I’m falling behind on e-mails, but thanks to all who have written

I am glad so many have found my attempt to sort through the news and information related to the coronavirus useful (traffic has been very high–up 40% since February, and while traffic usually goes up in March, not by this proportion–and thanks especially to all those who have written, I'm trying to acknowledge all those e-mails slowly–one philosopher said I was the only source of "unbiased" news he had found [at best, I'm a source of reasonably objective and sensible news moderation and aggregation, and I'm openign comments a lot for corrections]).  I probably won't be able to keep this up, but will try to share the most helpful items going forward.  Good wishes to you all!
