The coronavirus pandemic has dramatically altered daily life around the globe. Stores are shut, streets quiet, restaurants closed, face masks ubiquitous, and supermarket aisles empty.

Phrases like social distancing and self-isolation have made their way into the public consciousness. In some places, like Thailand’s capital Bangkok, people diligently follow the rules of social distancing — even sitting feet apart from each other in neat grids in mall food courts.

In other places like Japan, where the popular cherry blossom season is underway, social distancing doesn’t appear to have taken hold yet.

There were similar scenes in the United States, where more than a dozen states have imposed stay-at-home orders. Last weekend, crowds gathered on beaches, hiking trails, and parks in California, in open defiance of the state-wide order to shelter in place and avoid close contact with others.

Meanwhile, in places like mainland China, coronavirus case numbers continue to drop every day — leading to a cautious easing of travel restrictions and strict lockdowns.

Businesses in China are returning to work, and even tourist sites are reopening — the Badaling section of the Great Wall is finally open again this week, after being closed for two months.
