A great piece about left-behind children in China. wsj.com/world/china/ch…. The total number of LBC in 2020, according to my tabulation, was 89.2 million (see Table 1 in faculty.washington.edu/kwchan/Chan-mi…)

China's new data from the census underlie the greater urgency to consider all children, including those of migrants, very precious. My 2019 piece on that: tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.108…

This is an informative piece about the mask debate hongkongfp.com/2020/03/28/i-w…

This is a beautiful mask video that can save some lives - urgent! youtube.com/watch?v=HhNo_I…

A beautiful picture of masked people in Seattle, from a story in Seattle Times today about community and families helping produce and provide more masks in the region.

This piece gives some % of asymptomatic carriers, much higher than we thought: scmp.com/news/china/soc…

Not needing to wear a mask for 'healthy' people? Read this piece. Many of them are asymptomatic carriers too! nytimes.com/2020/03/17/opi…

That seems to be edging towards absurdity: on this front-page story in Seattle Times yesterday detailing the plight of grocery workers: "Some have said their managers have barred them from wearing masks or gloves because it would look bad." Looks or lives, at this time?!
