Covid delay and open thread, talk amongst yourselves this week – Field of Schemes

I’m on Day 5 of Covid over here, and while I’m feeling a bit better each day, I’m also discovering that the virus’s patented brain fog is not conducive to witty, insightful news analysis, or whatever is it I’m usually doing here. (You should see how long it took me to type that sentence, for example.)

Accordingly, I’m calling in sick to this site for the rest of this week, unless something so momentous happens that it absolutely can’t wait. For the lesser news items, please feel free to use the comments section as an open thread, and we can hopefully all return to normal on Monday.
