Name: Pandemic Journal: Adam Foulds, Toronto, Canada, March 27, 2020 by The New York Review of Books
Duration: 4 min 50 s
Description: “Along the boardwalk there are people walking, jogging, walking their dogs, singly or in couples. They are sensibly spaced, intentionally or not. I keep my own distance: all of them are potential carriers. It feels new, this very old way of looking at the world and fearing the unseen, suspecting dybbuks and devils inside people, lurking on door handles, hovering in the air.”
