Shreya Jagan, Staff Reporter

April 8, 2020

The only good thing I can think of right now is our environment. And that too is a bittersweet conversation.  Being in quarantine has done a number on wildlife.

I’ve been sitting at home for the past three weeks, only ever stepping outside for short walks around my neighborhood. Never for too long, and never without protection.

Misinformation has constantly proven it’s worth, and we constantly fall prey to it. Our world is chaotic and the lies blend in with the truth so often that it’s hard to pick them apart. Recently, a man living in Phoenix tried to medicate himself for the virus by taking doses of chloroquine phosp...
