Inspired by today's news that the World Health Organization is finally acknowledging that diseases like COVID spread through the air, I'm retweeting this thread of mine from almost exactly 4 years ago. My heart is with every person who lost a loved one because it took so long.

What would you do if there was a miracle drug for your baby's disease—but you couldn't get it? I wrote about the pregnant moms trying to get a cystic fibrosis drug for their unborn babies, and the lengths they've been willing to go. theatlantic.com/health/archive…
@joe_pickrell There is a published (similar) estimate here: nature.com/articles/s4146…
While reporting this story, I heard about a few pregnant moms who went great lengths to take a new cystic fibrosis drug for their baby. I found this so fascinating because we're usually so cautious about drugs during pregnancy, so I wrote a follow up: theatlantic.com/health/archive…

I have a theory that a lot of the Soviet and Eastern European graphic design aesthetic comes from a technical limitation, that when you print stuff in four colors on bad presses, the images will not exactly align (misregistration). The workaround led to some great designs.

A while ago a Singaporean taxi driver asked me what a UK hawker centre lunch might cost. I explained that there aren't any. He asked what office workers ate, and I explained the concept of Meal Deals. And he looked at me with such a powerful combination of pity and revulsion.
I think one of the most interesting parts of @JonHaidt's book is about the irony of losing religious ritual—which is embodied, synchronous, deep, and collective—in the age of smartphone use—which is disembodied, asynchronous, shallow, and solitary theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
