I'm nominating this article for the Rosen Prize in explanatory writing. Rules for awarding the prize combine three factors: clarity in explanation, yes, but also underlying complexity of the thing being explained, AND urgency of the subject to the public.https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/09/k-overlooked-variable-driving-pandemic/616548/ …

Also, joking aside, The Atlantic has been letting me write ~5K word articles on all this... On airborne transmission/ventilation & on significance of probability distributions. Too much public writing is too short and too simplified. There *is* demand for more of this.

Amen. A spectacularly helpful article and one that I am forwarding to colleagues, parents, ...etc. We are already subscribers to The Atlantic and I suspect that there will be additional subscribers as a result of your article. This kind of journalism is irreplaceable.
