Lauren Gunderson (@LalaTellsAStory) is a widely produced playwright. Her husband (@virushunter) is a pandemic expert. What better time to write a play about him? https://t.co/G0OicBPoBW by @thomasfullerNYT

@LalaTellsAStory wrote a play about @virushunter Mr.Nathan Wolfe. We should have listened to him. But I guess now you can listen to me being him & telling you why you should have listened to him in the first place. https://t.co/3KeQYCMbd8
