Background

The media usually report COVID data regarding recent changes in daily cases and deaths (typically single-digit percentages) or cumulative counts for the U.S. or globally (typically millions).

I say I died because I stopped breathing, and while they do not issue temporary death certificates, how else might we explain the next five minutes of which I have no remembrance?

The research used our old friend, the UK Biobank, a repository of genetic information on a large number of Brits, as well as a similar genetic registry in Finland, the FinnGen.

We aim to examine these pandemic trends holistically, recognizing that events on successive dates may not be entirely independent.

Unlike stopping a pathogen with an antibiotic or antiviral drug, a process that is simple and well-understood, getting a handle on the seemingly impossible complexity of cancer cannot be more different.
