Welcome Virginia.

Hi Lou!

Tks

Thanks so much!!

Stunning talk!!

Thank you!

Amazing talk, Amy!

Thank you!

That was wonderful - thank you.

This was really, really wonderful. Thank you Amy

Wow. I'm sorry I have to leave for a moment to see somebody that fell in the unit. I'll come back.

Beautiful talk

Brilliant essay!

You Build a dialogue by imagine from the perception

Just extraordinary. Terrifying. Exquisite.

Extraordinary talk. Thank you, Amy.

This presentation could be made into a short film

Astonishing talk Amy, thank you. I need to hear again!

beautifully done.

Beautiful essay! So intense! Thanks!

wonderful talk, appreciating your mixture of modalities and ideas, thank you so much, jaswant

Very walter benjamin :)

compellingly intense… makes visible so much

To me is a King of methodology can build with the interlecutor

Only with image

This isn’t so much a question as a comment—Amy, your essay reminds me a lot of Favret-Saada’s classic work Deadly Words because of the haunting quality of your private experiences. You might find her genre of writing—and its unsettling qualities—as one way to anchor this further. Beautiful talk & thought provoking, too. Thank you. Lesley

It was really really moving. Thank you

Can I ask a question?

I have a photocopy of deadly words somewhere.

Haunting Politics

Thank you for sharing these incredible experiences and insights Amy. How special to see these new possibilities! Wishing all safe and happy break and look forward to 2021.

Stunning, Amy. Thank you. So grateful to be invited to move through your labyrinthine, extraordinary experience. I was so drawn to your ability to weave the “surreal circus of capitalism” with the intimacy of spending “most of May watching my husband breathe” and the tensions of extended family.

I also love the weaving of fever from inside your experience, in your local family experience, in the political environment out side the hospital, and on to global warming. It's an incredibly thoughtful and thought provoking threat!

what do you think the medical community would think/experience by making this disorientation, lack of connection and terror visible?

Adrienne rich, Diving into the Wreck too

there is a prevalent sense of unreality about. it causes people to doubt the actual reality of the panademic. your presentation counteracts that tendency. thanks very mucyh. for example, some persons question the reality of the moon landing. others question, some in importqant positions, the reality of the pandemicic.

Agree, Jed

the suspicions date back to the orson wlles broadcast of The war of the worlds, which enormous numbers of people believed to be true. and there is a movie which dpicts a movie versionof the landing on the moon. all of these precedents lead to the suspicion tha the whole thing is a fake.

This was interesting…..considering the family structure…what language do younger children use in talking about this pandemic? how do parents relate to kids as they try to protect them and when they come back from Isolation?

My grand nephews who are 5 and 7 are in their lab in the garage seeking to make vaccines and antibodies

They hae

Have. Worn masks for months

excellent role models!!

Thinking a lot about that hospital bed/coffin, as I write about non-human ‘survivors’ of ebola

There’s all of this infstructure built for moving bodies, managing the dead

Yes, Adia, thinking about our African colleagues here who have been deeply involved w ebola.

May I offer a quick comment?

Yes — we’ve also seen COVID making its way into play with our 8 y/o

@ Arlene: From my perspective, I think this would be incredible for medical audiences to hear, though I'm uncertain what venue would allow my non-anthro inclined colleagues to metabolize the information. I would love to have you, Amy, try the talk if we could find the right venue.

thanks Michael… It speaks to the importance of connection… that is often as Antonio mentioned, all the forces that occlude that…

make visible what matters…

My niece and her husband who work at Tahoe still has symptoms of memory loss and got sick about June

I have to attend another meeting. Sorry to leave. Have a good weekend!

“Fingerprint, not the crime” is also telling

I need to step off for another meeting. Thank you for your wonderful work, Amy. So good to see everyone.

They might’ve gone off the call.

I have to run, thank you so much, Amy!

Very amazed by your work to put and reconcile all different pieces of life, public life and personal life, together. It is a great lesson for me to learn from you! Especially, how to make sense out of these fragments. Thank you!

Sorry to have arrived late and remain mute/off screen. My partner is teaching a class just around the corner :) Following up on Mike’s comment and Sadeq’s, I wanted to thank Amy for her incredible, evocative talk and whether she has thought about connections between “technology” and “hospitality” broadly conceived as a welcoming, a making-kin within biomedicine, the “hospital” and beyond (I was thinking hospitality on the plane as well). Thank you!

Thank you so much! I will run! It was a pleasure

@ Angela: Thank you, that's such a great comment to think about moving forward, for me, at least!
