I see a novel playing out. A bird's eye view of the sprawling highways in a major US city shows them completely empty and lifeless in broad daylight. It all starts out by companies canceling events and conferences. The shutdowns also spread to concerts. Eventually, a gathering of any size, even live music at a local bar, is banned. This happens in a time-span of just over a month. Schools shut down and students are told to communicate over Google classroom. Families self quarantined themselves. The stock market wildly goes up and down.
