It’s been more than a year since the Cap Times last sat down with our go-to pandemic explainer Malia Jones for her take on the ever-changing COVID situation. These days, Jones, an epidemiologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Applied Population Laboratory, homeschools her kids by day (her solution for protecting her kids and their grandparents), works her day job on the swing shift, and somehow squeezes in time to run a pandemic information site called Dear Pandemic.
