There is *so much* coronavirus content out there; it's incredibly overwhelming. I did this last week, and people seemed to like it, so here's the best, most cogent, most compelling things I read this week:
1) A true tour de force from @Millicentsomer, on "essential" workers: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/04/coronavirus-deaths-essential-workers.html
2) *The* piece that evidences, over and over again, that it didn't have to go down this way: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2020/04/04/coronavirus-government-dysfunction/?arc404=true
3) My fav piece in the "here's what someone who's endured a lot of isolation" genre, by far: https://www.npr.org/2020/04/01/824001085/tips-from-someone-with-50-years-of-social-distancing-experience
4) Never has it been more clear that what is happening to those who are experiencing homelessness cannot be separated from society at large: https://www.vox.com/2020/4/1/21200473/coronavirus-covid-19-homelessness-housing-public-health-social-distancing
5) The case for and against routines right now: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/how-coronavirus-screwing-our-sense-time/608974/

7) The best explainer for why our medical supply chain is so fucked, from @sarahkliff on The Daily: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/31/podcasts/the-daily/coronavirus-medical-supplies-shortages.html
8) The beautiful piece of writing I'm going to keep with me for the week to come, from @cncep: https://www.newyorker.com/news/on-religion/the-gospel-in-a-time-of-social-distancing
