COVID as Copy and Paste A meditation on coronavirus, this newsletter format has been stolen with pride from Carmen Maria Machado’s In the Dream House,* thanks also due to The Artist's Way. COVID as Boiled Frog In January, my dear father, a pulmonologist and public health expert, took on the mantle of Nigerian Paul Revere; I first stopped shaking hands during business meetings in Paris in late February. My employer banned business travel the first week of March and sent everyone home five days later; I have spent nearly one month in London “sheltering in place.” I am familiar with the earliest forms of restrictions, and bracing for the next. I am grateful for my safety.
