The World Health Organization says it’s hopeful that it will be able to officially declare an end to the COVID-19 pandemic this year. But it’s warning that there’s still a danger of a new, more deadly variant emerging. Let’s look at where we are after three years of the pandemic.
Since the first outbreak in China at the end of 2019, nearly 6.7 Million people have died of COVID-19. And even now, the virus still claims more than 1,500 lives every day, worldwide. But that’s way down on earlier figures.
Vaccinations largely protect people against severe disease, but the WHO says access to effective vaccines is still very unequal.
In many parts of the world, COVID restrictions have been eased, as people learn to live with the virus rather than eliminate it.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted not only our daily patterns of life but also our habitual ways of thinking about safety, uncertainty, and risk at the personal and collective scales. While the science we bring to this pandemic is new, the arguments we bring to questions of public health and uncertainty have ancient roots. This talk explores the long history of thinking about chance, from the Goddess Fortune of ancient epic to the modern rhetoric of personal risk.

Jennifer A. Jahner, Professor of English, Division of Humanities and Social Sciences, Caltech, delivered this talk on April 13, 2022, as part of the Earnest C. Watson Lecture Series. Since 1922, The Earnest C. Watson Lecture Series has brought Caltech’s most innovative scientific research to the public.

The series is named for Earnest C. Watson, a professor of physics at Caltech from 1919 until 1959. Spotlighting a small selection of the pioneering research Caltech’s faculty is currently conducting, the Watson Lectures are geared toward a general audience, as part of the Institute’s ongoing commitment to benefiting the local community through education and outreach. Through a gift from the estate of Richard C. Biedebach, the lecture series is able to highlight assistant professors’ research each season.
