We are living in unprecedented times that none of us have experienced before. The entire world has been forced to come to terms with COVID-19. With all respect for those affected by the virus, it is time to reevaluate the effectiveness of government-mandated quarantine. After living in this quarantine for the past month, there are some people who are tired of being unemployed, not being able to support their families. This has led to protests in around 20 states. In Washington State, Tyler Miller is a protest organizer who believes that Governor Inslee should not have control over who is allowed to go outside. Although his political views are against their required quarantine, he still believes in taking precautions: "The fact I am protesting does not mean I think it is a good idea to have gatherings, I just believe that the government has no authority to prohibit them."

Last year a few of us had a great discussion about what defines innocence and childhood. We came to the conclusion that everyone’s opinion differs widely. Not everyone got a chance to participate in the discussion so I thought I would bring it back and give everyone a chance to express their opinion. What is the definition of innocence? What makes up a childhood and does everyone have one? Is there anything that we collectively do as a society to maintain the idea of innocence and childhood longer? Is there more than one type of innocence? My final questions are when did you lose your innocence and childhood or do you think you are still living in it?
