Ivan Silva is an architect living in Manhattan, and regularly visits job sites and works outside his home.  When faced with the isolation that came with a full New York City lockdown, he found himself panicking and full of paranoia about the outside world, and his typically outgoing personality was challenged to make amends with the situation.
