I wrote an essay about how the pandemic brought back international borders, published today on Wired. With my people in Canada and South Korea, it’s a subject close to my heart.
I also talk in this piece about different countries’ approach to Covid-19, and Americans’ sudden changed status: “We were among the most passport-privileged travelers in the world, until the flailing federal response to the pandemic made the US a cautionary tale and its residents global outcasts.”
With so many of us cut off from family these days, I hope you’ll relate! Thanks for reading and sharing.
