    In A Pandemic, Hesitation Is Doom

    Columnists Joe Conason - 0

    While the emergence of yet another troubling coronavirus variant seems abrupt, it was entirely predictable – and fully anticipated here and elsewhere. More than predictable, the mutation of the virus will remain inevitable for so long as it continues to infect millions of human hosts.

    Columnists Susan Estrich - 0

    It is my first time traveling since the pandemic – my first plane ride, my first trip in from the airport, my first hotel stay. It feels like a big deal. I – who flew across the country every week for years – am scared. Of what, I don’t know. There is a lesson here, […]
