Bob, as usual those are excellent photos (though I would have enjoyed the second one more if those hideous red and green structures in the background were rendered in B&W!).
Here in Philadelphia, the transit is running on a Sunday schedule, with several bus, tram, and train lines shut completely. Churches (including ours) are using Zoom for services. I’ve been working from home, and I “walk to work” in the morning with a circuit of the nearby park, where dog-walkers are about the only other people out. In the evening it is more active, but still nowhere near normal. The park has a basketball court, which was jammed until the city removed the hoops on Monday. There are still a few courts in the city the crews haven’t gotten to yet, and apparently they’re still jammed. It’s hard to imagine a better place for COVID to spread than a basketball court in heavy use. Our case count is rising, but not at a crisis point yet; but we’ve always been a couple of weeks behind New York City in these things. Our son is an internal medicine resident/registrar in NYC, and is seeing almost nothing but COVID these days. He came down with it himself a couple of weeks ago; he felt horrible for a while (and had his parents rather anxious), but is now recovered and planning to return to work Monday. His wife is a nurse on what has become an all-COVID unit, so there is still anxiety in the air around here.
