Hundreds of people lined up for drive up COVID-19 tests at the Doctors Now clinic in West Des Moines. Iowa is seeing a surge in COVID-19 (Coronavirus) cases and the state’s ”Test Iowa” public testing program is swamped with some people waiting 3 – 5 days for an appointment for a drive up test. As of Sunday, 15 November, Iowa had the 3rd highest Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection rate in the country with 4,432 new cases reported in the previous 24 hours and 1,279 people hospitalized for COVID-19. Des Moines area hospitals have warned that they are at capacity and many hospitals are reporting staffing shortages because workers have come down with COVID-19.

zReportage.com Story of the Week #764: TUESDAY December 1, 2020: ‘NEW MODEL ARMY’ from ZUMA Press award winning Newspaper the Albuquerque Journal photojournalist Roberto E. Rosales and journalist Matthew Reisen: In recent months, private militias across the country have reacted angrily to pandemic lockdown measures, and they have shown up in force at anti-fascist and Black Lives Matter protests. New Mexico has been keeping its eye on unlawful militias, ever since the so-called New Mexico Civil Guard began appearing at demonstrations against police brutality and colonial monuments. In a civil suit aimed at stopping the militia, the state wrote the group ”usurped law enforcement authority,” noting that ”New Mexico law forbids unregulated private security forces and unregulated paramilitary organizations because they are not accountable to the people, they pose a threat to public safety, and they encourage rather than deter or quell violence.” However, there’s no easy solution to the country’s dangerous and growing militia problem. Welcome to: ‘NEW MODEL ARMY’

Overcoming COVID in 2020 has become a challenge for billions of people all across the globe regardless of their occupation or social status. The pandemic has affected all areas of our lives, becoming a series of trials and tribulations for many professionals, including photographers.

Far behind hospital front lines and on deserted city streets, photojournalists have been striving to capture the most vital moments of the global fight against coronavirus. Their work is as essential as that of other professionals, who have to battle a pandemic of this magnitude. Thanks to their images, they have frozen in time how our lives have dramatically changed over a short period.

Not only does this contest seek to preserve such a unique moment in world history, but it is devoted to those who witnessed these unparalleled, poignant, and at times heartbreaking episodes impacting people’s lives.
