  • 🔗 How the Pandemic Now Ends

    Cases of COVID-19 are rising fast. Vaccine uptake has plateaued. The pandemic will be over one day—but the way there is different now.
    Most people will meet the virus eventually; we want to ensure that as many people as possible do so with two doses of vaccine in them, and that everyone else does so over as much time as possible.

    That's what I've been thinking with the latest surge in Japan. I’ll probably get it, but at least I got my shots so my immune system isn’t completely  naive.

  • 🔗 My Unusually Normal Life in Taiwan Amid the Global Pandemic

    As videos circulated of rebellious Americans refusing the most basic of precautions under the pretense of freedom, Taiwan shook its collective head and nodded at what real freedom looked like: the ability to have a drink at a bar without fear of catching a deadly airborne illness.
    I get this same feeling, even from Japan. I wish the government hadn't let the Olympics dictate their lack of action – we could have been the same as Taiwan and New Zealand.
