There is *so much* coronavirus content out there; it& #39;s incredibly overwhelming. I did this last week, and people seemed to like it, so here& #39;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">https://slate.com/news-and-...
Who Do We Expect to Sacrifice?

This country has deposited its massive, collapsing weight on a small, utterly unsupported group.

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& #39;t have to go down this way: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2020/04/04/coronavirus-government-dysfunction/?arc404=true">https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-...
The U.S. was beset by denial and dysfunction as the coronavirus raged

From the White House to the CDC, political and institutional failures cascaded through the system and opportunities to mitigate the pandemic were lost.

3) My fav piece in the "here& #39;s what someone who& #39;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">https://www.npr.org/2020/04/0...

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">https://www.vox.com/2020/4/1/...
"Shelter in place" is impossible if you can’t afford a home

If we don’t protect America’s homeless from coronavirus, we all pay the price.

5) The case for and against routines right now: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/how-coronavirus-screwing-our-sense-time/608974/">https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/arc...
The Routines That Keep Us Sane

More than most, writers have experience with what the poet May Sarton called “a limbo that needs to be patterned from within,” and they provide us with some relevant case studies in how to weave that...

6) @edyong209 on why everyone thinks they& #39;re right about the masks: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/04/coronavirus-pandemic-airborne-go-outside-masks/609235/">https://www.theatlantic.com/health/ar...
Everyone Thinks They’re Right About Masks

How the coronavirus travels through the air has become one of the most divisive debates in this pandemic.

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">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/3...
Why the U.S. Is Running Out of Medical Supplies

Health care is a private industry in the U.S., and hospitals are businesses designed to maximize profit, not respond to a pandemic.

8) The beautiful piece of writing I& #39;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">https://www.newyorker.com/news/on-r...
The Gospel in a Time of Social Distancing

Turning outward to one another as the coronavirus locks us down.
