COVID-19 Diaries: After Pandemic, What Kind of World Will Emerge?

Henry Ridgwell

   LONDON - British people love to talk about the weather. Never more so
   than when they're locked in their houses, it seems.

   With perfect irony, the sun hasn't stopped shining since the
   coronavirus lockdown began on March 23 -- and everyone's talking about
   it. It's been unseasonably warm, with temperatures in London topping 25
   degrees Celsius. For those with gardens or with easy access to the
   countryside, the fine weather has been a perfect antidote to the
   mind-spinning news headlines; nature, at its finest in spring, has been
   a tonic for many. For those living in cities, particularly in high-rise
   apartments, the sunshine has only underlined the claustrophobia of
   confinement.
