Short update this week, as we all alternate between watching news feeds and roaming the streets in search of paper goods. Schools are closed for at least two weeks, and my company has us working from home. It’s difficult to imagine getting much done under the circumstances, but I suppose we’ll try. (Writing? Maybe.)
And of course it’s impossible not to do that writer thing and take notes on how people are behaving. Anxiety, bravado, caring, avarice all come out in plain sight when something moves as slowly as this does.
Meanwhile, it’s a beautiful spring afternoon. Birds will sing, no matter what happens.
