WHAT YOU DON'T SEE.
COVID RELIEF
The news is flooded with those who are suffering from or have died from COVID-19. Here are some images and a video of those celebrating after recovering from COVID-19 and finally leaving the hospital. Despite the thousands who have died from this disease, about 95% of those who contract the virus recover from it.
When most of the world goes into lockdown, it is difficult to think about anything positive that could come out of it. Here are some images that show the positive impact that the lockdowns have had on our Earth.
BLACK LIVES MATTER
“In US news and current events today, the Black Lives Matter protests have continued to boil over in over 140 cities across the US. Most stories you see are of riots, looting, and police brutality, but the George Floyd protests have been predominantly peaceful, and these Black Lives Matter protesters have come up with creative ways to have their voices heard in a peaceful manner. “
“First, it’s important to understand the mandate of the news, and that is to get eyeballs on the screen, whether that is your television screen or the one in your hands. Networks focus on spectacle: fires, people crying, and broken windows, instead of the larger story.”
LGBTQ+
When most of the world goes into lockdown, it is difficult to think about anything positive that could come out of it. Here are some images that show the positive impact that the lockdowns have had on our Earth.
Although same-sex marriage is legalized throughout the U.S. we often don’t see the discriminatory laws that still exist against this community in more than 50% of states.
We often do not see the violence against members of the LGBTQ+ community. The media doesn’t show these horrific hate crimes and this issue is usually overshadowed by other issues our country faces.
