That's interesting, Chris. I've just checked, and Huffduffer is picking up only my domain, and none of the other links present as rel="me" on my Home page. I wander what the difference is. Might need to ask @adactio.

Just wondering, what's so bad, the way Hans sees it, about the way Italy has handled the coronavirus?

G-FEED: COVID-19 reduces economic activity, which reduces pollution, which saves lives.

"I calculate that the reductions in air pollution in China caused by this economic disruption likely saved 20-times more lives in China than have currently been lost due to the virus in that country"

Oh boy! Data analysis rocks.

Get political reporters off the coronavirus story because they don't distinguish between right and wrong | Press Watch

[W]hen they’re just talking smack, maybe the best thing to do would be to ignore them – and instead rely on sources who actually know what they’re talking about and reporters who know enough about health and science and reality to discern between what’s true and what’s not.

That would be almost all the time, right?

Replied to a post on matigo.ca :

There's much to applaud in Jason's write-up of a university student's efforts to show people in Japan where positive responses to the coronavirus are. And one thing to abhor, and that's the description of "a foreign virus running rampant". The virus may have had an origin elsewhere, but there is no sense in which a pathogen can be considered foreign. This sort of wording legitimises xenophobia.

Nice idea, but anecdotally, the few people on Twitter whom I’ve asked have said they don’t have a blog of their own.

Wait a minute. Are the campaign to abolish recipe headnotes and the campaign to insist on listening to podcasts at 1x somehow related? I'm not going to tell anyone what to do with their time. Listen at any speed you like; but listen. @kathrynw5 @nwquah
