COVID Briefing

COVID Briefing – December 30,2022

from  the New York Times

An informed guide to the pandemic, with the latest developments and expert advice about prevention and treatment.

The year ahead
As we prepare to enter the third year of the pandemic, we have been hoping for more normality and less Covid disruption by now. Case counts are soaring to all-time highs in some parts of the world, and 2022 is shaping up to be just as uncertain as the last 12 months.
That said, we’ve made huge strides against the coronavirus this year. There are now multiple vaccines that offer powerful protection against the worst effects of Covid, as well as remarkably effective treatments for those who become infected.
Next year will bring more advancements, too, and I’ll be here to keep you updated on the science, and to gather the information and advice you need to live your best life during the pandemic.
Today, in the last Coronavirus newsletter of the year, I’m taking a look ahead. I spoke to Times reporters about some of the big pandemic issues they’ll be tracking in 2022. Here’s what they said.
Living with the virus. This week, Dr. Anthony Fauci was asked whether we had to start to live with the virus and accept some risk of mild infections. His answer was essentially yes.
“We’re never going to stop counting tests,” he said. But we’re going to have to adjust to some controlled spread of the virus, being more sensitive to economic and societal concerns, he said.
My colleague Noah Weiland, a health reporter at The Times, told me that we’d heard comments like this from top officials before, but this time he said it felt particularly notable amid the spread of the Omicron variant. So many people are getting sick, he said, and those who have not may have even resigned themselves to the possibility of an infection sometime in the coming weeks and months.

Goodbye Betty White

Goodbye Betty White – January 1, 2022

Saturday – from  the Washington Post

Goodbye to Betty White, popular culture’s beloved (and saucy) great-grandma

She was a dedicated actress and showbiz personality to the very end. She was also something much more to the millions who loved her.

Oh, Betty! Dear Betty, sweet Betty, saucy Betty. We always knew the day was coming, but you were so good at helping us pretend it would never get here.

And now there you are, all that sparkle and happiness, smiling at us in the checkout line just as we are sad-scrolling through the breaking news of your death on an already bummed-out New Year’s Eve: People magazine, hedging all kinds of bets against the universe, has an issue on the stands touting your 100th birthday in January. It’s so like you, Betty, to get in one last good one. The joke is on them now, along with assuredly terrific newsstand sales. The sorrow, meanwhile, is on us.

Betty White, who was found dead Friday at age 99 in her Brentwood, Calif., home, did not, as the obits are factually obligated to tell us, leave behind any children — or grandchildren or great-grandchildren or great-great-grandchildren.
