1. The research that I have done during the semester was the perspective aspect of our project. I research and observate the different perspectives held by different ages of New Yorkers. We concluded that most young american and youth are not performing any precautionary action in controlling the virus from spreading around our states and country. I also research about the different state and federal support provided to New Yorkers. I provided different states and federal support with descriptions and links accessible through the website I created.
2. First, I was working with Gen Li on the first two assignments. We compare and contrast the different views out the window and their concerns in our neighborhood. The two of us were placed into a group with Asif Nabi and Miraz Nabi. We worked fine the first week with another compare and contrast over the different views and different concerns in our neighborhood. We also came up with the idea that we should introduce the different precautionary stages: Perspective, Protection and Prevention. I also came up with the slogan, PPP Coordinator, which was used as our group name. Unfortunately, the lack of social experience from Asif Nabi causes the group to break up. Asif Nabi had an argument with Gen Li, who was the group leader at the moment, because Asif was not responding to our scheduled meeting. I still remember the response from Professor Barlow to Asif Nabi’s email complaining Gen Li on his rudeness and disrespectfulness. Professor Barlow stated that the people involved in it today are the people who are going to be your bosses or who are going to have attitudes like your bosses. Gen Li and I left the group and decided to continue on the research and project we started. My position was basically getting our project to “go live” by creating a website from zero. I discuss with Gen Li whenever he has questions about his research. I also researched about the perspective aspect and the support that was provided by state and federal to the residence. We shared our information with the SSCJ team and invited their group members, Joel Tejada and Sadeek Brown to our group chat.

Dear Professor Lestón,

During the period of pause in New York and most states in the United States, I realized how insignificant humans are against viruses. We couldn’t do anything except stay home and avoid gathering with others to flatten the curve. I left my work on March 21,2020 due to Covid-19 impact. Just like other New Yorkers, I was forced to stay home until classes started on June 1. Everyday and night, the news report is reporting Covid-19 but in a form of a political conflict. I was glad that Professor Barlow provided opportunities for us to take place in a war against the invisible enemy. I felt like I was one of the frontline warriors in the hospital or out the street testing people.

Gen and Li created the project PPP Coordinator and we formed a website. It’s a matter of little effort compared to what the doctors and nurses have done during the pandemic but at least one small insignificant combined with more insignificant may result in significant returns. I am proud of myself when I may answer the question about what I have done during the pandemic; I created a website that informs people to perform precautionary action to avoid infection and preventing the virus from surging again.

Your Student,

Jun Liu From New York City College of Technology
