From California to Colorado to Georgia and upstate New York, Americans are taking a moment each night at 8 p.m. to howl in a quickly spreading ritual that has become a wrenching response of a society cut off from one another by the coronavirus pandemic. In Colorado, Gov. Jared Polis has encouraged residents
1 / 7Virus Outbreak HowlingIn this Wednesday, April 8, 2020, photograph, Brice Maiurro, back, hugs Shelsea Ochoa after they led a howl in Cheesman Park in Denver as a statewide stay-at-home order remained in effect in an effort to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. DENVER — It starts with a few people letting loose with some tentative yelps.
In Colorado, Gov. Jared Polis has encouraged residents to participate. Children who miss their classmates and backyard dogs join in, their own yowls punctuated by the occasional fireworks, horn blowing and bell ringing. “The virus’ impact is very different for everyone, and this is a way to say, 'This sucks,’ and get it out in a loud way,” Cypers said. “Just being able to scream and shout and let out pent-up grief and loss is important. Little kids, on the other hand, are really enjoying this.”
“There’s no wrong way to do it,” said Ochoa. “People can subscribe any kind of meaning they want to it.”Health care workers are grateful for the support — and the nightly moment’s relief from the stresses of their work. In downtown Los Angeles, thousands of people yell, scream, cheer, applaud and flash lights from their apartment balconies and windows, thanks in large part to Patti Berman, president of the Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council, who promotes the ritual conceived by council communications director Marcus Lovingood.
