Covid - a day in the life
Subway closed for disinfection (and possibly to reduce the number of homeless people sleeping on trains) during Covid-19. A significant change for the city and its residents.

"It is what it is"-Trump: 200,000+ COVID-19 Deaths
Trump; death; Axios interview; Jonathan Swan; denial
Inside what appears to be a large frame, is a wheatpasting of a smiling Donald Trump, who is giving a thumbs up. Stenciled next to this image reads "It is what it is-Trump." In large type, next to both of these reads "200,000+ COVID19 Deaths" in red spray paint that has dripped downward in a gruesome fashion. The artist notes on Instagram: "Trump on the US COVID-19 death toll during a July 28th interview with Axios' Jonathan Swan - "It is what it is." Current USA death toll is now over 200,000."

23rd March 2020, The Day Shit Went Tits Up

"'23rd March 2020, The Day shit went tits up' 🙃
👉 Today marks one year since the start of the UK’s first lockdown. The measures were the toughest restrictions on our way of life in living memory. Back then, less than 1,000 people had died. That figure has now risen to 126,000.
âš°ï¸ To remember the victims, some are calling for 23rd of March to become a national #covidmemorialday
🕛 This evening, the end of life charity @mariecurieuk are encouraging members of the public to stand on their doorsteps with phones, candles and torches to signify a ‘beacon of remembrance’.
ðŸ“WORD ON THE STREETðŸ“posted this image already last year, but it would like to thank @cjmanford again for taking it in Queens Park, Harpurhey, Manchester, 09.2020.
