Ethiopian Cafe Roxbury
My dad had taken a long trip from his home to come visit me, the college student who lives in Boston. The tradition of eating at our favorite restaurant in town was soon to be. The 2019 red Toyota Tacoma was freshly cleaned and ready for another trip down to Roxbury, Massachusetts. I was picked up from my campus at Wentworth Institute of Technology on a bright sunny Saturday afternoon. It was about 75 degrees with a slight breeze on this beautiful July day. As we started driving down towards Roxbury, we could see nobody was outside. Usually Boston is full of people exploring the city and enjoying the downtown on a Saturday. Even at the Ethiopian Café there was no one in sight. We could see a mailman walking door to door dropping off mail but that was about it. There was hardly any traffic and no noise as most businesses were shut down. The birds chirping and the wind blowing was the only noise around. This looked like a ghost town. Inside the restaurant there was no one inside. There was a sign at the door that stated, “mask required to get inside”. The only business they were accepting was pickup or delivery. This was the “new normal” now for everybody. What was once an upbeat and social place to dine, is now a quiet empty restaurant running off a few customers at a time. I could not sit down with my dad and eat the food we had ordered. They would not allow anyone to dine inside or outside. Everyone had to just get their food and eat it somewhere else. -

Many of these images represent literal signs of the time, while others figuratively depict signs of the pandemic. -

Life In Isolation: The Coronavirus... Amber Gowen 2
An instacart screenshot seems most apt as I navigate how to figure out how to get the largest amount of needed items in the fewest outings with limited contact with people this pay period. Trying to stay safe and healthy against and invisible enemy that seems tailor made to target your weaknesses and living with people who are still required to go into work is a feeling unprecedented anxiety and vulnerability. -
