Lockdown Empty city centre streets. Hushed motorways flowing free. Neighbours talk from doorsteps. Quiet, blue skies bereft of trails. Spring pressing on, oblivious. Behind the mask of peace: Frantic procurement, Venues with new unnerving purpose, Daily totals count the costs, Scientists chase fast track answers, Medics strive. Two views of staying alive.
