Photo: Roy Rochlin/Getty Images New York’s first truly warm day of the year occurred last weekend, when the temperature crept above 75, what I call anti-clog weather .

Summer in New York is more than a season; it brings with it a different mode of being, a certain kind of freedom. A city that, in colder months, can feel closed and claustrophobic, like a stack of shipping containers, mired by commuters and gridlock, suddenly gets twice as big: We can sit outside, walk to work, fill up parks.
One thing we can do is mourn it, properly. We can be honest with ourselves that, no matter how stoic we are, missing out on summer is, yes, a sacrifice. But it’s one we have to make: Testing is still not widespread enough in most places, with populations largely still vulnerable to infection, according to studies. There is a very serious risk, if cities open up too quickly, that we will endure a second wave of cases.
