The coronavirus lockdown in spring 2020 sent underpaid "essential workers" to the front lines to face possible illness and death, and locked people in "high risk groups" - if they were lucky - into isolation at home. The spring, usually a time of joyful resurgence of life, rushed by at a snail's pace, an agonized wait for the curves to flatten or the virus to run its course.

A memento mori for life in the time of Coronavirus, 2020.
