Covering coronavirus
August 30, 2020
Covering coronavirus is difficult.
For one problem, the New York City-style images of so many dead bodies space to put them
runs out - and they have to be put into refrigerated truck trailers - simply don’t exist to be shot
in much of America.
For another, whether it really is a “pandemic” is seriously debatable - as Sweden kept and can
keep normal society without huge losses. It certainly isn’t the Black Plague II.
So what can you shoot - where you are? Images of the official panic abound; restaurants with
huge signs out front when they were or are being allowed to reopen, yard signs thanking nurses
and doctors, etc. College campuses and “college towns” where students flout rules requiring
masks or prohibit large parties.
The images certainly are out there - anywhere in the U.S. - to be shot.
