'After two weeks of isolation, I ventured out onto the streets of New York, where I saw boarded-up stores, people wearing face masks and everyone eyeing other a bit warily.' One Vogue editor emerges from her quarantine into a city that seemed changed:
I got sick on the 21st of March. One second, I was getting dressed up like Phoebe Philo and planning a walk all the way from the Upper West Side to Midtown, and the next I was cocooning in an oversized T-shirt and crying. It started with a cough, and a fever quickly followed. When I was sure I was sick, I texted my Dad, “Don’t tell mom, but I have a cough and Don says I feel a bit warm. So I’m definitely not coming home.
I’m pretty sure, as the doctors we spoke with were, that I had COVID-19. But I don’t know for sure. I didn’t have a severe enough case to go to the hospital, and I didn’t want to leave my apartment at all. When my boyfriend, Don, called the medical center at his university, they said something along the lines of “we’re assuming people in New York with flu-like symptoms have corona.” They almost laughed when he asked if he could get a test, in a “yeah buddy, you and everyone else,” kind of way.
Once-busy interactions are all but empty, except for a few face-mask-wearing pedestrians, warily eyeing strangers who get too close.But things were not as I remembered them just two weeks earlier. The first change I noticed was that the doorman’s station in my lobby was protected by atablecloth extending out six feet—a physical barrier with Anna and Elsa smiling happily from it. I waved, from a careful distance.
But going outside made me so happy. I have a horrible fear of pigeons, but I was excited to feel scared of them again. I got to Riverside Park and a knot lodged itself in my throat, and I knew I would cry while I was there. Weeping feels therapeutic. I cry so much it’s kind of like sneezing—involuntary, necessary, and sometimes meaningless. The day before, I had watchedand when Chessy realizes that the 11-year-old girl in front of her is Annie, not Hallie, I bawled.
