1/ A thread on the future + the pandemic:

2/ Now read The Vaccine War by @Noahpinion: https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/the-vaccine-war

3/ Lastly, read "New Defaults," by @stratechery, to understand what we should learn from COVID about how society should function, and recognize we have an opportunity to apply these learnings... right now... as we fight the second battle with the virus.
