Apparently we’re deep enough into this pandemic that I can handle reading about a different pandemic. I’d forgotten about the epidemic/quarantine in the “present-day” Oxford, and that’s the one that’s really resonating, in terms of how everyone responds to restrictions, shortages - there’s even a Brexit-ish moment where someone is protesting European control and open immigration. Whew.
