New York mourns the artists lost to Covid-19 – and dares to ponder its future

Singers and impresarios have died, and with them has gone a cultural moment. How will the city respond when the pandemic has waned? Coronavirus – latest updates See all our coronavirus coverage The streets of Manhattan are empty, the skyline brittle, and the subways populated only by healthcare workers, the mentally ill and homeless. The Covid-19 pandemic has cleared out wealthy parts of the metropolis, transitory at the best of times. On the streets, masked strangers treat each other warily, invoking a previous era of economic desolation and prudent social separation.
