Over the past few weeks, just about every last person on Earth has been touched by the coronavirus pandemic in one way or the other. One exception, however, is the people who voluntarily disconnected — by going on extended hiking trips, for example — before the pandemic became a problem. Those people are re-entering a world that has been completely turned upside down by the virus.
California man Mason Thomas and his girlfriend, Kate Condino, left civilization in mid-February for a 25-day rafting trip down the Colorado River, through the Grand Canyon.
At the time, the narrative of the coronavirus pandemic was largely limited to stories coming out of Asia. Words and phrases like “social distancing” and “flatten the curve” hadn’t yet entered the country’s vocabulary.
