ICYMI - ChrisKnightfilm: In this COVID-19 intermission, we're redrawing our mental maps of the world
Three months ago, if you’d offered me a bargain trip for three days in New York City, I’d have jumped at the chance. And if you’d given me an all-expenses-paid week in the rural Manitoban hamlet of my choice, my answer as a stuck-up Torontonian would have been: Thanks, but I’m good.
Imagine the thrill a Torontonian would feel if you told him he could get a haircut and then go out for a drink to celebrate the end of his mullet-hood Since then, numbers in Italy have fallen, and while they’re not great — several hundred new cases daily as of last week, and 50 to 100 dead each day — the trend is ever downward. As of June 3, tourists from the E.U. and U.K. can visit without going into quarantine, a move the government calls a “calculated risk.” Bars, restaurants and museums have been slowly reopening since mid-May.
We abandon Yelp reviews in favour of the Johns Hopkins’ COVID-19 map, in which the world is covered with overlapping red circles. It looks like a nuclear exchange has taken place. “Hot spots” takes on a new meaning. This is where death is.
