America, we’ve never seen you like this before. Bustling commercial centers and corporate campuses are barren; main streets and malls are black holes. To stop the spread of infection and “flatten the curve,” nearly everything is shuttered: movie theaters and schools, factories and restaurants, mom-and-pop spots and big box chains. Only the hospitals are buzzing—and the funeral parlors.

美国，我们从未见过你这样。繁华的商业中心和企业园区一片荒芜;主要街道和购物中心是黑洞。为了阻止感染的蔓延和“拉平曲线”，几乎所有的东西都关闭了:电影院和学校，工厂和餐馆，夫妻店和大盒子连锁店。只有医院和殡仪馆还在营业。
