What an amazing read.

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

In a new report spanning nearly the entirety of this week’s issue, Lawrence Wright looks back at the yearlong catastrophe of the COVID-19 pandemic, and at the fatal missteps—and heroic efforts—that defined the U.S.’s response. https://t.co/NCcG4cW04u

@ThisAmerLife @iraglass @ApplePodcasts I listened to the Paris episode when it came out, and again today. I enjoyed it even more now. Thank you for the perfect flashback and congrats on 25 years of great stories.

I have held off using the f word for three and a half years, but there is no longer any honest alternative. Trump is a fascist, and he is promoting fascism in America.

New York needs 30,000 ventilators.

It will be the difference between life and death.

The federal government must provide these ventilators.

Only the federal government has the power to deliver.

[Archive: Governor Andrew Cuomo @NYGovCuomo]

I do not understand the reluctance to use the federal Defense Production Act to manufacture ventilators.

If not now, when?

@jiatolentino One of the best things I've read in a long time.

@MeghanMcCain I lost my dad in 2016. We were close friends and talked daily. Now that the pain and his memory are a bit more distant I realize time has been my best and worst friend. Just wanted to say that I empathize with you.
