Moderna is essentially building its second generation Covid-19 vaccine, though it's framed as a booster for the South African variant. Could be ready by late summer, early fall. The pace of the science continues to dazzle. @RobertLangreth via @markets
Covid babies don't have to be the unlucky generation. But they must be helped | Gaby Hinsliff
The risk of COVID-19 outbreaks will continue long after the first generation of vaccines is rolled out, @joshmich and @jenkatesdc write. What should governments be doing now to set realistic expectations for the coming months and years?

The science behind climate change is not a hoax. The science behind COVID-19 is not partisan. And President-elect@JoeBiden and I will not only listen to the science—we will invest in it and the next generation of scientists.
Agree with @richardhorton1 that this will go down as the biggest failure in science policy for a generation. SAGE & this govt truly messed up with the result that UK has one of the highest death tolls & many people suffering post-Covid recovery with health problems.
President Trump downplayed the threat of COVID-19. He was lying at a time when early steps would certainly have saved lives. The president treated COVID-19 like a P.R. problem rather than a once in a generation health crisis.
Medically, Covid-19 is most life-threatening to the “silent generation” of people in their late 70s, 80s or 90s, but economically, the coronavirus has left these lives relatively unscathed. What generation is the pandemic’s biggest economic losers?
The Republican COVID proposal has no support for Medicaid, nursing homes, or those with disabilities. Their proposal does not meet America’s testing needs. This is not a serious proposal for the country in the midst of a once-in-a-generation crisis.
Operation Warp Speed is a historic partnership between the federal government, scientific community, & private sector to develop a safe COVID-19 vaccine in record time. The once-in-a-generation effort is already making incredible progress. 1600 Daily:
This roundup by Hong Kong authorities of pro-democracy activists is huge — it's a lot of people — from the older generation — who've been at it well before the 2014 Umbrella Movement. Governments are taking advantage of this window while the world is distracted by COVID.
Just as with covid, America refuses to contain the virus of hate that has plagued our land since its founding. With each new generation comes a new wave of infection as deadly and profound as the last. We cannot afford to sacrifice more black and brown bodies.
