    As terrible as it is that one in 500 Americans have died of Covid, it’s still much easier to have gone through the pandemic without having a close friend or family member die of it than it would be if the toll were one in 50, says @DouthatNYT. https://nyti.ms/3kjU6tR

        Fairness demands I add that the Douthat column is much more thoughtful than this tweet summary by the times would suggest.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/18/opinion/covid-coronavirus-death.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytopinion …

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        cue my stock comment about how maybe expecting people to produce a piece of opinion writing worth reading every single week is unrealistic (even for *good* writers); publications would do better to have a pool larger than the number of slots and just pick the good ones to run

        Replying to @JakeNelsonMN @digitalfox0 @HeerJeet

        This would also allow a more meaningful feedback cycle to actually filter out the bad content because not everything would need to be, or expected to be, published.
