This Surreal Drone Footage Shows Just How Empty The Streets Of Baltimore Are Due To The Pandemic

We hope everybody is staying safe and staying at home if you're able to. If you think your neighborhood has been quiet, just wait until you see the quiet and almost completely empty streets of Baltimore. The following drone footage by Youtube user F&L Views shows the harbor, Federal Hill Park, and other iconic attractions looking nearly desolate. Until we flatten the curve of COVID-19 and stay at home orders are lifted, these bare sights are our new normal. Read on to see the surreal photos and then watch the full video at the end.

Baltimore's Inner Harbor and surrounding areas currently look like the set of a post-apocalyptic television show or movie. Although usually bustling with tourists and locals, the streets are now nearly barren due to stay at home orders.

While we're staying at home to help flatten the curve of COVID-19, local attractions like the National Aquarium and more are closed, with no more lines out the door.

There's not a soul playing basketball, and nobody admiring the whimsical structures at the American Visionary Art Museum.

Federal Hill Park is usually busy with folks admiring the views. Now, you'll see a lone jogger here and there, and nothing else.

Bare sports fields are a reminder of just how serious things are. Despite how sad these views may make you, you can also see it as a positive thing, as Marylanders are doing their part to help end this historic pandemic.

Watch the full drone footage video below. Stay home. Stay safe. Save lives.
