Mapping Your World<\/h1>\n

June 9, 2020<\/em><\/p>\n

How has your world changed in the time of COVID-19? Where have you been spending the last 3 months? How has your routine, and the places you visit, changed under distancing and isolation?<\/p>\n

CityLab<\/a> and The Tyee<\/a> asked their readers to map their new worlds. Here are some examples: <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We are on the edge of a beautiful regional wilderness and animals come down out of the hills all the time. We share our space with bobcats, deer, raccoons, coyotes, wild turkeys and Canada geese, among others. We are taking four- to five-mile walks that we never did before, and are really seeing the wild hills around us for the first time. The red lines on the map indicate some of the very steep uphills that we encounter on our daily walks.<\/em>

I’ve been mostly confined to my home. I have no dog, and I live alone. My walks to the supermarket have been every 10 days, more or less. Before the government loosened the rules, my home had become my neighborhood and world in general.<\/em>

I made drawings of the places I frequently visit around my house. Connecting the images is a red string, which represents the use of my phone. The idea came to me after I constantly found myself scrolling on TikTok or Instagram, and being on my phone in general.<\/em>

We have three adults working from home (and one more as an essential worker), two of whom are also studying part-time. Our entire neighborhood (or should I say world) has been shrunk down into just our home, and on the periphery are the nearest supermarket and our preferred walking routes around our home. Rather than waving and greeting each other as we leave and return home, we just wave to each other through the windows, if we happen to see each other.<\/em>
