A combination opinion/photo essay by columnist Maureen Dowd and photo editor Kathy Ryan shows the pandemic emptied New York Times newsroom in black and white.

Editor’s Note: Have you noticed that the phrase “the last eighteen months” has been used to describe the length of the pandemic for about the last three months? How can that be true?
