In a New York State of Mind

摘要

It's been many weeks since I went outside my home because of the coronavirus pandemic lockdown. The government's warning to its citizens is "stay in your home" and do not come into contact with anyone closer than six feet, in what has become known as "social distancing." Typically, when the months of April and May rolled around, and the school year was winding down, my family began developing an itinerary for the impending summer. However, U.S. government health officials predict that it may be several more months before this country resumes anything that comes close to a "normal" life.
