14 Alondra Bobadilla, a junior at Fenway High School and the first-ever youth poet laureate for the city of Boston, stood in her front door in Hyde Park on April 23.

21 From left, Brigham and Women’s resident doctors Yannis Valtis, Rose Olson, and Fiona Malone stood outside of the Boston hospital on May 4. Resident doctors, finished with schooling and training for specialized medical careers, are on the front lines of the coronavirus crisis gripping the nation. Their jobs were notoriously punishing long before the pandemic began. Residents frequently log 80-hour weeks for little more than minimum wage, once all their working hours are tallied, while carrying mountains of student loan debt. Its a system designed to test the physical and mental limits of the next generation of health care providers and to instill an ethic of professional sacrifice, for when sacrifice is required. (Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff)

23 Boston Medical Center staff peered through the glass of a patient’s room as a team performed a tracheostomy on a COVID-19 patient in the ICU. The nurses and doctors who work in intensive care are schooled in mass casualties, skilled at rescuing the sickest patients, and accustomed to relying on the findings of time-tested medical science. But nothing in their experience compares to COVID-19. Nurses are finding themselves improvising in new roles and doctors are learning on the fly, tapping any source they can find.

33 Long-time customers of Claudia Market Jazmin Ochoa, left, and her daughter Ruby Pena, left the Roxbury corner store on April 16. With restaurants and other arenas of public life closed across the state, and large grocery stores overrun and understocked, bodegas — those scrappy convenience stores often based in working-class neighborhoods — are getting the credit they deserve. Some are still miraculously well stocked with flour and toilet paper, but even beyond that, they offer a feeling of neighborly communion in an isolated time. (Erin Clark/Globe Staff)

34 Family members mourned Bernard Seckler, 95, and his wife Eveyln Seckler, 94 at their funeral services at Sharon Memorial Park in Sharon on April 16.

42 Lexington Minuteman re-enactor John Kiernan, wearing a mask, stood by during a small commemoration of the Battle of Lexington Monday morning on the Battle Green on April 20. The annual reenactment of the battle between Minutemen and British Army soldiers on April 19, 1775, that began with armed hostilities between King George III and Colonial rebels, did not take place Monday for only the second time in the last 48 years. Instead of firing muskets, they laid flowers at the memorials around the Lexington Green and paused to make short videos (sans masks) summarizing the events and historic context for the people whose lives intersected with each other 245 years ago. (Joanne Rathe/Globe Staff)

43 Eleanor Dittmer, joined in the window by nurse’s aide Courtney Nadeau, waved to family, friends and neighbors driving through the parking lot of the assisted-living unit of the Harriett and Ralph Kaplan Estates in Peabody on April 26.

51 Louis Kroll, 5, sat at home in Jamaica Plain on April 14. His father Seth, like other parents during this time, has wrestled with the guilt of plopping Louis down in front of a screen as a last-ditch effort to maintain some semblance of sanity while tending to the demands of life and work. In the mornings they mimic their son’s school time by painting, putting on dramatic plays, going for walks and using crafts. But when push comes to shove, out come the “Star Wars” films. While limits are important, usage is likely to increase right now, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Yet some experts say that, under these unique circumstances, parents shouldn’t be too hard on themselves. As long as they make themselves available to their children, and engage them in activities and learning opportunities offline throughout the day, then “the kids will be alright,” said Dr. Michael Rich, director of the Center on Media and Child Health at Boston Children’s Hospital. (Craig F. Walker/Globe Staff)

Melissa Mawn’s three kids’ teachers keep sending emails at all hours, demanding Zoom meetings and dispersing new assignments. What sent her over the edge this past week was the email from the gym teacher. Why on earth can’t her kids just play in the yard? Her frustration, voiced on Facebook this week, spoke for parents everywhere who are trying to schedule their children’s laptop needs and curriculum requirements around their own at-home workloads. (Craig F. Walker/Globe Staff)

59 Mark Rosa passed back an N95 mask to be packaged at Massachusetts General Hospital on April 13.

The treatment takes place inside a giant decontamination machine owned and operated by the Ohio nonprofit Battelle. Hospitals plan to use the machine to alleviate critical shortages of respirator masks for workers battling the coronavirus pandemic. At its peak, the system will be able to treat up to 80,000 masks per day a prospect hailed as a game-changer for the region. (Blake Nissen for The Boston Globe)

61 Christine McCarthy, an ICU nurse for over 20 years, sat in what is usually a full waiting room in the ICU at Massachusetts General Hospital on April 2. These days, health care workers are often the only people present at the bedsides of the dying. Already under enormous strain, those workers stand in as best they can for the spouses, children, and clergy who cannot be there. The human connection that nurses can usually offer patients who are in pain and nearing the end of their lives is different now, fully geared up in gloves, masks, gowns, and face shields to protect themselves and their families. “They can’t see our faces. They can’t see us smile,” said McCarthy. “They don’t have that reassurance they would normally have.” (Erin Clark/Globe Staff)

66 Aquitane Restaurant Group Manager Scott Lamb looked out his restaurant’s window in Boston on Apr. 3. Now, like all restaurants, it offers take-out only due to the coronavirus pandemic. The state’s 15,000-plus restaurants and bars were the first to feel the economic shock of the coronavirus pandemic, when Governor Charlie Baker ordered all table service to stop by March 17. Restaurants can do takeout and delivery, but most have chosen not to keep their kitchens open. Restaurateurs know the shutdown is necessary to save lives, and at the moment they arent in a hurry to reopen. Consumers won’t want to eat out unless they know the virus is under control. (Barry Chin/Globe Staff)

Charlie Baker said, eventually recieving help from the Kraft family. (Jim Davis/Globe Staff)

70 Keila Cupid helped her daughter Crisaly, 11, pick up a box of food dropped off by a Hoops and Homework staffer at their home in Framingham on April 1. Framingham’s after school program Hoops and Homework was cancelled when schools closed, so staff instead began delivering food twice a week to families.

I don’t want him to think that I don’t want to see him,” Roberta said. She has not seen her son in four months and explained that if he did come home for a visit, he would have to stay there.

84 Rita Ghai stood with her daughter Samta in the doorway of their Pittsfield home on April 3. Anup Singh Ghai, husband to Rita and father to Samta, was 71 when he died on March 21 from COVID-19. He was alone for the final week of his life, although his daughter and his wife were permitted to put on protective gear and come to the hospital and be with him for his final breath. The Ghai family could not gather for the cremation, a traditional Hindu ritual. As a consolation, the funeral home director told them that if they stood in the parking lot of a restaurant across the street from the medical center, they could see Ghai’s body carried out of the hospital. “It’s not just losing a family member,” said Samta, who later tested positive for the coronavirus along with her mother. “It’s the process, and how they died. And how you couldn’t even do a funeral for them.” (Erin Clark/Globe Staff)

85 A lone pedestrian walked down Jersey Street outside Fenway Park on what would have been Opening Day, April 2, if the MLB had not suspended its season to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
