Stories from USA and Spain. Brian Truglio is a TV documentary editor based outside of Boston, Massachusetts in the United States. When he spoke with Mark he was right in the eye of the Coronavirus storm in so far as he is editing, from home, a TV documentary for 'Frontline' which airs on PBS later in April. His parents are in Florida where it's pretty much business as usual. Mariana Moncasi is based in the Spanish capital of Madrid. At the time of recording she was observing the nationwide lock down, although still attending for work each day via the now near empty subway. As of now, over 10,000 Spaniards have died from Covid-19. Mariana speaks with passion and honesty about her country's plight. As with all of our contributors, Mariana is reflecting on life before and after this pandemic and talks about the new people's anthem that communities sing every night at 8.00pm nightly in unison, from their windows and balconies, to pay their gratitude to the frontline healthcare and other essential workers.
