Near the beginning of "The Glass Hotel" Emily St. John Mandel introduces Paul, who is studying finance at the University of Toronto. He'd prefer to study musical composition, but "His mother was unwilling to entertain the idea of an impractical degree, for which after several expensive rounds of rehab he couldn't easily blame her."
Someone in a nursing home with major health problems has a relatively high probability of dying from the coronavirus -- it may be sad, but the unfortunate fact is they already have a short additional life expectancy.
Any member of Congress who wants to save the U.S. economy from the dramatic effect of the coronavirus should recognize how crucial airlines and their workers are to that mission.
We need a U.S. intelligence community that is nimble, innovative and willing to take risks. Eliminating the ODNI and its gargantuan bureaucracy will go a long way toward fixing the damage that this huge, ineffective and politicized leviathan has done to our national security.
China should stop with the disinformation media campaign and engage with the CDC on the COVID-19 pandemic. The United States should follow WHO guidance and call the pandemic COVID-19.
It's times like these -- times of national crisis, times of national coronavirus emergency -- that civil rights, constitutional rights, God-given individual rights become most vulnerable, most tested. It's times like these, though, they also become most necessary.

If Richard Burr decides to give up this whole being a senator thing, he might pitch himself as a television host for the stock-market-obsessed television network CNBC. Mr. Burr, a Republican senator from North Carolina who chairs the Intelligence Committee, made some startlingly prescient market moves before the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, which has seen U.S. indices drop some 30 percent.
