The world has stood still. The streets lie empty and schools are closed. All work has dried up and people keep whispering the word 'corona' all the time. Jamlo walks down a long and hot road, alongside hundreds of other men and women and children whom Tara sees on TV. Jamlo walks as Rahul watches the streets turn quiet.
