Once a week during spring semester, East Stroudsburg University junior Georgia Murray would sit outside Koehler Fieldhouse for an hour making notes on how many people wore a mask as they entered or left the building.
Murray was one of 10 ESU students taking part in a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study that is looking at mask-wearing on 53 college campuses around the country. ESU’s participation is led by Dr. Christine M. Fisher, assistant professor in the health studies department, who recruited students to take part.
Due to the pandemic, the normally bustling campus wasn’t crowded. Most ESU classes this spring were virtual but some lab and health science courses were in-person because of the hands-on requirements of the curricula. Six spring sports, plus men’s and women’s cross-country teams and the women’s swimming team, all competed this spring as well.

When the deadly spread of COVID-19 became apparent in New York City jails, the city began identifying some high-risk inmates to release. Ricardo Ferguson was one of them. 34 years old at the time, he suffered from serious heart problems and had already experienced multiple heart attacks. So for his health and safety, Ferguson was released from Rikers at the beginning of April.
But upon reentry into the community, Ferguson was unable to get the critical heart medication he needed. Although Correctional Health Services provided him with a prescription, his Medicaid stopped covering him for outpatient treatment while in jail, so he had no insurance to pay for it. Without any money to pay out of pocket, the pharmacist could not fill his prescription. He was too afraid to go to an emergency room during the pandemic. In mid-June, Ferguson was in the hospital due to his heart problems, where he finally got his medication.
