I analyze the “two rates of urbanization” since 2010 to assess the progress of the hukou reforms. See: 中国常住人口城镇化率与户籍人口城镇化率之差的变化趋势 (https://t.co/cq2R1aofPh)

China's new data from the census underlie the greater urgency to consider all children, including those of migrants, very precious. My 2019 piece on that: https://t.co/Nj3td4mH42

This is an informative piece about the mask debate

[Kam Wing Chan @kamwchan]

This is a beautiful mask video that can save some lives - urgent! https://t.co/4i8VhNWLd6

[Kam Wing Chan @kamwchan]

A beautiful picture of masked people in Seattle, from a story in Seattle Times today about community and families helping produce and provide more masks in the region.

[Kam Wing Chan @kamwchan]

This piece gives some % of asymptomatic carriers, much higher than we thought:

[Kam Wing Chan @kamwchan]

Not needing to wear a mask for 'healthy' people? Read this piece. Many of them are asymptomatic carriers too!

[Kam Wing Chan @kamwchan]

That seems to be edging towards absurdity: on this front-page story in Seattle Times yesterday detailing the plight of grocery workers: "Some have said their managers have barred them from wearing masks or gloves because it would look bad." Looks or lives, at this time?!
