What The Time Of The Coronavirus Is Teaching Us (4)

My journal during these days of the Covid-19 virus quarantine in New York City. It is a collage of observations, wisdoms, quotes, and images, in an arbitrary order. The stories mirror these unpredictable days. While the entries are chronological, they remain illogical and random, without any known ending.

Chapter 4

Spring has sprung, so has cabin fever, and a severe shortage of medical protective gear

Will the sun save us all from insanity and unsafe working conditions for medical professionals?

Day eight or ten or twelve of New York under quarantine. I lost count of when it actually started. But for my own reference, I use Friday, March 13, 2020, when the Metropolitan Museum closed its doors to visitors, for an unknown number of days, or weeks.

Additionally, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden has closed its gates to visitors temporarily as well

We are deeply saddened that the community will not be able to enjoy the pleasures of early spring here in the coming weeks. We will regroup when this emergency has abated to welcome you back into the full embrace of the Garden. — BBG Press Release
