All my papers are late. All my emails go unanswered until a second poke, except a tiny random sample that I answer within one hot second. All birthday wishes are belated. My grants go in late or not at all. Workouts have gone out the window. So have quotas on chocolate.

You might hear people saying it isn't real. It is.
You might hear people saying it isn't bad. It is.

And every day I'll come to work for you

How #COVIDー19 finds #Haiti?
- 2.5 million in extreme poverty
- 3.6 million face food insecurity
- 4.6 million in need for urgent humatarian assistance
How to ask someone living with less than 2 USD per to stay home? What kind of support you plan for them? @moisejovenel

We can now read the Imperial College report on COVID-19 that led to the extreme measures we've seen in the US this week. Read it; it's terrifying. I'll offer a summary in this thread; please correct me if I've gotten it wrong.
