It's deathly quiet in MI.

3. It is strange, isn't it?

A very similar situation here. I was out on bike rides throughout the city these past couple of days and the desertion is bizarre.

What is even more unnerving, to me, is that everyone has become uncommunicative, standoffish, and suspicious when passing each other on the sidewalk. This is not how things normally are... It makes me feel wilted and distressed, as the lack of smiles and kindly regard makes an unfortunate situation take the form of direness.
