Description:
Toronto's Immersive Van Gogh exhibition allows audiences to experience art from the comfort of their car.
Producers had to rethink how people would experience the show in light of social-distancing restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Tickets for the drive-in experience start at around 95 Canadian dollars ($70, £56).
The exhibition opened in Paris and had over two million visitors there.

medRxiv scholarly article (17 April 2020) - Time course quantitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 in Parisian wastewaters correlates with COVID-19 confirmed cases

From the abstract:
"Since many SARS-CoV-2 carriers are assumed to exhibit no or few non-specific symptoms, SARS-CoV-2 circulation among human populations may be detected too lately and only when massive human testing is available or when clinal COVID-19 cases are reported. This is obviously a major pitfall for evaluating and possibly controlling the current epidemic. Due to the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in stool samples qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewaters has recently been proposed as a complementary tool to investigate the virus circulation in human populations. If this assumption is correct, SARS-CoV-2 relative amounts in wastewaters should correlate with the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases. To test this hypothesis, we performed a time-course quantitative analysis of SARS-CoV2 by RT-qPCR in 23 raw and 8 treated wastewater samples collected from 3 major wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) of the Parisian area collecting 3 to 4 million inhabitants reject. This study was conducted from 5 March to 7 April 2020."
