Hello from my living room in South Minneapolis. Thanks, everyone, for answering my questions about how we'll go from here. The title of this blog was a comment by one of your colleagues in response to my check in with you at the beginning of this online school adventure. I thought it was a very efficient way to describe where we all are right now. Overwhelmingly, you told me you want to study this pandemic in the context of our coursework. This page will collect resources that we can all use to maintain our balanced media diets. I'd appreciate your help. If you come across a cool map, a particularly insightful analysis, etc. please send it to me through the comments here or via email. I'll get it out here for everyone to see. If you have a question about the pandemic and its effect on everyone on the planet, please post it in the comments. We've been using GIS to map the coronavirus in real time. Most of these maps are updated daily. They show an astonishing spread of COVID-19, especially in the United States. You know I've been making masks at the request of my local hospital. Never in a million years did I imagine I would be doing this. We're talking more about masks lately than any of us have before, ever. [The Atlantic's coverage of the pandemic, in my opinion, has been outstanding--and it's free to everyone] A few weeks ago I recommended this excellent piece from Foreign Affairs. See if you can identify some of the things we've all learned since. Looking back is just as important as trying to look forward in this situation: we will learn from history. And finally, what are all those sportscasters up to now that sports are cancelled? Andrew Cotter from BBC Sport is finding competition everywhere. "Olive focused, relentless, tasting absolutely nothing!" Your teacher has watched that at least 20 times in the last four days. More to come. Hope you're all well, friends.
