The first article in my six-part Covidnomics series was published June 2020, with the sixth article following April 2021. The full Covidnomics series can be read here.

- May 2021, Covid in Short Pants
- Oct 2021, Guns, God, Rattlesnakes & Covid
- Dec 2021, Dark Currents of the Pacific (Disponible también en Español)
