'Book' is a descendant of the 'beech'; 'paper' came from 'papyrus'; 'library' is from the Latin 'liber', 'bark', and 'true' is a sibling of 'tree', with the idea of something solid, firm, and steadfast. I love the way language has wrapped itself around trees.

This week, I took it to #scrollytelling land to break down the Covid-19 "race to the bottom" - which countries are vanquishing the coronavirus? TL;DR: NZ doing good. Iceland doing even better. interactives.stuff.co.nz/202…

.@fotoole: “All our governments are failing in some way, but I don’t think you can point to any other government in the rich democratic world that has had such a malignant presence at its heart in this crisis... It is deadly, this mixed messaging from Trump.”

3D printed homes could be the key to a more sustainable future

These 3D printed homes offer a sustainable future

Called TECLA, the project uses materials found onsite that are reusable and recyclable to build circular and affordable homes.

Epidemic Response Select Committee is basically working well, but another day of National members pushing to loosen restrictions against all the public health advice the committee has received. We are in a position to talk about L3 now because strong L4 conditions are working.

America in one picture: people got cars & gas but no food. Something’s so profoundly wrong in this equation.

Yesterday 10,000 cars in San Antonio lined up for food distribution. More than any picture or statistic I’ve seen, this is what scares me.

In November 1970, officials in Oregon, USA decided to blow up a rotting whale carcass. The whole thing went horribly wrong. Why do we bring this up? Well, this story can teach us 3 things about #coronavirus ⬇️

Look at the Wuhan line on this new graph from @jburnmurdoch. The lockdown was introduced there on 23rd Jan – 69 days ago – which means this entire Wuhan curve has happened since then. It shows how long it can take to see the effect of control measures on the number of deaths.
