at home including taking classes via Zoom (a video conferencing program), pursuing new and old hobbies, staying connected with friends, and spending WAY more time with their families than ever before. They were able to share these videos and slideshows with their classmates and hope that sometime in the future these projects will help students just like them learn about the unusual spring of 2020.
