Over 22 million Americans have filed for unemployment since President Trump declared COVID-19 a national emergency. The United States has not dealt with this staggering amount of job loss since the Great Depression. #sonomastate #unemployment #STAR #greatdepression

According to the Sonoma County Health Office in order to protect the public from the easily spread novel coronavirus, Sonoma County has chosen not to sit back and wait for more cases but instead work on preventing future cases. #sonomastate #sonomacounty #STAR #masks

Since the coronavirus epidemic, colleges and universities across the nation have shifted classes online or closed campuses. Students are now hoping for some sort of refund and a discount toward tuition, however, some colleges and universities have other plans.

With restaurants and retail outlets closed during the COVID-19 quarantine, many students may be out of a job for a while. Some students are wondering where next month’s rent is going to come from or how they are going to find a job back home for the rest of the semester.
