Another week, another COVID-19 column. I promise, I do have other things I’d like to write about, but it’s hard when most of our lives are on hold, as we watch this virus race around the world.
The newspaper is a special form of media because it has a unique sort of permanence. Go into the archives and you can find stories from over 100 years ago.

Those pages remain forever as a snapshot of a certain time and place.
