Tim,

Nice shots. Am wondering if these are recent, just curious if Chicago is still like that as we are back to close to normal here, as far as people on the street are concerned. Tourists mostly, packing in here like any other summer. Illness incidence among the locals has been vanishingly small up to now.
 
Thanks Larry,

As a whole, Illinois is doing better than some other parts of the country. Unfortunately where we are in the Chicagoland area, we've been hit pretty hard. These are from about seven days ago. Not seeing a lot of folks riding the train, it's about an hour commute to downtown and that's a long time to be in a small space with a train car full of people, when 1 in every 90 persons here has been infected.

Stay Safe & wear a mask.

Best,
-Tim
 
After two and half months at home at finally my wife and me went out first time this week for a few minutes. Still a little nervous...you never know whom you'll meet and if they will keep safety distance...

MAP6 Collective: The Isolation Project
http://www.map6.co.uk/the-isolation-project-photographs

I went as part of the photo collective MAP6 to Finland in March. Suddenly, the COVID-19 situation worsened and we found ourselves trapped in a country with locked borders...

''On March 16th, five members of the MAP6 collective flew to Finland to photograph the area around Rovaniemi in Lapland. The coronavirus was beginning to take hold across the world; it had been ranked as a pandemic by the World Health Organisation on March 11th, and its impact was only just beginning to be realised. Within hours of arriving they were notified that all return flights had been cancelled. With the country entering a state of emergency and the borders closed, the MAP6 members were potentially stranded. Events escalated as they watched alarming news updates from their apartment. Museums and schools had closed in Rovaniemi, and restaurants and bars were shutting. This was the beginning of a global lockdown. For four days the MAP6 photographers documented the crisis from within Finland, whilst awaiting confirmation of a flight home. The text is from headlines that appeared on various social media channels during that time.''

A strong project. Worthwhile to look at it reding the captions as well.
