Crisis Update

     So far,  my group and I haven't done much in the past few days.  As far as we know, school for my entire district has been canceled and has recently extended until the start if May. The coronavirus has basically stopped productivity in its tracks and, many of my peers believe this may be an indefinite situation. We have started online school, but as far as the movie and post-production are concerned, we still lack the resources we have grown accustomed to. We planned to carry on with reshooting and editing but forced separation has made things more difficult. In terms of filming the CCR, we had planned to film together and take turns on camera but now we have to film separately and compile our footage together. Lacking cameras, we'll have to film and edit on our phones. I plan on involving my sister and having her ask me questions like an interview. Quarantine has really uprooted life as we know it. As it now, people are so hysterical and have got to extremes out of fear.  Some are afraid to leave their homes while others leave in reckless abandon. Shopping centers have either closed completely or have very limited hours; with some even setting regulations on the number of people allowed in stores per square foot. The beach has been closed, grocery stores are going empty, and every "non-essential business has basically been laid off. I recently went to Walmart and found that the entire section of toilet paper was gone. In lack of a better term, the coronavirus has practically sparked a miniature apocalypse.
