As Covid-19 spreads across the states, colleges like Frederick Community College remain empty as students complete their academic responsibilities online.
All buildings on campus have been locked up, all extracurricular activities suspended, and as the president pushes for reopening of the country, many ask the question “are we ready?”
This photo essay shows how quickly life for students, professors and staff at FCC transitioned from an active, engaged college campus to an online format. This format is temporary, but when it will end is unclear.
“But what does it mean, the plague? It’s life, that’s all.”
― Albert Camus, The Plague
“The truth is that everyone is bored and devotes himself to cultivating habits.”
― Albert Camus, The Plague
“What’s true of all the evils in the world is true of plague as well. It helps men to rise above themselves.”
― Albert Camus, The Plague
All I maintain is that on this earth there are pestilences and there are victims, and it’s up to us, so far as possible, not to join forces with the pestilences.”
― Albert Camus, The Plague
“I have realized that we all have plague, and I have lost my peace. And today I am still trying to find it; still trying to understand all those others and not to be the enemy of anyone. I only know that one must do what one can to cease being plague-stricken, and that’s the only way in which we can hope for some peace or, failing that, a decent death. This, and only this, can bring relief to men and, if not save them, at least do them the least harm possible and even, sometimes, a little good.”
