Philadelphia, USA lockdown sound by Kelsey Donato.

"In the past three weeks in the city of Philadelphia, PA I have seen essential businesses do everything they can to make shopping experiences safe for workers and patrons. 

"I have seen restaurants and bars working hard long hours to deliver or provide take out meals. I have seen communities take initiative and start their own help systems to make sure everyone is getting what they need. 

"I have seen people's fear manifested as anger. I have seen people who are careful, I have seen people who are not. 

"I have seen rainbows around the city that symbolize hope. I have read signs filled with love and encouragement. I have been in more frequent contact with friends throughout the city. 

"I have felt more strongly about supporting local businesses. And I have fallen more in love with the city that I live in."
