I wouldn't be shocked if in a month or so we hear the Olympics are canceled as well.

This is so surreal. There are just some places that feel strange when they are that empty. Like Times Square or Disneyland.

Apparently the term to describe the unease And surreal quality is Kenopsia. Thank you u/walusqueegee for the info!
