An old favorite of mine - Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China. It's the true story of three generations of a Chinese family, the grandmother was a concubine of a warlord, the mother was a communist official, and the daughter experienced the Cultural Revolution as a teenager and young adult. Really great read, hard to put down. And gives you a great overview of Chinese history, in the past century.

You learn about the fascinating and disturbing history of the 20th century in China, and how the communist revolution was experienced through the eyes of these three women. The stories are amazing. Particularly interesting was the story of the author's father, who was a communist official. He tried hard to be an honest man during and after the communist revolution, but then was completely crushed by the cultural revolution.

Could Damus be compiled to WASM and simply be a web app ?

As a Swedish person (with more than one medical doctor sibling, working in the field—both of them btw got COVID and had mild symptoms) I can provide some context for why we went this route, even when our usually politically aligned northern neighbors didn't. Norway locked down. Denmark locked down ("0% deaths!" laughable.)

1. Why didn't we lock down? Because we had very recently been through a very similar situation, where we saw the dangers of mass hysteria. Specifically, our Infectious Disease Expert Anders Tegnel, who had just been traumatized by his role in the recent Swine flu epidemic (2009) in Sweden, during which he led the charge of mass vaccination which led to hundreds of children developing narcolepsy, was still in charge and trusted. All this is basically hear-say, but I'm writing it to give you an inclination as to why Tegnell and the Swedish people were "inoculated" against COVID mass hysteria.
2. My sibling doctors reported a ridiculous "only-for-show" mask wearing (even when on zoom conferences, for christs sake), and more importantly, there was a heavy pressure to label anyone who died WITH covid, as dying FROM covid. If you know anything about how complicated death of old people (and they were always the ones dying, like we clearly saw in Italy which early got hit HARD because the elderly live with their families there), then saying "oh it was just covid" is about as dishonest as you can be. But those statistics were needed for the funding to work.

As a personal note, I never noticed any lockdowns AT ALL. We perhaps had a couple sick leaves from work. There were no masks. No fights. There were some curfews, but I don't really hang out late anyway.

I'm proud of my country for sticking it out, for trusting Tegnell, trusting the science instead of the mass hysteria. I think we will all be better prepared for the next pandemic when it comes (not just sweden, and not just because all the old people died :))

Meeting up regularly with friends is tough. Do pick-up sports count as meeting with friends? I'd say yes, so that's a couple times a week. I do a couple classes, a few times a week.

Without those, I'm lucky if it's twice a week, of actually scheduling to meet up with friends. Wish it were more.
