The UK’s National Health Service has received new guidelines from the government on how to record COVID-19 cases, separating people who are symptomatic from those who just test positive for SARS-CoV-2.

From the beginning of the pandemic, the NHS (and most countries in the world) have defined a “COVID-19 case” as anyone who tests positive for SARS-CoV-2, regardless of whether or not they are sick.

Less than a month after the killing of George Floyd, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo celebrated signing a police reform package into law. “You don’t need to protest, you won,” he said at the time. “You accomplished your goal. Society says you’re right, the police need systemic reform.” But a year later — as he faces a potential impeachment trial over multiple allegations of sexual harassment, among other things — Cuomo has succeeded in placing a career prosecutor on the state’s highest court, someone who critics say has led “an active resistance to an equitable criminal legal system.”

When we think about guns and gun laws, we immediately think about mass shootings and the assault weapons that make big news. What gets overlooked are simply the huge number of guns on the street and the use of those guns in everyday crimes. We now have more guns in the United States than people. Gun sales during the pandemic have only exacerbated those trends.

In the wake of the bloody insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, one question lingered along with the stench of tear gas and bear spray — was that abomination a one-off, or was it in fact the start of something new, something far more ominous?

Fifteen months ago most of us knew very little about viruses. Today, spike proteins, mRNA, and monoclonal antibodies are household words.

Our new knowledge and vocabulary are now liberating tools.
