A senior citizen, AM, was at her desk in downtown Binghamton, on March 19 when she received a phone call. "We are coming to pack you up right now, so you can work from home." She knew the pandemic had come, and she quickly packed up her desk and called her spouse while someone came to unhook her computer.

A florist and credit union next to this bakery were both closed. The world had continued on while AM had mostly stayed at home.

She walked to the front door and peered into the front lobby. It was empty.Christ Episcopal,
