Even though I believe I’m a pretty good planner and can strategize with the best of ‘em, last week threw me into a planning frenzy. I was anticipating my first in-person ALS clinic visit after nearly a year of online appointments with my neurologist.

Pre-pandemic, I had many in-person visits under my belt. But now, I was out of practice in preparing for the three-hour visit. Would I forget to bring something important? What would be different this time? Would the clinic team include…

Overpowering The New Business Cycle

On July 19 the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) declared that the recession that began in March 2020 ended the following month.

If not for the downturn’s extreme depth, the NBER probably would not even have classified the 2020 slump as a recession.

Can Today's Vaccines Beat the Delta Variant?

Key Points

It’s OK if efficacy in overall prevention slips a bit -- as long as the vaccines can keep people out of the hospital.

As the U.S. rolled out its coronavirus vaccination campaign, cases of COVID-19 plunged -- and Americans allowed themselves to imagine a return to normal sooner instead of later. But the pandemic has shown us in recent weeks that it's far from over.
