Without a doubt, a palpable shift has happened in the amount of attention we are paying to this virus. The cruise ship, the Diamond Princess, has been quarantined off the coast of Japan with growing cases of the new virus. But we are, perhaps understandably, caught up in other serious stories—trying to understand what happened at the Iowa Democratic Caucus last night is one. Two voting apps evidently crashed and no one know which Democratic candidate won. It will certainly serve as evidence for Trump’s continued argument that anything other than in-person paper ballots are vulnerable to tampering.  Greenland’s ice sheet is apparently melting seven times faster than it was in 1992 and holds enough water to raise global sea levels by twenty-four feet. And the trial of Harvey Weinstein, the film producer, continues. Finally, women are coming forward to talk about his sexual assaults and rapes. Weinstein, the TV broadcaster Charlie Rose, Lockhart Steele at Vox Media, the financier Jeffrey Epstein, lots of government representatives, and hundreds more have been brought to reckoning in the wake of the #metoo movement.
