The others are Brazil and Hungary, but the United States has fallen more than either of them. “If you compare us to other countries, we’re looking worse and worse,” Michael Porter, a Harvard Business School professor who advises the Social Progress Index, told me. And this isn’t just about President Trump: He’s a symptom of these trends, as well as a reason they’re accelerating.

It turns out that areas where Fox News is randomly assigned to a lower channel number, and thus gets a larger audience, also have less mask wearing and social distancing. The result is more Covid-19 infections and deaths. For those of us who believe deeply in the role of media in conveying accurate information and leaving the public safer and better off, it’s a very disheartening study.

And Barr was also one of the authors, many years ago, of the catastrophic policy of mass incarceration; he wrote a report during his first sting as attorney general actually entitled, “The Case for More Incarceration.” Calling all this “Christ-like” seems a defamation of Jesus. Sending Kids to School in a Time of Plague Many of you wrote in about my column arguing that we should do as much as possible to send kids back to in-person schooling, especially for disadvantaged kids.

For the past three weeks of e-learning, everyone’s experience has been horrid … Quite literally, almost no actual learning has been done, and in the meantime a deep feeling of social isolation and general aggravation has set in. My younger brother now has something along the lines of four hours of actual schooling a day, and at least one of those hours is taken up by the teacher’s technical difficulties … I have several classmates who are not even willing to turn on their cameras or microphones because they don’t want to show their situation to the class, or are busy helping teach a younger sibling (or siblings).” The Fires Out West Are Scenes from Dante’s Inferno Fires are raging in California and Oregon, a reminder that ignoring science is as dangerous with climate change as it is with a pandemic. In my home state of Oregon, entire towns are reported mostly gone, and a forest fire is only about nine miles from my own family farm — making us all very nervous. Thanks to all the firefighters doing heroic work, but let’s remember that making us safer means not only dousing flames but also addressing the larger issues of climate change.
