Description:"Today, London is quieter than I have ever known it to be. The skies above undisturbed by the noise of planes, no white vapour trails scratching the brilliant blue. The East Coast mainline normally rumbles with heavy goods trains punctuated by the shattering sound of fast inter-city services, but not for the last two weeks. Normally, the day is interrupted by at least one low-level fly-over by a police helicopter, but not recently. The hum of traffic is notably subdued, as when snow falls, muffling sound, preventing vehicles from moving around the city. This quieting, however, is not a sign that the city is calmer, rested, at peace. Instead, the quiet feels more like frustration, determination and a low level anxiety that threatens to break cover. As I wait patiently in the queue for my local supermarket, I am paying attention to who is - and who is not - wearing face coverings, but especially noting the facemasks. Facemasks are as sure a measure of the level of anxiety and fear in the city as the intensification of the policing of bodies (which is not only conducted by the Police). I know I am 2 metres back from the person in front of me and that the person behind me is 2m away from me. I know because the pavement has suddenly become covered in sticky tape that tells bodies where they should be. Sometimes, there are big stickers with footprints, "stand here" they instruct. I am self-policing. I stand where I should, as do most people. Some people do not. They are policed: the supermarket has employed a company that, judging by their jackets, normally stewards entertainment events. A woman in a high vis jacket, continually adjusting her ill-fitting facemask, waves us forward, then halts us, with only the use of her right arm. The queue dutifully obeys these wordless commands"--We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
