NATHANIEL R in COVID19, Hope Gap, NYC, texting

Last night I received this text from a friend who is a doctor here in Manhattan working in the hospitals (yeah). I thought I'd share it in camaraderie for all of you struggling out there... 

Take care of yourselves out there. Call a friend if you're down.

 

*on a tangential non-existential mental health note: Hope Gap (reviewed at TIFF) was one of those films that had the misfortune to open in March just as theaters were about to close. Who knew at the time the marketing team was creating this poster that Annette Bening and Bill Nighy were already practicising social distancing. Well, it's not quite six feet apart but they're miles apart emotionally as you'll see in the movie (should you ever see the movie) which revolves around a marriage that's already over... though one of the spouses refuses to admit it.
