Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, the sight of hazmat suits even on screen triggers anxiety in me.

I am never reading dystopian fiction again. And I am never watching movies about pandemics, which I had previously thought fantastical, again either. There is no need to turn to either of these as this 21-day-long lockdown to contain COVID-19 spread has made our life imitate art in a very disturbing way.

Empty streets, masked people in queues outside grocery stores and pharmacies, eerily quiet playgrounds and public parks, and a daily ticker to keep track of the number of deaths across the world – this is our present reality.
