Correction: An earlier version of this newsletter suggested we're switching to full-time Covid coverage. Not so! With all that's happening, we're simply switching to six days of newsletters, not five—to give you all the news and not-news we're known for. Today's edition is virus-heavy, but expect plenty of culture and oddities going forward. Sorry for the mixup. 👍
