Covid-19

I spent my weekend learning about Covid-19. In this era of information overload, we just need to be picky. There's so much junk out there. Yet, there are some useful stuff. Twitter can be useful - if you follow the right persons. Some experts are kind enough to provide helpful information, and there are nice services in Twitter that compile the tweets into a thread. Please lookup: @drjenndwod, @davidsinclair, @aikhwaja, @NAChristakis - and many others, you just have to judge yourself. From podcasts, I've been listening to CNN's Sanjay Gupta and ABC's Coronacast. Two latest podcasts from Sam Harris are also great, especially the one with Nicholas Christakis. For economists, VoxEU has published an ebook, edited by Richard Baldwin and Beatrice di Mauro. 

I might also rewatch Contagion.
