Twitter Is Making the Coronavirus World a Better Place
It has taken a global pandemic to help fulfill social media’s promise of connecting people meaningfully.

Mrs. T. passed away on Tuesday.
Her full name was Hilary Dyson Teachout, though I never knew her as anything but Mrs. T. She was the wife of Terry Teachout, the Wall Street Journal’s fine drama critic, and I should mention that she didn’t die of Covid-19. Mrs. T suffered from a rare lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, and on March 1, after years of waiting, she received a double-lung transplant from surgeons at New York-Presbyterian Hospital. She spent the next two weeks in a medically induced coma, and when she came out of it, both the doctors and Terry were encouraged by her progress. But sadly, it wasn’t to be.
