In Texas-Mexico Border Towns, COVID-19 Has Had an Unconscionably High Death Toll
Alfredo “Freddy” Valles was an accomplished trumpeter and a beloved music teacher for nearly four decades at one of the poorest middle schools in El Paso, Texas. He was known for buying his students shoes and bow ties for their band concerts, his effortlessly positive demeanor and his suave personal style—“he looked like he stepped out of a different era, the 1950s,” says his niece, Ruby Montana. While Valles was singular in life, his death at age 60 in February 2021 was part of a devastating statistic: He was one of thousands of deaths in Texas border counties—where coronavirus mortalit...

What We Learned About Genetic Sequencing During COVID-19 Could Revolutionize Public Health
You don’t want to be a virus in Dr. David Ho’s lab. Pretty much every day since the COVID-19 pandemic began, Ho and his team have done nothing but find ways to stress SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the disease. His goal: pressure the virus relentlessly enough that it mutates to survive, so drug developers can understand how the virus might respond to new treatments. As a virologist with decades of experience learning about another obstinate virus, HIV, Ho knows just how to apply that mutation-generating stress, whether by starving the virus, bathing it in antibodies that disrupt its ability to infect cells, ...

There has been much suffering and loss, but a silver lining is emerging - a growing list of deeply contextualised, resource-light and patient-centric innovations that are showing the promise of reshaping health care delivery as we know it.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: the race to trace: contact tracing scale-up in San Francisco —early lessons learned
We describe the early experience in the City and County of San Francisco (CCSF), where the City ’s Department of Health expanded contact tracing capability in anticipation of changes in San Francisco’s ‘shelter in place’ order between April and June 2020.

Blaming Covid mistakes on ‘groupthink’ lets the government off the hook | Stephen Reicher and John Drury
Dominic Cummings repeatedly used this dubious term – but it obscures the real reasons why bad decisions were made• Stephen Reicher and John Drury are participants in the Sage subcommittee advising on behavioural scienceIn the seven hours of evidence he gave at the Houses of Commons, Dominic Cummings mounted asystematic attack on the decisions of the government and its scientific advisory groups during the pandemic.

It was applied to the government in general, to the...
