About one year ago, the World Health Organization officially declared the coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic, and life around the world and in New York came to a screeching halt.
March 9 was the first warm day in central New York last year and students at Syracuse University couldn’t resist the sunshine. Senior Josh Shub-Seltzer skipped class and spent the entire day on the lawn outside Psi Upsilon’s fraternity house and even watched the sunset from its steps at the day’s end.
“I spent the entire day on my front lawn hanging out with friends… and part of me was like, I should make the most of this just in case,” he said. “I m very glad I did.”
