All the blogs and newsletters to which I subscribe have been piling up amidst living through all the SARS-CoV-2 stuff. I’ve mostly just been hanging out on IRC with people from my first-ever online community. Here’s a list of maybe-interesting stuff that I just pulled as I culled the backlog before it ended up a week deep.

• The ‘Chinese Flu’ Is Part of a Long History of Racializing Disease

• We’re not going back to normal

• Why is this interesting? - The Viral Time Edition

• Pandemics and pandemonium

• Time for some completely unhelpful game theory

Also, Willamette Week has something of a look at just how Oregon Governor Kate Brown’s response frequently has managed to be so indecisive and confusing.
