Nobody expected 2020 to be like this. All media channels encouraging people to stay at home. All theaters, cinemas, gyms, and museums being closed. All hospitals around the world filled with people, some even unable to help others. It seems like everything has stopped in the great pandemic of the 21st century—coronavirus. One artist decided to show us how to adapt to these uneasy and extreme times.

Could we somehow coordinate a response from hospitality and chain restaurants too? For major hospitals in the cities like Boston, New York City/Manhattan, Chicago there shouldn’t be too many tourists or people staying out of town. Healthcare providers and people working on the frontlines bring that risk back home. Having disinfection protocols once leaving those facilities and upon entering hotels/motels/field camps would mitigate the spread and provide them with places to stay, and decrease food they throw out and is a good publicity opportunity.

    I feel this needs a little context as some may not realize the significance of the items on the cart or the image. This is meant to show a Haft Seen. The Haft Seen is a traditional display of items signifying spring and rebirth. For Iranians, the first day of spring is also the start of the new year, Nowruz, and so it occurred during this crisis. Nowruz is meant to be a time of celebration and family, not being in quarantine in a hospital bed. This is meant to show doctors doing what they can to make patients feel more at home and bring what little comfort they can during a time that that is meant to be joyful.

    39-year-old Iranian artist Alireza Pakdel creates mindful illustrations that reflect on the world’s current situation and show how to fight the spread of this invisible enemy. His illustrations capture the harsh reality of those who sacrifice themselves to take care of us—doctors, policemen, firemen, and nurses. They are the protagonists of these illustrations that we must respect.

    My sister works in the ER. The hospital just told the staff that if they are exposed to Corona virus, they are to continue working, and cannot leave until they start showing symptoms. This plus no PPE ( Personal Protection Equipment ) is technically Human Endangerment. She could get fired for speaking publicly. Guys, if you or someone you know is having to work in these conditions, go to the news and let them know, but anonymous. This is perhaps the best way to get a company under fire.

    Pakdel masterfully highlights the power of solidarity, empathy, and protection for one another. His characters convey all kinds of feelings and appeal to surreal, imaginary situations that reflect on today’s world—a group of doctors holding the arrows of the clock to wait for the vaccine, a doctor and a nurse trying to break the chain of the coronavirus from a patient’s hand, and another doctor sacrificing himself to defend a group of patients from the deadly virus.

    They lay down their lives so people can cross from the side of disease and being sick to healthy. Putting their bodies on the line for each other and the public, both the path and mode towards recovery. There are healthcare providers falling ill and dying as we speak, the sacrifice of the body.

    This one really hits home. They are literally risking their lives so don’t complain about social isolation. There are so many love languages and ways to communicate. Use this time to figure out yourself and do what you’ve been putting off/meaning to do. Unfortunately, it sucks that for many poverty can be scarier than disease. The numbers, the economy will be much worse off if we lose our spirit and loved ones. How can you expect us to work and stimulate the global economy when we have lost faith in our governments? Having a lull and shutdown of a few months is better than losing the ones we love and continuing the spread of disease, which over time is worse off for the economy and global unity by adding to quarantine times, fear, racism, and etc... Get tests out there! Work together and share the research.

    We really forget. They have to be better protected and given more benefits. All professions should have liveable wages, and corporations have to stop being insensitive vampires. Thank you for everyone able to work. I know it’s easier in theory to try to claim unemployment or justify going to work to keep mouths fed or forcing someone to work even though they are sick, but that’s seriously misguided and contribute to a growing problem and burdening the systems. Also, limit your shopping and have one person do it for multiple families to limit exposure and the crowds. Don’t leave the house just to have something to do, take a walk while maintaining social distancing outside.

    Yes, we’re buying time as to not overwhelm the medical work providers. A second wave is very likely, so mass testing needs to be done and people shouldn’t be stupid like relaxing on hygiene or immediately celebrating. Sorry Italians, but running from North to South knowing that a quarantine was looming was not the best idea. For people returning to their respective countries, the airlines and crisis lines should have coordinated with officials to set up temporary facilities until incubation periods are over and testing comes back negative after some time, not immediately. Or at the very least temperature checks. Those who were asked to be careful and diligent, ughhh why? The people under 40 (socializing and partying; not because of work) who thought they would be fine, you’re taking up space in the ICU that can be used for vulnerable patients. Now you’ll make up the majority in the upcoming weeks. We’re all learning, but that was seriously misguided. Please apologize to the germaphobic

    It feels like a desperate attempt to stall time, and they need more hands on deck. At what other time can you do the right thing by staying at home and lounging around watching Netflix? Also, get vaccinated and stop people from trying to claim religious reasons to get out of it. You’re literally depending on others for herd immunity you selfish jerk. Don’t spread idiocy. This will be a problem for a long time; it’s exposed to the global population. The longer it stays and is left untreated, the more chances it can mutate. Its mutation rate seems slower and doesn’t seem to ceckme more dangerous for the time being. Don’t add a flu outbreak to this pandemic, not at this time, not any other time in the future.

    It is "Samani" we call in Azerbaijan, we plant it or decorate our rooms in Novruz- for celebration of spring arrival. As well as novruz symbolisez the new year in the past. Iran, Azerbaijan and other nations in the Central Asia celebrate this festivity since over 2 thousands ago... It resembles Pasqua-Easter in Western countries.

    STAY HOME! Going out spreads the virus even if you aren't sick.

    Not if they lived together with the family from the beginning. Households with several generations under one roof/in one flat are not so uncommon...

    Even if you leave home with the mask on, it won't be as safe as staying home. It's still risky. You can accidentally touch the outside of mask and rub your skin elsewhere. You might touch the surface of an infected place and touch your skin elsewhere before washing hands.

    Family have left home and feel protected by owning a mask but it hasn't been used correctly thus offering a false sense of hope or security

    There have been a lot of charlatans telling people they have a cure (I don't know who the Iranian equivalent of Jim Baker is, but I guess some exist). There is no cure yet, just treatment for the symptoms and methods for keeping yourself safe until there is a specific treatment and/or vaccine.

    there's a lot of superstitious b******t solutions to the coronavirus suggested by clerics. for example dried female donkey s**t (not even kidding) so this guy is trying them all and the virus is like WTF?

    it doesn't matter what exactly it says. as long as you understand he's saying "i'll do whatever i want, without any cares". and the virus about to infect him is looking at him as though he's lost his mind.
