Hello! More of you have started following me in the last weeks since I last did this, so let me introduce you to YET MORE people I respect, who& #39;ve created some pandemic writing that& #39;s really stuck with me. (And do check out the original thread below.) https://twitter.com/edyong209/status/1256303440243933184">https://twitter.com/edyong209...
This @katchow piece about the loss of her uncle is eulogy and memoir, beautiful and heartbreaking, and a necessary reminder that, as Kat writes, "Time is of the essence." https://www.thecut.com/2020/05/theres-no-way-to-prepare-for-grief.html">https://www.thecut.com/2020/05/t...
As we begin to re-emerge into an uncertain world, I found @JuliaLMarcus& #39;s piece on quarantine fatigue to be a compassionate, sensible, and much-needed guide to navigating risk. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/05/quarantine-fatigue-real-and-shaming-people-wont-help/611482/">https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/arc...
Of the many pieces written about how COVID-19 is exacerbating health inequalities, I found @juliacraven& #39;s to be exceptional, combining the stories of two women against a sweeping look at centuries-old problems. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/05/covid-19-black-communities-health-disparity.html">https://slate.com/news-and-...
. @AshleyFetters& #39;s piece on how the pandemic is shaking up the wedding industry is perfectly observed, as are all of Ashley& #39;s pieces on how relationships and families are being affected. (Editors! Hire or commission Ashley! https://twitter.com/AshleyFetters/status/1263511204368130048)">https://twitter.com/AshleyFet... https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2020/05/coronavirus-could-change-weddings-years-come/611716/">https://www.theatlantic.com/family/ar...
. @ellencushing& #39;s extraordinary essay about her past as a teenage conspiracy theorist is not specifically about the pandemic but is HIGHLY relevant, and a crucial insight into the mindset that will likely become increasingly common. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/05/i-was-a-teenage-conspiracist/610975/">https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/arc...
Speaking of which, @tarahaelle& #39;s piece on how to understand and respond to the Pl*ndemic video is spot-on, informed by the evidence base on communication. (See also @BethSkw& #39;s guide: https://vitals.lifehacker.com/if-you-found-that-plandemic-video-convincing-read-th-1843339002)https://vitals.lifehacker.com/if-you-fo... href=" #44629f75fa35">https://www.forbes.com/sites/tarahaelle/2020/05/08/why-its-important-to-push-back-on-plandemic-and-how-to-do-it/ #44629f75fa35">https://www.forbes.com/sites/tar...
. @MarionRenault& #39;s piece on ICU delirium was an eye-opener for me. It& #39;s fascinating and important. This is what journalism should do: clearly and empathetically illuminate a problem that deserves more attention. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2020/05/coronavirus-icu-delirium/610546/">https://www.theatlantic.com/science/a...
. @JenSeniorNY& #39;s piece on a NY doctor& #39;s suicide, and what it says about what the medical profession goes through, is astonishing. This is SUCH a hard subject to write about well, and Jen utterly pulls it off. I hope this piece saves lives. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/03/opinion/coronavirus-doctors-mental-health.htmla">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/0...
I spoke to @ashleyshoo about how the disability community is experiencing the pandemic. Her own op/ed is essential. There is a lot of wisdom here. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01312-w">https://www.nature.com/articles/...
A lot of people in the US are wondering if they got the coronavirus in January. @rachgutman answers that question in a thoroughly reported piece that instead of shooting for easy answers, does the much harder task of delineating uncertainty. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/05/us-coronavirus-cases-january/611305/">https://www.theatlantic.com/health/ar...
Prisons are perhaps the single most important hotspot of COVID-19 in the US and this @ethiopienne& #39;s piece is a thoughtful and invaluable look at what that means and how to think about it. https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2020/04/quarantine-could-change-how-americans-think-incarceration/610831/">https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/a...
And of course the people I tagged in the first thread have continued producing incredible work. A sampling:
