I appreciate having to slow down, step back and absorb more of my surroundings recently. In a lot of ways, it’s been what keeps me grounded and in motion through the day. I love to work. I love my work. And I deeply miss working in communities. Ohio is reopening, but for now, I am more content at a distance, watching the world unfold around me. Every now and again, I remember that embracing the feeling of life being turned upside down does wonders for my soul. #keepcreating https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f91bd286e6c08e3fabb9dc/1604339760160-DBHVAK6GVSGHEKUNJMZ6/DSC_4451.jpg Distanced Documentarian https://www.gaelenmorse.com/life-and-death-on-a-covid-ward daily 0.75 2021-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f91bd286e6c08e3fabb9dc/1610243422682-OOTNC4WAI831CPHAVOT7/gm_ICU_KyleNurse_21%28captioned%29.jpg Life and Death on a COVID Ward ICU nurse Kyle Day tends to a 25-year-old patient inside the COVID-19 ward of Mount Carmel Grove City Hospital. This woman is one of two patients under Day’s care during this shift. The current ratio for nurses in the Grove City COVID ICU is 2:1 but there have been times during the pandemic when that patient to nurse ratio has reached 3:1. As COVID-19 cases and deaths around Ohio continue to rise, staff on the COVID ICU floor of Mount Carmel Grove City Hospital work tirelessly to save the lives of their patients. It is here in this ward where the sickest of patients are treated. About half of the patients on this floor are intubated and sedated. Some patients will recover and eventually go home. Some of them are touch-and-go. Sadly, many people who end up here will die. This reality, of life and death, is not new to any ICU. But the ways in which this virus has taken hold of the world, has changed not only how hospitals must operate, it has left a lasting impression on the medical personnel who work here. On the surface of their skin, indentations are made from masks and a constant sheen from sweat and oil lingers on their faces. What can be likened to the look of a thousand-yard stare glosses over their eyes by midday, but there is never a moment when their attention wanders. Time must be taken to don protective gear before entering any room, regardless if the patient is stable or coding. Gear must be removed and discarded or sanitized before and after exiting each room. The deeper impressions go home with the staff. Throughout the day, difficult calls must be made to families explaining the options they have left. A nurse may end their shift one day having gotten to know a patient only to return for their next shift and discover their patient crashed in the middle of the night. Hours are spent discussing oxygen levels, looking over EKG printouts, and simply watching patients to measure progress. This is not new to staff but the rate at which it is occurring is shocking. Despite this, there is still a constant uplifting chatter, smiles and laughs are exchanged between nurses and technicians as they do what anyone would do: discuss Netflix shows, joke about the quickly dwindling box of HoHos in the break room or groan with disappointment to find out their favorite person to work with is being moved elsewhere. Some nurses are embedded from other hospitals, even other states, but they seemingly fit right in with the team. The process repeats for 12 hours until a new shift rotates in, day in and day out. The staggering rate of cases translate simply — there is an ever increasing amount of this exhausting work to be done. Medical staff in the ICU are trained for this, most are hardened, but they are human. The work has and will continue to take its toll, physically and emotionally. To them, it’s just another day. They’re used to it. To some of the public, it’s hard to fathom that daily burden. “There are some nights where I feel like I just don’t want to go back,” ICU nurse Kyle Day said. “But I have to. I have to for my patients.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f91bd286e6c08e3fabb9dc/1610243422682-OOTNC4WAI831CPHAVOT7/gm_ICU_KyleNurse_21%28captioned%29.jpg Life and Death on a COVID Ward ICU nurse Kyle Day tends to a 25-year-old patient inside the COVID-19 ward of Mount Carmel Grove City Hospital.

With a soft grunt, he slowly leans down. Earlier in life, he says, he would have filled them to the brim rather than halfway. But at age 83, he has lost strength and speed. Despite losing his wife, Mary Sue, Lowell has kept his farm going. He works from early morning to past sunset. "Most old farmers would go somewhere to be taken care of," Lowell says, smiling. "I've got more than I can do." Running a farm is not a one-man job, says Mark Clifford, Lowell's eldest son. Mark and his brother, Keith, have pitched in at times. Their mother's father was a tobacco farmer, and they would help out when visiting for vacation. But they have their own children and grandchildren, and working on the farm isn't always possible. Lowell and Mary Sue met as teenagers in a cow field in Cynthiana, where they were neighbors. They were married for 57 years before she passed away from ovarian cancer six years ago. After Lowell's time in the Air Force toward the end of the Korean War, they returned to Kentucky from his base in Texas. They moved home in 1971 with their two sons. Lowell got the farm he wanted. Lowell says there is no clear future for the Clifford farm. He isn't planning to give up his passion until he has to. He is content waking up to the work farming demands. There are 400 acres to care for. The calves need to be fed. His two barn cats, Skinny and Fatty, greet him with the same exuberance he gives them. "He could very easily die on this farm," Mark says. "In his mind, I don't think anything better could happen to him." Pictured: Lowell Clifford walks out of his barn while talking to his cat, Skinny, as the other barn cat, Fatty, watches from his perch inside. Lowell bought his farm in 1971. Now an 83-year-old widower, he is trying to care for it alone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f91bd286e6c08e3fabb9dc/1601167484753-GUMOWH4BTWNTLV0PDSX9/C75-10-MorseG-B-08.JPG Projects Cara Delaney lines traps with bait on the deck of the lobster boat, Pot Luck, as the sun just starts to rise above the horizon.

That was Saturday, March 7, 2020. By mid-week, I was on a lobster boat in New England, photographing a project about a disappearing culture. By end-of-week, I was on a plane back to Athens, Ohio, only to find a nearly deserted town upon arrival. Businesses quickly shuttered. The university closed. The chapter of college had suddenly come to a close for many of us. Goodbyes were left unsaid, congratulations and thank yous were to be delivered remotely. Caps and gowns were shelved, with only a sliver of hope remaining that they would one day be paraded across stages that signify the future to come. Across the country, around the world, everyone would come to redefine expectations and reevaluate certainties. Despite the circumstances, our creativity could not cease to exist — we needed it, I needed it — maybe now more than ever. I was adamant that my documentation of the world around me must continue in its old ways, even as I came to accept our new reality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f91bd286e6c08e3fabb9dc/1587518716297-Y7CWGIPV0NH1WGQLCKM3/_DSC3014_1.jpg New Reality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f91bd286e6c08e3fabb9dc/1587053154984-L3GSFVZI3MC9LZHD6VQE/Our_New_Reality_12.JPG New Reality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f91bd286e6c08e3fabb9dc/1587053230327-ZJECND45B6GJG7S41VFV/Our_New_Reality_05.JPG New Reality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f91bd286e6c08e3fabb9dc/1587053161699-3SG00IR7J3OI5MY24TFH/Our_New_Reality_02.JPG New Reality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f91bd286e6c08e3fabb9dc/1587053195108-BRN0401UYNMEDN1TRBMC/Our_New_Reality_03.JPG New Reality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f91bd286e6c08e3fabb9dc/1587053213613-IO19W2KFHSFVJXVQ4G1S/Our_New_Reality_04.JPG New Reality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f91bd286e6c08e3fabb9dc/1587053251962-8QKZ3DTQ1J3LTZGNJYVN/Our_New_Reality_06.JPG New Reality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f91bd286e6c08e3fabb9dc/1587053290587-7MUM8UUOHRA6WXINAKUY/Our_New_Reality_07.JPG New Reality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f91bd286e6c08e3fabb9dc/1603920350302-OX2SWL16BUD5LB7XDLKL/_DSC2780.jpg New Reality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f91bd286e6c08e3fabb9dc/1587053432059-WRWVWC2RGQ31ZU6BYKC7/Our_New_Reality_13.JPG New Reality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f91bd286e6c08e3fabb9dc/1587053336835-BV1OHK1IV3M9TNX2KIQQ/Our_New_Reality_09.JPG New Reality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f91bd286e6c08e3fabb9dc/1587518914721-6S45F13Z1RUY5HCU5NZD/_DSC2999_1.jpg New Reality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f91bd286e6c08e3fabb9dc/1587053387424-46PR60RYN17N7JVC4PI3/Our_New_Reality_11.JPG New Reality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f91bd286e6c08e3fabb9dc/1587053360040-2DPB9GMNM9WA5YANHLXG/Our_New_Reality_10.JPG New Reality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f91bd286e6c08e3fabb9dc/1587518877110-72L2EXAE0R3W2DBYHKYN/_DSC2991_1.jpg New Reality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58f91bd286e6c08e3fabb9dc/1588008769619-S98EB0K2KN9E26MHL5OH/Our_New_Reality_14.JPG New Reality
