If there is a motto for the current situation, it must be “We are living in uncertain times.” The media constantly bombards us with how unprecedented each new development is.
This kind of language tempts us to think of ourselves as unique—in our personal experiences and in our moment in history. If there is one thing literature can do for us, it is to remind us that we are not unique, and therefore we are not alone.
Literature is powerful because it speaks to the human condition. It reflects our circumstances and gives meaning to them.The details might be new, but the experiences of fear, isolation, boredom, anxiety, and longing for safety are not.
Here are some literary quotes for a pandemic that are surprisingly apt, even in these “unprecedented” times.
“’I wish it need not have happened in my time,’ said Frodo. ‘So do I,’ said Gandalf, ‘and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.’” —J.R.R. Tolkein
“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” —Maya Angelou
“The living can’t quit living because the world has turned terrible and people they love and need are killed. They can’t because they don’t. The light that shines into darkness and never goes out calls them on into life. It calls them back again into the great room. It calls them into their bodies and into the world, into whatever the world will require. It calls them into work and pleasure, goodness and beauty, and the company of other loved ones.” —Wendell Berry
“The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself, The more he gives to others, the more he gets himself.” —Lao Tzu
“When ‘I’ replaced with ‘We’ even illness becomes wellness.” —Malcolm X
“We’re all under the same sky and walk the same earth; we’re alive together during the same moment.” —Maxine Hong Kingston
“We were together. I forget the rest.” —Walt Whitman
“‘Where are we going, Pooh?’ ‘Home, Piglet. We’re going home because that’s the best thing to do right now.'” —A.A. Milne
“Home is the nicest word there is.” —Laura Ingalls Wilder
“There are days when solitude is a heady wine that intoxicates you with freedom, others when it is a bitter tonic, and still others when it is a poison that makes you beat your head against the wall.” —Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette
“One situation—maybe one alone—could drive me to murder: family life, togetherness.” —Patricia Highsmith

The world is grappling with an invisible, deadly enemy, trying to understand how to live with the threat posed by a virus . For some writers, the only way forward is to put pen to paper, trying to conceptualize and document what it feels like to continue living as countries are under lockdown and regular life seems to have ground to a halt.
So as the coronavirus pandemic has stretched around the world, it’s sparked a crop of diary entries and essays that describe how life has changed. Novelists, critics, artists, and journalists have put words to the feelings many are experiencing. The result is a first draft of how we’ll someday remember this time, filled with uncertainty and pain and fear as well as small moments of hope and humanity.
At the New York Review of Books, Ali Bhutto writes that in Karachi, Pakistan, the government-imposed curfew due to the virus is “eerily reminiscent of past military clampdowns”:
Beneath the quiet calm lies a sense that society has been unhinged and that the usual rules no longer apply. Small groups of pedestrians look on from the shadows, like an audience watching a spectacle slowly unfolding. People pause on street corners and in the shade of trees, under the watchful gaze of the paramilitary forces and the police.
His essay concludes with the sobering note that “in the minds of many, Covid-19 is just another life-threatening hazard in a city that stumbles from one crisis to another.”
Writing from Chattanooga, novelist Jamie Quatro documents the mixed ways her neighbors have been responding to the threat, and the frustration of conflicting direction, or no direction at all, from local, state, and federal leaders:
Whiplash, trying to keep up with who’s ordering what. We’re already experiencing enough chaos without this back-and-forth. Why didn’t the federal government issue a nationwide shelter-in-place at the get-go, the way other countries did? What happens when one state’s shelter-in-place ends, while others continue? Do states still under quarantine close their borders? We are still one nation, not fifty individual countries. Right?
Award-winning photojournalist Alessio Mamo, quarantined with his partner Marta in Sicily after she tested positive for the virus, accompanies his photographs in the Guardian of their confinement with a reflection on being confined :
The doctors asked me to take a second test, but again I tested negative. Perhaps I’m immune? The days dragged on in my apartment, in black and white, like my photos. Sometimes we tried to smile, imagining that I was asymptomatic, because I was the virus. Our smiles seemed to bring good news. My mother left hospital, but I won’t be able to see her for weeks. Marta started breathing well again, and so did I. I would have liked to photograph my country in the midst of this emergency, the battles that the doctors wage on the frontline, the hospitals pushed to their limits, Italy on its knees fighting an invisible enemy. That enemy, a day in March, knocked on my door instead.
In the New York Times Magazine, deputy editor Jessica Lustig writes with devastating clarity about her family’s life in Brooklyn while her husband battled the virus, weeks before most people began taking the threat seriously:
At the door of the clinic, we stand looking out at two older women chatting outside the doorway, oblivious. Do I wave them away? Call out that they should get far away, go home, wash their hands, stay inside? Instead we just stand there, awkwardly, until they move on. Only then do we step outside to begin the long three-block walk home. I point out the early magnolia, the forsythia. T says he is cold. The untrimmed hairs on his neck, under his beard, are white. The few people walking past us on the sidewalk don’t know that we are visitors from the future. A vision, a premonition, a walking visitation. This will be them: Either T, in the mask, or — if they’re lucky — me, tending to him.
Essayist Leslie Jamison writes in the New York Review of Books about being shut away alone in her New York City apartment with her 2-year-old daughter since she became sick:
The virus. Its sinewy, intimate name. What does it feel like in my body today? Shivering under blankets. A hot itch behind the eyes. Three sweatshirts in the middle of the day. My daughter trying to pull another blanket over my body with her tiny arms. An ache in the muscles that somehow makes it hard to lie still. This loss of taste has become a kind of sensory quarantine. It’s as if the quarantine keeps inching closer and closer to my insides. First I lost the touch of other bodies; then I lost the air; now I’ve lost the taste of bananas. Nothing about any of these losses is particularly unique. I’ve made a schedule so I won’t go insane with the toddler. Five days ago, I wrote Walk/Adventure! on it, next to a cut-out illustration of a tiger—as if we’d see tigers on our walks. It was good to keep possibility alive.
At Literary Hub, novelist Heidi Pitlor writes about the elastic nature of time during her family’s quarantine in Massachusetts:
During a shutdown, the things that mark our days—commuting to work, sending our kids to school, having a drink with friends—vanish and time takes on a flat, seamless quality. Without some self-imposed structure, it’s easy to feel a little untethered. A friend recently posted on Facebook: “For those who have lost track, today is Blursday the fortyteenth of Maprilay.” ... Giving shape to time is especially important now, when the future is so shapeless. We do not know whether the virus will continue to rage for weeks or months or, lord help us, on and off for years. We do not know when we will feel safe again. And so many of us, minus those who are gifted at compartmentalization or denial, remain largely captive to fear. We may stay this way if we do not create at least the illusion of movement in our lives, our long days spent with ourselves or partners or families.
Novelist Lauren Groff writes at the New York Review of Books about trying to escape the prison of her fears while sequestered at home in Gainesville, Florida:
Some people have imaginations sparked only by what they can see; I blame this blinkered empiricism for the parks overwhelmed with people, the bars, until a few nights ago, thickly thronged. My imagination is the opposite. I fear everything invisible to me. From the enclosure of my house, I am afraid of the suffering that isn’t present before me, the people running out of money and food or drowning in the fluid in their lungs, the deaths of health-care workers now growing ill while performing their duties. I fear the federal government, which the right wing has so—intentionally—weakened that not only is it insufficient to help its people, it is actively standing in help’s way. I fear we won’t sufficiently punish the right. I fear leaving the house and spreading the disease. I fear what this time of fear is doing to my children, their imaginations, and their souls.
At ArtForum , Berlin-based critic and writer Kristian Vistrup Madsen reflects on martinis, melancholia, and Finnish artist Jaakko Pallasvuo’s 2018 graphic novel Retreat , in which three young people exile themselves in the woods:
In melancholia, the shape of what is ending, and its temporality, is sprawling and incomprehensible. The ambivalence makes it hard to bear. The world of Retreat is rendered in lush pink and purple watercolors, which dissolve into wild and messy abstractions. In apocalypse, the divisions established in genesis bleed back out. My own Corona-retreat is similarly soft, color-field like, each day a blurred succession of quarantinis, YouTube–yoga, and televized press conferences. As restrictions mount, so does abstraction. For now, I’m still rooting for love to save the world.
At the Paris Review , Matt Levin writes about reading Virginia Woolf’s novel The Waves during quarantine:
A retreat, a quarantine, a sickness—they simultaneously distort and clarify, curtail and expand. It is an ideal state in which to read literature with a reputation for difficulty and inaccessibility, those hermetic books shorn of the handholds of conventional plot or characterization or description. A novel like Virginia Woolf’s The Waves is perfect for the state of interiority induced by quarantine—a story of three men and three women, meeting after the death of a mutual friend, told entirely in the overlapping internal monologues of the six, interspersed only with sections of pure, achingly beautiful descriptions of the natural world, a day’s procession and recession of light and waves. The novel is, in my mind’s eye, a perfectly spherical object. It is translucent and shimmering and infinitely fragile, prone to shatter at the slightest disturbance. It is not a book that can be read in snatches on the subway—it demands total absorption. Though it revels in a stark emotional nakedness, the book remains aloof, remote in its own deep self-absorption.
In an essay for the Financial Times, novelist Arundhati Roy writes with anger about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s anemic response to the threat, but also offers a glimmer of hope for the future:
Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next. We can choose to walk through it, dragging the carcasses of our prejudice and hatred, our avarice, our data banks and dead ideas, our dead rivers and smoky skies behind us. Or we can walk through lightly, with little luggage, ready to imagine another world. And ready to fight for it.
From Boston, Nora Caplan-Bricker writes in The Point about the strange contraction of space under quarantine, in which a friend in Beirut is as close as the one around the corner in the same city:
It’s a nice illusion—nice to feel like we’re in it together, even if my real world has shrunk to one person, my husband, who sits with his laptop in the other room. It’s nice in the same way as reading those essays that reframe social distancing as solidarity. “We must begin to see the negative space as clearly as the positive, to know what we don’t do is also brilliant and full of love,” the poet Anne Boyer wrote on March 10th, the day that Massachusetts declared a state of emergency. If you squint, you could almost make sense of this quarantine as an effort to flatten, along with the curve, the distinctions we make between our bonds with others. Right now, I care for my neighbor in the same way I demonstrate love for my mother: in all instances, I stay away. And in moments this month, I have loved strangers with an intensity that is new to me. On March 14th, the Saturday night after the end of life as we knew it, I went out with my dog and found the street silent: no lines for restaurants, no children on bicycles, no couples strolling with little cups of ice cream. It had taken the combined will of thousands of people to deliver such a sudden and complete emptiness. I felt so grateful, and so bereft.
And on his own website, musician and artist David Byrne writes about rediscovering the value of working for collective good , saying that “what is happening now is an opportunity to learn how to change our behavior”:
In emergencies, citizens can suddenly cooperate and collaborate. Change can happen. We’re going to need to work together as the effects of climate change ramp up. In order for capitalism to survive in any form, we will have to be a little more socialist. Here is an opportunity for us to see things differently — to see that we really are all connected — and adjust our behavior accordingly. Are we willing to do this? Is this moment an opportunity to see how truly interdependent we all are? To live in a world that is different and better than the one we live in now? We might be too far down the road to test every asymptomatic person, but a change in our mindsets, in how we view our neighbors, could lay the groundwork for the collective action we’ll need to deal with other global crises. The time to see how connected we all are is now.
The portrait these writers paint of a world under quarantine is multifaceted. Our worlds have contracted to the confines of our homes, and yet in some ways we’re more connected than ever to one another. We feel fear and boredom, anger and gratitude, frustration and strange peace. Uncertainty drives us to find metaphors and images that will let us wrap our minds around what is happening.
Yet there’s no single “what” that is happening. Everyone is contending with the pandemic and its effects from different places and in different ways. Reading others’ experiences — even the most frightening ones — can help alleviate the loneliness and dread, a little, and remind us that what we’re going through is both unique and shared by all.

- We risk a generation of 'crushed dreams' unless jobs growth rebounds, warns Christine Lagarde.
- The successful businesses of the future will combine digital transformation and responsible practices, according to the CEO of Accenture.
- The Pioneers of Change summit, Nov 16-20, will explore the innovations needed to build back better from the pandemic.
While the daily toll of new cases and fatalities shows that the COVID-19 pandemic is still raging on, a glimmer of hope has arrived in the form of encouraging vaccine data.
It’s against this backdrop that leaders gathered for the World Economic Forum’s inaugural Pioneers of Change virtual summit.
Kicking off the discussions, Christine Lagarde , President of the European Central Bank, paid tribute to the successful vaccine results from Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech. Vaccines these companies are developing proved to be around 95% and 90% effective respectively against the new coronavirus, according to early results.
“We were standing on one side of a massive river of uncertainty and hardship… thanks to the tremendous hard work of companies in the US, Germany and other corners of the world we’re now seeing the other side of the river,” LaGarde said in the opening plenary of the Pioneers summit.
However, crossing the choppy water would be a struggle necessitating both private sector innovation and a “policy bridge” to help countries recover from the worst economic shock in generations.
“If we get the policy mix right, hopefully we will protect the economy in the aggregate, but we will not prevent it from being transformed. We need to focus on that so that those transformations are not scars but transformations for the better,” she said.
A generation of young job-seekers risked having their “dreams crushed” without a rebound in jobs growth in the private sector, LaGarde warned. Investment in Research & Development would be crucial.
Reflecting on the role of business in powering a recovery, Julie Sweet , the Chief Executive Officer of Accenture, brought in three numbers:
80% of companies that Accenture surveyed were going to invest in digital transformation.
62% of C-suite executives believed that as they transform, they need to have more responsible business practices. This meant focusing on sustainability, talent and the SDGs.
Only 3% chose to combine digital transformation with a focus on responsible business.
The most successful companies of the future would combine those two goals, Sweet argued.
But amid the promise of digital transformation, Luis Alberto Moreno , former president of the Inter-American Development Bank , warned that vast swathes of the population risked being left behind.
“In the case of emerging markets, not every country has the possibility of having all its society connected. There is a huge divide that we need to be mindful of. 50% of people in Latin America do not have access to high quality connectivity,” he said.
With innovation on the agenda for the week at the Pioneers of Change summit, Cameron Hepburn , Director and Professor of Environmental Economics at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment (SSEE), spoke of the need to “create new competitive opportunities.”
“If you’re not generating big social benefits, you’re not solving a problem, you’re license to make a lot of money isn’t so robust,” he said.
Professor Hepburn singled out the rapidly declining cost of electrolysis, a crucial part of making renewable power work, as the most exciting development on the horizon.
In the context of “developing the region through peace”, Mohammad Abdullah Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs of the United Arab Emirates, spoke of this critical time in human history and the opportunities for “fast-forwarding” human potential.
“We’ve changed because it’s time to change. With COVID, we reinvented ourselves, for us it is a time of opportunity. We have a dedicated minister looking at distant learning, telemedicine and other developments. This is the future.”
He also spoke of the technology gap defining the winners and the losers in the years to come and said, “Technology is how you disseminate knowledge to humanity. How you fight extremism through knowledge. Either they win or we win. For us as a state, it’s a state of mind. We need to improve the lives of kids in this region and give them hope.”

Coronavirus expert quotes and analysis
Coronavirus - expert quotes .
"The WHO and government's around the world have created policy to respond to outbreaks...,like coronavirus, based on the tenets of prevent, detect and respond - all rooted in epidemiological practice and very well evidence based.
But what they fail to take into account with this focus on this type of response is the direct and indirect impacts these outbreaks have on women." - Dr Clare Wenham (listen to podcast here) " The key point that needs to be emphasised here is that human to human transmission is not rare with these types of viruses." - Dr Stephen L. Roberts
"We are seeing the mechanisms of global health security spring into action to respond to the Coronavirus; the problem is that after years of underinvestment we, as a global community, are still not prepared for a “big one”. Even strong heath systems may struggle, and where does that leave weak health systems across the global south?" - Dr Clare Wenham
"I think the critical thing to remember here in relation to the SARS episode in 2002-2003, with what we've recently been witnessing with the Chinese government and several cities involved in the outbreak in China, is that many years have passed, we've had many advancements in surveillance and manay global advancements in information sharing have been made since then." - Dr Stephen L. Roberts
"Unprecedented quarantines like we’ve seen in China need greater investigation. Firstly we saw many Wuhan citizens leave before it was in place, thereby not limiting infection. Secondly, such methods can be regressive, penalising the most marginalised; through limited access to transport, food and healthcare." - Dr Clare Wenham
"With this outbreak, China has demonstrated itself to be more forthcoming with providing information regarding the outbreak of this new growth virus and in it's co-operation with global health authorities. But the larger question of whether China has handled this outbreak well, I think ultimately is a question we can only start to answer once the outbreak has been brought under control..." - Dr Stephen L. Roberts
"We also need to remember this is not the only global health emergency occurring now - Ebola continues across DRC, as does a significant Measles outbreak in that country." - Dr Clare Wenham "The screening processes that are being used - this obviously depends on what diagnostic method we are referring to. There is a lot of focus, for example, on screening that's being done in airports around the world, there's been a lot of discussion and analysis of how this particular method of screening can be circumvented, for example by taking medications that lower fevers..." - Dr Stephen L. Roberts
Protectionist policies designed to seal off a country from infection; by prohibiting travel, repatriating nationals or airport screening will only have limited effects. Due to global communication routes those who need to travel will find a route. Instead we need to invest in systems and front line healthcare workers to identify and treat cases if and when they emerge, using the range of infection control protocols we have at our disposal. - Dr Clare Wenham

97 Coronavirus Quotes That Show Human Beings Will Always Find The Funny Side, Even In A Crisis
The coronavirus (Covid-19) situation is dire, but the ability to make light of awful situations is an historic marker of British coping mechanisms, so here are the best coronavirus quotes and coronavirus jokes
The Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic has been devastating, globally. Of that, we can all agree.
With the casualties rising, worrying press conferences, small businesses shuttering and an over-extended health service, there's not been a lot of positive news to come out of the health crisis over the last year, naturally.
And with news that a new Covid-19 variant, Omicron, has been identified in the likes of Scotland, South Africa, Austria and Israel, there are now concerns social distancing measures and restrictions will soon become stricter as the World Health Organisation designated Omicron a 'variant of concern'.
However, as the British are wont to do, making light of the situation is the first port of call defence mechanism, to soothe collective anxiety. So whether that's quasi-philosophical Coronavirus quotes or full-on Coronavirus jokes, here is a sample of what's out there, to give you a little light relief.
Some have used their time to try and write pithy, impactful statements, to offer some words of encouragement, while others are just here for the LOLs, with Coronavirus memes or parodies.
Funny Coronavirus Quotes And Coronavirus Jokes
Many people - the ones who aren't sick, obviously - are beginning to try and see the funny side of the self-isolation, keeping people's spirits up by laughing about new opportunities to drink more, work out less, text an ex and eat tonnes of snacks.
Serious or Moving Coronavirus Quotes
Others are here to offer you some words of motivation in this tough time, whether quoting their favourite author or coming up with a bespoke phrase to suit the coronavirus situation.
Coronavirus Quotes About New Domestic Life
Some people are finding domestic life is either ridiculous, unbearable, or - for the unsociable among us - remarkably similar to the way it was before the Covid-19 pandemic.
Christina Aguilera likened quarantine to her 1999 hit 'Genie in a bottle' and we are totally here for it. Posting a clip from the original video, the pop superstar captioned the Instagram with some of the song's most fitting lyrics:
'“I feel like I've been locked up tight for a century of lonely nights...waiting for someone to release me” #SoundOn . What day is it?! Haha. Thanks for making me laugh during this crazy time. Love you guys. Please stay home if you can and stay safe. ❤️'
Jokes About Louis C.K.'s Coronavirus Stand-Up Special
In a rather more NSFW moment, controversial American comedian Louis C.K. announced a new stand-up special 'for those who need to laugh' during these testing times. The announcement was met with a mixed response, considering the comedian's recent media trial, on counts of alleged sexual misconduct.
In 2017, the C.K. was accused of misconduct - which included allegations of him masturbating in front of people without their consent - by five different women. At first, he either refused to comment on, or denied the allegations, but the day after the New York Times released their exposé, Louis C.K. put out a statement admitting to many of the accusations levelled against him .
After the news that C.K. was planning a one-off comedy 'special' during lockdown, other comedians and writers took to Twitter to poke fun at the situation, imagining what jokes C.K. might be planning to use in his coronavirus-show.
Some are definitely too NSFW to share ( click here if you want to read the whole thread ), but here are a few:

Covid 19 Essay in English
Essay on Covid -19: In a very short amount of time, coronavirus has spread globally. It has had an enormous impact on people's lives, economy, and societies all around the world, affecting every country. Governments have had to take severe measures to try and contain the pandemic. The virus has altered our way of life in many ways, including its effects on our health and our economy. Here are a few sample essays on ‘CoronaVirus’.
100 Words Essay on Covid 19
200 words essay on covid 19, 500 words essay on covid 19.
COVID-19 or Corona Virus is a novel coronavirus that was first identified in 2019. It is similar to other coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, but it is more contagious and has caused more severe respiratory illness in people who have been infected. The novel coronavirus became a global pandemic in a very short period of time. It has affected lives, economies and societies across the world, leaving no country untouched. The virus has caused governments to take drastic measures to try and contain it. From health implications to economic and social ramifications, COVID-19 impacted every part of our lives. It has been more than 2 years since the pandemic hit and the world is still recovering from its effects.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the world has been impacted in a number of ways. For one, the global economy has taken a hit as businesses have been forced to close their doors. This has led to widespread job losses and an increase in poverty levels around the world. Additionally, countries have had to impose strict travel restrictions in an attempt to contain the virus, which has resulted in a decrease in tourism and international trade. Furthermore, the pandemic has put immense pressure on healthcare systems globally, as hospitals have been overwhelmed with patients suffering from the virus. Lastly, the outbreak has led to a general feeling of anxiety and uncertainty, as people are fearful of contracting the disease.
My Experience of COVID-19
I still remember how abruptly colleges and schools shut down in March 2020. I was a college student at that time and I was under the impression that everything would go back to normal in a few weeks. I could not have been more wrong. The situation only got worse every week and the government had to impose a lockdown. There were so many restrictions in place. For example, we had to wear face masks whenever we left the house, and we could only go out for essential errands. Restaurants and shops were only allowed to operate at take-out capacity, and many businesses were shut down.
In the current scenario, coronavirus is dominating all aspects of our lives. The coronavirus pandemic has wreaked havoc upon people’s lives, altering the way we live and work in a very short amount of time. It has revolutionised how we think about health care, education, and even social interaction. This virus has had long-term implications on our society, including its impact on mental health, economic stability, and global politics. But we as individuals can help to mitigate these effects by taking personal responsibility to protect themselves and those around them from infection.
Effects of CoronaVirus on Education
The outbreak of coronavirus has had a significant impact on education systems around the world. In China, where the virus originated, all schools and universities were closed for several weeks in an effort to contain the spread of the disease. Many other countries have followed suit, either closing schools altogether or suspending classes for a period of time.
This has resulted in a major disruption to the education of millions of students. Some have been able to continue their studies online, but many have not had access to the internet or have not been able to afford the costs associated with it. This has led to a widening of the digital divide between those who can afford to continue their education online and those who cannot.
The closure of schools has also had a negative impact on the mental health of many students. With no face-to-face contact with friends and teachers, some students have felt isolated and anxious. This has been compounded by the worry and uncertainty surrounding the virus itself.
The situation with coronavirus has improved and schools have been reopened but students are still catching up with the gap of 2 years that the pandemic created. In the meantime, governments and educational institutions are working together to find ways to support students and ensure that they are able to continue their education despite these difficult circumstances.
Effects of CoronaVirus on Economy
The outbreak of the coronavirus has had a significant impact on the global economy. The virus, which originated in China, has spread to over two hundred countries, resulting in widespread panic and a decrease in global trade. As a result of the outbreak, many businesses have been forced to close their doors, leading to a rise in unemployment. In addition, the stock market has taken a severe hit.
Effects of CoronaVirus on Health
The effects that coronavirus has on one's health are still being studied and researched as the virus continues to spread throughout the world. However, some of the potential effects on health that have been observed thus far include respiratory problems, fever, and coughing. In severe cases, pneumonia, kidney failure, and death can occur. It is important for people who think they may have been exposed to the virus to seek medical attention immediately so that they can be treated properly and avoid any serious complications. There is no specific cure or treatment for coronavirus at this time, but there are ways to help ease symptoms and prevent the virus from spreading.

Cornell Law School Breaks Through Barriers to Public Service Law Careers
By eileen korey.
Cornell Law School is dramatically increasing its support for graduates pursuing public service careers, setting a new standard among the nation’s top law schools. Now, graduates will be empowered more than ever before in their efforts to pursue full-time careers in the public sector.
Beginning in June 2024, Cornell Law will increase the salary cap eligible for full reimbursement for federal loans from $80,000 to $120,000 for graduates in public service jobs. Further, Cornell Law will also offer partial reimbursements for those with salaries between $120,000 and $150,000. Depending on the circumstances, the plan may eliminate the entirety of law school debt for some graduates.
Cornell Law also has a more expansive definition of public interest law than many other law schools. Cornell graduates can qualify for loan forgiveness—known internally as the Loan Repayment Assistance Plan (LRAP) —if they work domestically or internationally in jobs with federal, state, or local government entities, nonprofit organizations, or labor unions.
“We want our law students and graduates to have more options and feel less constrained in their career choices,” says Shane Cooper ’03, associate dean for admissions and financial aid. Cooper says a law career in service to the public interest is a laudable and aspirational goal for many law school students and graduates. But the economic realities of lower salaries in public interest law and the burden of law school loan repayments have prevented many from pursuing their passions.
“In their application essays, many students express a desire to work in government, public and nonprofit sectors,” says Akua Akyea, associate dean for career development. But it’s hard to manage the finances, and graduates opt instead for jobs in corporate law to afford loan repayment and living expenses. “It shouldn’t be an either/or proposition,” says Akyea. “The goal is to give every Cornell Law graduate the freedom to make a decision that is best for them.”
The change in LRAP eligibility requirements applies to new graduates and those who’ve graduated within the last decade. Akyea and Cooper point out that many graduates who began work in the public sector with LRAP support ended up leaving their public service jobs when their salaries increased beyond the $80,000 cap. Now, the new cap means they can afford to keep doing what they love to do.
Akyea and Cooper will also be revisiting applications to LRAP made by recent graduates for calendar year 2024. “There were a handful of people who applied in December 2023 for calendar year 2024, but we had to turn them down because their jobs were paying more than $80,000,” says Cooper. “So we will be doing some retroactive qualifying and awarding of funds.” Alumni who believe they may qualify for this benefit in calendar year 2024 are encouraged to contact Cornell Law Financial Aid at [email protected] .
Jens David Ohlin, Allan R. Tessler Dean and Professor of Law, credits generous alumni for providing some of the resources critical to the expansion of the LRAP. “The loan repayment promise we make at Cornell allows us to deliver on the dreams of individuals who want to use their law degree to serve the public interest,” Ohlin notes. “Expanding opportunities for our graduates will attract more aspiring lawyers to Cornell, and, ultimately, enhance their impact on our nation as they consider more diverse career options.”

A Rare Bright Spot for a Canine Lover Doing Time: Raising Puppies to Become Service Dogs
Adam roberts reflects on the highs and occasional lows of training labrador retrievers for the puppies behind bars program..
C hristmastime 2022 saw me getting up on another wall in Fishkill Correctional Facility. As in, painting another mural, the seventh since early November — when my pup Lexi left. I was staying busy to avoid spinning too adrift in a spacey dark void of loss.
“That's why I couldn’t join that program,” my friend Ant said. He was talking about Puppies Behind Bars (PBB), a program that allows incarcerated people to live in a special unit and train Labrador retrievers to become service dogs.
I took my first PBB class in August 2019. I signed the puppy raiser contract, agreeing that if I was assigned a dog, it would stay with me no longer than two years before being placed with a wounded war veteran, first responder or law enforcement agency.
The housing unit for PBB was serene relative to the madhouse maximum security dorm I’d come from two months prior. Before I could set down my bags, two Labs came wagging over, sniffing out the new guy. I was so happy. Between the dogs, single rooms and the courtyard with trees, I didn’t feel imprisoned. And for the first time since 1999, I was touching a dog.
A s the new guy, I looked for opportunities to contribute — exercising dogs, wiping them down, picking up poop. Outside of the weekly classes taught by outside instructors, I learned from senior raisers and by closely watching the dogs. I developed favorites: There was Charlotte, a big yellow girl, and Shadow, an elder statesman.
After a month, when instructors and peers deemed me ready, I was permitted to have my first overnight with a dog — Shadow — who slept in a crate in the room. For 24 hours, I was responsible for his feeding and toileting. I had to provide him with three hours of exercise and review commands he’d been taught by his raiser, Ron.
Ever since, I’ve been giving PBB my all, back-burnering my art and publishing , and decreasing the amount of hours I work as a peer counselor in Transitional Services.
I n March 2020, when COVID-19 happened, there was death and deprivation the world over. But my life was a luxury vacation of sleeping in, playing with dogs, training, learning, napping, cooking elaborate meals, more playing, sleeping and repeating. Puppy life, at least, kept on. When Atticus was destined for a family (“fear barking” disqualified him from working as a service dog), I walked him to the gate, crying — he was the only pup who chose to hang out with me.
Three months into the pandemic, I was selected for a puppy! Lee arrived with siblings, Maddie and Jules. They were all beautiful black Labs, aged 10 weeks. On June 8, 2020, our bond began. I was now responsible for another’s well-being: I was Lee’s raiser, trainer and first responder. I celebrated every accomplishment, fretted over problematic behaviors and saved baby teeth to tape into the weekly journal we keep for our pups, showing the dog’s sponsor and their forever person what puppyhood was like. Oh, to be a Lab in its first years! And what you think of as a harsh prison, is actually a dog’s dream: pack mates ready to romp, humans who “speak dog” and weekend socialization trips to New York City with volunteers.
I was learning so much about dogs and their behavior, but also about softening my ego by asking others for help. Then November struck.
Through a video screen, I learned that Lee’s “environmental awareness” suited him for scent work. He’d be leaving for further training to become an explosive detection canine. You might envision a dog being blown up, but what I learned in preparing Lee is that detection work is fun for a dog. They get to sniff, jump, climb and find. On Dec. 21, 2020, I walked my best friend to the gate one last time, sobbing the entire way.
Over the six months we had together, I had watched Lee grow, helped him learn and nursed him post-neuter. When he left, I remember coming back to the unit and staring at a blank TV. I realized just how close we’d become and what he meant to me as someone who’s always looking to connect with others. It was a dark, cold winter.
W hen I was selected for my next pup, Lexi, I felt I wouldn’t be able to love her as I did Lee. I needn’t have worried. On Feb. 18, 2021, I got Lexi, a little yellow furball who looked up and, as I tucked her into my coat, sighed with contentment.
Every month, I charted her height on my door, and I began to think of her eventual departure. That summer, Lexi was chosen for breeding. Upshot: She’d be with me for at least another year.
The memories we made could fill a book, and someday will. Like all the dogs I’ve worked with, I brought Lexi to the facility’s weekly orientation for new arrivals. Guys on the compound, registering her growth, asked, “Is that the same dog?”
O n May 6, 2022, Lexi began a two-month “swap” with Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, the women’s prison where Gloria Gilbert Stoga founded Puppies Behind Bars in 1997. (Fishkill was the next site, in 1998.) Swaps “generalize” the dog to working with others. Typically, a swap lasts one month, but Lexi’s was extended so I could work with Mikey, a funny, quirky girl who quickly grew on me. And it wasn’t just Mikey. There were other dogs who visited. Though I wasn’t their swap raiser, I enjoyed playing uncle to Lee’s brother, Vinny, and Lexi’s sister, Lori.
Still, every departure is a disconnection. It doesn’t get easier with practice, but I know I can do it. Though knowing is not always enough. With 24 years in prison and a parole hearing in sight, incarceration lands on me differently these days.
Is this a “darkest before the dawn” situation? PTSD? Anxiety and depression? Likely, it’s some funky combination. So, when I got the heads-up that Lexi would be staying for at least a year, I was partially relieved.
For 20 months we moved as partners. All you need to know about Lexi is that she’s a unicorn who happens to look like a dog. She is the best of all things: smart (seeming to learn commands by osmosis); spunky (ready to romp with big boys like her buddy, Jules); self-contained (making her own fun with toys in the yard); a rockstar partner (moving through crowds was a breeze). Because people aren't used to seeing me without a dog, I could hear in advance, ‘Hey, where is she?’”
I resisted the urge to note our last time doing something — last nail cutting, last fetch session, last night in art class. When her final morning with me came, it was so hard.
I used all the tools: writing about it, drawing, talking to others, self-referring to a mental health clinician. Staying busy helping newer raisers and making art provided the gift of space and time to work through the loss of Lexi.
I n the winter of 2023, with a week’s notice, I received Annie. She was my third dog, and puppy-proofing was old hat: set up the crate for a tiny pup, remove choking hazards from the floor and bank lots of sleep.
On Jan. 5, an instructor came after dark. She handed Phil, a puppy who looked like a baby polar bear, to my unit-mate Josue. She gave me Annie, a big-eyed little girl who was an animation studio’s version of cute. Annie’s a different dog from Lexi — they’re all unique — but she is equally lovely in different ways. She challenges me to be a better trainer.
Each of my dogs has been a teacher. Lee: Stay present, you can choose what you pay attention to. Lexi: Smile and get on with it. Annie has taught me the most. And what I’ve learned is that caring for others is my special purpose.
Annie may “graduate” this summer. She’ll be 20 months, and I’ll be going before the parole board after 25 years. Who knows? Maybe we’ll leave prison around the same time.
I sure hope so, but one thing is certain: Like the contract stipulates, we’ll part company. I will miss Annie something fierce. But I will move forward, richer for her unconditional love.

Pandemic Treaty Talks Will Go on After Missed Deadline, Some Progress, WHO Says
January 10, 2024. REUTERS/Susana Vera
By Jennifer Rigby
LONDON (Reuters) -Talks to draw up a global pact to help fight future pandemics have ended without a draft agreement by the expected deadline, but progress has been made, the World Health Organization said on Friday.
Negotiators from the World Health Organization's (WHO) 194 member states were hoping to have a final draft agreement by the end of Friday, with a view toward adopting the legally-binding text at the World Health Assembly later this month.
But they missed that deadline and will now continue negotiations over the coming weeks ahead of the assembly, the WHO, which is hosting the member-state led negotiations, said in a statement on Friday evening.
"This is not a simple exercise," said Precious Matsoso, the co-chair of the intergovernmental negotiating body leading the talks. "Getting this done means getting it right."
The aim of the document, alongside a series of updates to existing rules on dealing with pandemics, is to shore up the world's defences against new pathogens after the COVID-19 pandemic killed millions of people.
But there have been deep disagreements throughout the negotiating process, particularly around equity, and the timeline for reaching an agreement was always ambitious, experts said. The accord has also become politicised in some countries.
VACCINE SHARING
Some of the treaty's most contentious elements, including details around a “pathogen access and benefits system”, have already been pushed back for later discussion, with a deadline in two years. The system intends to codify sharing of material with pandemic potential, such as new viruses or strains, and ensure all countries benefit fairly from vaccines, drugs and tests developed as a result.
The existing draft treaty includes a clause asking pharmaceutical manufacturers to reserve 10% of such items to donate to the WHO, and 10% for the agency to buy at affordable prices to distribute in poorer countries during health emergencies.
A report earlier this week in the Britain's Telegraph newspaper said the UK would not sign a treaty the country says would force it to give away a fifth of its vaccines.
An official involved in the talks said while most countries supported a commitment to fairer vaccine access, a fixed percentage was not finalised.
An existing agreement that governs pandemic influenza also has a clause about selling vaccines at affordable prices or donating them to WHO. It allows for between 5% and 20% for both options, to allow for flexibility in negotiating with manufacturers.
This framework is what would be brought into play should the H5N1 strain of avian flu, which has raised alarm after being identified in cows in the United States as well as among other animals and birds, become easily transmissible between humans.
The WHO currently assesses that threat as low as there has been no evidence of human-to-human spread.
External experts said losing political momentum for the pandemic accord was a risk if there were long delays, particularly in an election year for many countries. But they said it was still worth fighting for the treaty.
"There are proposals on the table that, if they went the distance, could make a difference," said Michelle Childs, director of policy advocacy at the Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative (DNDi).
"Our collective global health and security perhaps would be even more vulnerable if the agreement fails than if the process never began," said Alexandra Phelan, a global health law expert at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
