  25. Shouting out this important paragraph from this week's #ThreatModelCovid by @violetblue :

    "You can count on one hand the outlets taking Covid coverage seriously, or not pretending like it's 'just the flu,' or just a thing that happened to someone else, once. This is one of the few resources for honest news and information about a new virus that's still reshaping our world, our healthcare systems, our families, and our futures."
