The Anxiety You ’re Feeling Might Be Pandemic Grief
Despite a global pandemic that caused the deaths of millions of people and drastically altered our way of life, we still haven’t mastered the art of recognizing grief when it shows up. Four years ago, life as we knew it slipped away.

Everywhere you turned someone was losing something or someone. But instead of grief rising t...

COVID-19 Shows Why the World Needs a Pandemic Agreement
Today marks four years since I said the global outbreak of COVID-19 could be characterized as a pandemic. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] My decision to use the “p-word” was not one I took lightly. Pandemic is a powerful word, evoking fear linked to plagues and pandemics throughout history that have claimed millions of lives and caused severe disruption to societies and economies—as COVID-19 did. Many of WHO’s critics have pointed to my use of “pandemic” on March 11, 2020 as evidence that WHO was “late” in taking the threat of COVID-19 seriously. By that s...

Of course you have, and there’s a physiological reason why. “When someone says something offensive or harmful that hurts us or hurts a member of a community that’s really important to us, our nervous system can get activated,” says Kerry McBroome, a psychologist in Brooklyn. “The parts of the brain that are responsible for coming up with clever or witty things to say are just not online—they’re nervous and sensing a threat.” [time-brightcove not-tgx=&#...
