With equal parts boredom and wanting to document everything, I've decided to begin a weekly Sunday segment where I post 5 stories that you may have missed this week - providing context and shouting out some incredible writers
Important pieces on COVID-19 in no particular order this week:
1.) 1,000s of British nationals have been left stranded Pakistan for the past two weeks - there's an ongoing repatriation crisis questioning the lack of charter flights after £75 million was unveiled for coronavirus rescue missions https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/10/lisa-nandy-seeks-urgent-meeting-with-dominic-raab-over-covid-19-repatriations
You can follow: @lisaocarroll , @nimrashahid_ and @thebrownhijabi for more updates and information about this because they've all been documenting this as it continues
2.) Portraits of Quarantine in the Arctic by @nicpollock for @TheAtlantic -- really insightful and great video! https://www.theatlantic.com/video/index/609736/arctic-portraits/
3.) As the lockdown continues in Tunisia people are having to cope with food insecurity as unemployment worsens. @AJEnglish https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/04/food-tunisians-struggle-coronavirus-lockdown-200411142312791.html
. @SofiaBarbarani wrote a really important report about the situation in Tunisia that everyone should read as more countries deal with the virus and all social-economic problems that are coming to the centre
4.) More general but incredible reporting by @StephenGrey & @AndyMacaskill on this @Reuters special report on how we got here and the government's slow response https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-health-coronavirus-britain-path-speci/special-report-johnson-listened-to-his-scientists-about-coronavirus-but-they-were-slow-to-sound-the-alarm-idUKKBN21P1X8
In the same vein, the @guardian 's '100 days that changed the world' interactive piece by @safimichael is incredibly important https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2020/apr/08/coronavirus-100-days-that-changed-the-world
5.) 'Sex Work Comes Home' is a really important reporting on cam models in the age of Coronavirus by @gabrielledrolet for @nytimes https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/10/style/camsoda-onlyfans-streaming-sex-coronavirus.html
