When she heard that her university campus would be shutting down after spring break due to the coronavirus pandemic, Alexis feared her life could fall apart.

She wasnt able to afford campus housing this semester and is living instead in a nearby homeless shelter. But she depended on her schools health and fitness center for daily showers and her schools library for quiet study time.

My whole life revolves around the university, and the university is closed, said Alexis, a 34-year-old trans woman and student at the University of Eastern Michigan. (A university spokesperson told Vox that campus dining halls are still open for grab and go meals in accordance with a Monday order from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer; however, other services like the health center are closed.)

When her school decided to shift to online classes, which meant finding a public space to study and attend classes, she knew that wouldnt be possible in the shelter. She also knew that other public spaces would likely soon close to promote social distancing. She worried she may have to move back home with her father, who doesnt support her transition and doesnt use her name or correct pronouns.

My relationship with my parents is not good, particularly my dad, Alexis said. My parents in general are just not very accepting of me, but [being] trans is kinda like the straw that broke the camels back.

Alexis is one of thousands of LGBTQ college students dealing with campus closures; a 2016 survey of more than 33,000 college students found that 10 percent identified as LGBTQ. But many queer students dont have a safe or supportive place to go home to while campuses struggle to manage the ongoing pandemic. When state and local health officials outlined guidance about closing down spaces where large groups gather, universities across the country were among the first to act in order to try to mitigate the spread of Covid-19, the disease stemming from coronavirus.

My whole life revolves around university, and the university is closed

On March 6, the University of Washington was the first to shut its doors, moving entirely to online classes in a region hit early in the pandemic. Since then, most schools have followed suit. But the closings disproportionately affect LGBTQ students, who are less likely in general to have supportive places to go home to.

As a queer community, we have a long way to go. Oftentimes, for our youth, that means [they have] unfriendly places to go back home to from college because at college at least maybe theyve created a community, a group of friends, a support system, said Shane Windmeyer, founder and executive director of Campus Pride. But sometimes these situations or crises happen where students are asked to go home, and sometimes they dont have a home to go to.

The collective action by institutions of higher learning has triggered a panic among many queer students who have been forced to find alternative housing, medical providers, and even employment.

One of those students was Reed Cooper, a 20-year-old junior attending DePauw University, a private college in Greencastle, Indiana. Cooper lives in on-campus housing and depends on a work-study job for income while he attends school. But the universitys decision to close meant scrambling to find basic accommodations.

There had been rumors circulating between students that our university was going to cancel classes, but it kind of blindsided all of us, he said. Originally, DePauw gave students until March 20 to clear out, but a subsequent email last Friday informed students that they would need to vacate campus by Monday, March 16. It caught everyone off-guard. (Representatives from DePauw didnt return Voxs request for comment.)

I am lucky enough to have a support system in Indianapolis, but I rely on this institution for my therapy, for medical treatment, and my whole support system is on campus, he said. There are other trans people I know on campus that arent lucky enough to have people they can stay with, that have families that have either kicked them out or they have to go back to being in the closet when they get home.

At the same time, Cooper knows that closing campus was the right call to protect vulnerable people from Covid-19. I completely understand the need for taking us off campus because thereve been a lot of cases in the central Indiana area and they dont want to risk a student getting infected. I get that they want to slow the spread of a pandemic. That being said, our university specifically seems to have given no options for [students like us].

Different administrations have taken on different policies. Many schools have allowed international students and students with nowhere else to go to stay on campus. After initial vagueness when answering questions from a student reporter about housing for LGBTQ students, a spokesperson from Boston College, a Jesuit school in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, told Vox that they were able to accommodate all of the LGBTQ students who applied to stay on campus during the outbreak. Nearby Northeastern University in Boston announced last Wednesday that students could also stay on campus if they needed to.

Ultimately, the level of support parents offer their LGBTQ kids dictates the decision-making process for how LGBTQ students handle their campuses shutting down in the wake of the pandemic. While many students are able to find alternative housing, some are forced to go back into the closet in order to move home with their parents.

These situations or crises happen where students are asked to go home, and sometimes they dont have a home to go to

Such is the case for Cal, a 20-year-old gender nonbinary student attending the University of Utah. While Cals parents are not Mormon, they are conservative Christians, and Cal has never come out to them.

I dont think that theyve earned that from me, Cal told Vox. I have repeatedly, time and time again, heard them say things about the queer community in general that did not resound with their quote unconditional love. So that has discouraged me from being completely honest with them.

Before Utah transitioned to online-classes, Cal was living in off-campus housing. It was a very supportive situation, and they attended a support group for trans and nonbinary students on campus.

Cal now finds themself living in their childhood bedroom again, trying to finish out the school year online. Cal is also now unemployed, having lost their on-campus job as a barista and any progress toward becoming a certified lab assistant, which means they cant afford their off-campus housing. They had also planned on starting the application process for graduate school soon, but the shutdown has put those plans on hold as well.

Even with their life unraveling, they still think essentially shutting down the campus was the right call (a university spokesperson told Vox that the school has kept open its residence hall and dining services). Despite the fact that its kind of destroying my life right now, I think that it will be easier for me to recover than somebody who could get the disease and perhaps not survive from it.

In response to the pandemic and subsequent campus closings, some people have taken to offering their homes to LGBTQ students with nowhere else to go. In Washington, DC, locals organized a Google form to assist with housing students who cant remain in student housing at nearby American University.

Windmeyer said that even when universities are strained under emergency circumstances, theres often a queer community if not on, then around, campus thats ready and willing to help. I do think that in times of crisis that asking or making sure that you let people that you trust know your situation, many times through that openness and trust, people are able to come together and help each other, he said.

In other words, queer students are doing what theyve always done in times of crisis: turning to their communities for resources. Thats what Alexis ended up doing. She reached out to a local group offering direct support for students in need when Covid-19 cases first began popping up in Michigan. I was like, Oh, well Ill reach out to them and see what we can do. And they hooked me up with a person who is generous enough to let me stay here.

As millions of students see their lives turned upside-down by a global pandemic, queer and trans students are facing additional challenges. But theyre surviving through solidarity, a lesson that everyone will need to learn to overcome whats ahead.

Wilton restaurants and fitness centers adjust to new rules

WILTON From pizza to fine dining, Wilton restaurants will only be serving up takeout meals for the foreseeable future. And if youre looking to stay in shape, a local Pilates studio will be going online.

On Monday, Gov. Ned Lamont ordered the closing of all restaurants and bars in the state that serve food for eat-in customers.

Only take-out meals and food deliveries will be allowed, in an attempt to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

Bars that do not serve food were ordered to close immediately, with no schedule for reopening in the health crisis. Movie theaters, gyms, fitness centers and studios were ordered to close by 8 p.m.

A number of Wilton restaurants are offering a variety of takeout meals.

Wilton Pizza is offering takeout and if anyone wants curbside service, they will accommodate them. They also deliver.

Under the circumstances, Im relieved they are doing that. Theyve got to limit the spread [of the virus] and if that works Im OK. Its been quiet. Its definitely had an impact, said manager Alfredo LoPresti.

Cactus Rose in Wilton River Park said it is closing today, Tuesday and Wednesday and reopening Thursday for curb service.

Red Rooster Pub, 10 Center Street, is offering takeout service but with a shortened menu, according to owner Tony Ramadani. The shortened menu features Italian dishes, pasta, chicken, pizza, and salad. The plan is to serve daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. The hours could be adjusted in the future, Ramadani said.

Pinocchio Pizza, 1 Center Street, is offering its full menu for takeout, according to the owner, Frank Sadrija.

If you are in the mood for fine dining, The Schoolhouse at 34 Cannon Road, is offering a three-course takeout menu. Call 203-834-9816 for more information.

Bianco Rosso Wine Bar & Restaurant at 151 Old Ridgefield Road is closing for lunch, but will open at 4 p.m. for takeout. They are offering dinners for two, four or six people and are looking into the possibility of offering delivery service.

Tusk & Cup coffee shop at 142 Old Ridgefield Road will offer takeout service during regular business hours.

Not surprisingly, Wilton Restaurant Week which was scheduled for March 16 - March 22, offering diners fixed course meals, has been canceled.

We are canceling Restaurant Week but are encouraging the community to order takeout. Many of the restaurants are doing takeout, curbside pickup or delivery themselves or through a third party, said Camille Carriero of the Wilton Chamber of Commerce.

Area gyms were ordered to close.

I knew it was coming but Im very upset, not by the governors choice but upset it has come to this. I want to do whats best for the community and everybodys health, said Mary Beth Young, owner of The Pilates Advantage at 414 Olmstead Hill Road.

This is very stressful but of course Im happy to accommodate these steps for everyone. Im trying to pull together some online videos, I will get the instructors in the studio tomorrow and post them online, she said.

Information will be posted on her website explaining how people can access and pay for the videos.

My main message is, Im walking my walk of wellness and health by posting online so people can do some type of Pilates until we are back open and back to normal. Im a real advocate for health and wellness, she said.

Young said it's been stressful enough to run her own business and give 100 percent. With all of this Ive been spending money on sanitizers, wiping everything down 10 times more than normal, she said.

Anytime Fitness at 84 Danbury Road is also closed until further notice. Lets shut everything down and stay home. The sooner we do that and contain the virus, the sooner we can all re-open, said Cecelia Laskauskas, the gyms manager.

Positivity and lightheartedness are important, but when it comes down to it, coronavirus is no laughing matter. It can lead to very stressful situations economically, mentally, and physically.

Quarantines and isolation specifically can be very stressful, especially for those already dealing with anxiety, and can even lead to PTSD and other psychological issues.

China even created mental health hotlines for those dealing with stress/mental health issues during the coronavirus epidemic.

If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, a crisis, or needs immediate help, call the National Institute of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention hotline at1-800-273-TALK.

7 Apps to Help You Stay Calm and De-Stress - GearJunkie

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee plans to issue an emergency proclamation on Monday, March 16, that will temporarily shut down restaurants, bars and recreational facilities statewide and prohibit all gatherings of more than 50 people as part of a growing dragnet aimed at limiting the deadly reach of the coronavirus.

Restaurants will be allowed to provide take-out and delivery services, but no in-persondining will be permitted, Inslee said in announcing his planned emergency order Sunday evening, March 15.The ban will not apply to grocery stores and pharmacies. Other retail outlets will have reduced occupancy.

Inslee added that any gatherings under 50 participants will be prohibited as well, unless criteria for public health and social distancing are met. King County decided to implement the order immediately Sunday evening, according to Inslee.

These orders prohibit all gatherings with 50 or more people, and require dance halls, clubs, theaters, health and fitness clubs, and other similar indoor social or recreational venues to cease operations, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan said in a statement about the new order.

After sighting a study indicating that by early April up to 25,000 people in the Puget Sound region could be infected by the coronavirus (COVID-19), with 400 dying, absent serious measures being taken, Durkan offered these observations in an email press release related to the impact on the affected businesses:

I have talked with Vice President Pence, our federal delegation and Governor Inslee to speed up meaningful relief for those already impactedWe also continue to partner with business and philanthropyto build more programs for impacted workers and families, Durkan said in announcing the order. As a city, we are supporting our small businesses who are impacted by this crisis by deferring payment on business taxes and utilities, setting up a Small Business Stabilization Fund and ensuring our small businesses can access federal assistance through the Small Business Administration as soon as it becomes available.

We will continue to build on these measures by using every possible local, state, federal and private resource to support small businesses, workers and families, Durkan added. Ultimately, we know we will need an unprecedented small business and worker-relief package from Congress. Congress must think bigger and bolder for a long-term economic relief package to help the people and businesses who already feel the real consequences of this global pandemic.

Visit Seattle and Washington State Convention Center officials report that the economic cost to of canceled client convention-center bookings in March alone resulted in a $20 million loss in economic impact. Washington Gov. Jay Inslees past announcedprohibition against public gatherings of 250 or more, now narrowed to 50 or more with the current announcement, puts at risk in April and May an additional $89 million which is the estimated combined economic impact of events and meetings already booked at the downtown convention center.

As commercial- and hospital-based testing for the new coronavirus becomes more available, state guidance for doctors treating suspected patients has widely expanded the pool of who can be tested.

New guidelines allow for testing people who live in nursing homes or other congregate living facilities, patients deemed to be public health concerns after being evaluated by medical professionals, hospitalized patients with unexplained respiratory problems, and people at higher risk of complications for whom a rapid diagnosis would benefit their treatment.

The newest guidelines for health care providers were released Friday by the Illinois Department of Public Health.

Early testing targeted those people most at risk, and it remains true that not everyone who wants a test can get one. Early on, a health care provider could seek a state laboratory test for people who were symptomatic, had contact with a known patient and if other illnesses had been ruled out.

After officials found their first case of community spread, meaning they confirmed a coronavirus case but couldnt find a link to a previous patient, the guidance changed again, dropping the contact-with-prior-patient requirement but limiting tests to those who were severely ill.

The last disease the WHO declared a pandemic was a new flu strain, initially called "swine flu," in 2009. That decision came after the new H1N1 flu had been spreading in multiple countries for about six weeks. Today, that strain is what's known as "endemic" worldwide it became part of every season's regular flu outbreak.

This is the first time this kind of virus a coronavirus has been labeled a pandemic, "but at the same time, we believe that it will be the first also to be able to be contained or controlled," Tedros said.

OUTBREAK? EPIDEMIC? PANDEMIC? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

An outbreak is a sudden rise in cases of a disease in a particular place. An epidemic is a large outbreak. A pandemic means a global epidemic.

Experts point out that the word "pandemic" is sure to reverberate, even though many people may not understand what it means.

"The word hasn't been suitably explained and made clear," said Ian Mackay, who studies viruses at Australia's University of Queensland. "It has been kept in a drawer and only used at the worst time. So, of course people have fear of it."

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ABOUT THE DISEASE'S SEVERITY?

Pandemic is a scary word but it has nothing to do with how serious the illness is. It just means a disease is spreading widely. There can be pandemics of mild illness, like that H1N1 flu turned out to be in 2009.
