However, each of these news outlets have chosen varying ways in showing this concept. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea that <em>no one is safe<\/em> does not necessarily mean that every individual will be infected by the COVID-19 coronavirus. No one is safe from this virus because people have lost their jobs, people are unable to visit with loved ones and people have to stay indoors risking mental health or being trapped in an unsafe environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Science Without Answers <\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each day, new data and information is brought to the public by health experts studying the virus. Doctors and nurses across the country listen for new developments on the novel virus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Lara Ferri, doctor in Philadelphia, said healthcare workers are trying their best to prepare for the coming weeks, but can only do so much with limited resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/offtheshelfandonline.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lara1-1.wav\"><\/audio><figcaption>Dr. Lara Ferri on lack of resources <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ferri&#8217;s husband, Dr. Raj Shah, works in pediatrics at another hospital in Philadelphia, where he has been told to give up beds of his own patients to house more coronavirus patients as the facility&#8217;s immediate care units become full. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though Shah does not ordinarily work in emergency care units, he has provided his medical expertise to assist the hospital in caring for the surplus of COVID-19 patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/offtheshelfandonline.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/LaraWar.wav\"><\/audio><figcaption>Dr. Lara Ferri on working on the front lines <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the pandemic began, news outlets such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcchicago.com\/news\/local\/watch-live-daily-coronavirus-briefing-from-illinois-health-officials\/2234359\/\">NBC Chicago<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7chicago.com\/watch\/23381\/\">ABC Chicago<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox32chicago.com\/live\">Fox Chicago <\/a>have daily streams of Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker with updates on coronavirus developments and adjustments to the stay-at-home order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the data shared is generally the number of cases, number of fatalities, number hospitalized and, more recently, the number recovered. The briefings also feature symptoms of the virus and what people should be wary of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though most symptoms are respiratory based, other symptoms have come into media&#8217;s limelight, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7chicago.com\/health\/covid-toes-mystery-blood-clots-appear-as-new-possible-coronavirus-symptom\/6119389\/\">COVID-toes<\/a>.

Ferri said many will have chronic lung damage for the rest of their lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/offtheshelfandonline.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/LaraLungDamage.wav\"><\/audio><figcaption>Dr. Lara Ferri on chronic lung damage <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ferri has lost immediate family to COVID-19 in Italy and, though she admits it is personal for her, she does not want the same to happen across the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/offtheshelfandonline.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/LaraQuarantine.wav\"><\/audio><figcaption>Dr. Lara Ferry on abiding by shelter-in-place order <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>The Everyday Impact <\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though the scientific details of the virus are pivotal in the public understanding its severity, many news outlets thought to focus on the everyday impact this is having on people around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <em>New York Times<\/em> wrote an interactive article, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2020\/03\/23\/world\/coronavirus-great-empty.html\">&#8220;The Great Empty,&#8221;<\/a> with images and text showing how this pandemic looks in a variety of countries. The New York Times has daily news updates regarding the virus, but has noticeably chose to write longer form articles to capture the grave impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Chicagoans, COVID-19 became even more real when news outlets like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcchicago.com\/top-videos-home\/watch-eerie-drone-footage-of-a-nearly-empty-chicago\/2244344\/\">NBC Chicago <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7chicago.com\/chicago-empty-covid-coronavirus-shelter-in-place\/6032302\/\">ABC Chicago <\/a>took drone footage of the empty city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both news outlets said they chose to feature this drone footage from artists in Chicago struggling to deliver their voice during this time. Though the simple video will not pay the bills, the artists said they are doing anything they can to keep their art alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students studying abroad this semester have had to cut their travels short bringing their books home and, for some, also the virus. Thomas Clancy, sophomore at Clemson University, caught COVID-19 studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain.
