Summary
Afraid of contagion? Stand six feet from the protester, and it will only make a more powerful image on TV. To be more precise, this was what I was seeing in the many photographs that were making up the daily news. Photographs of empty piazzas in Rome and Venice were filling up my news feed. New York’s Times Square appeared to be at a complete and total standstill (Figure 1). As of March 2020, public life in the streets of most financial capitals had been put on hold for the foreseeable future. Was the word being used over and over again in the headlines.1 It seems that those sitting at home needed to be haunted—though not necessarily by what once was.
