Breaking my PhD write up-imposed Twitter hiatus to comment briefly on #COVIDー19 in #Myanmar. This will be very elliptical, leaving out numerous considerations for the sake of a short(er) thread. If you follow Myanmar, you'll have seen lots of stories about Buddhist meditation centres being used for quarantine. This might suggest that religious social work actors and networks (parahita) are responding as thoroughly as they have to other man made and natural disasters.
