Plague Journal

Description (Dublin Core)

Gavin McCormick is a reporter, writer, and professor who lives in Brooklyn. Since early March 2020, when his family entered quarantine, he has been keeping a daily COVID-19 journal. Created with no plan beyond tracking the world, his life, and his mind at an unusual moment, journal entries encompass daily life with his family, including his 12-year-old daughter and his girlfriend; family history; reportage of pandemic life in Brooklyn, including of quarantine, economic collapse, and #BLM protests; observations on education, journalism, and politics; discussions of cooking and music; and reflections on connection and loss, all during a time of intense social unease.
