“As the virus pushes at us, we must push back. We're in a much better position than at the beginning of the pandemic. Of course, there's been a lot of progress. We have safe and effective tools that prevent infections, hospitalisations and deaths. However, we should not take them for granted.”

“GERD's [Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam] commissioning is a rare positive development that can unite a deeply fractured country after 15 months of brutal conflict with Tigrayan rebels. The newly generated electricity from the GERD could help revive an economy that has been devastated by the combined forces of a deadly war, rising fuel prices and the COVID-19 pandemic.”

“Our expectation is that the acute phase of this pandemic will end this year, of course with one condition, the 70 percent vaccination [target is achieved] by mid this year around June, July. If that is to be done, the acute phase can really end, and that is what we are expecting. It's in our hands. It's not a matter of chance. It's a matter of choice.”

“The pandemic is moving into a different phase … We think that we're moving now, especially with the vaccination expected to increase, into what might become a kind of endemic living with the virus. Against the odds, including huge inequities in access to vaccinations, we've weathered the COVID-19 storm with resilience and determination.”

“There are a few other things going on in the world right now, some of you may have noticed. We have a bit of a challenge with Ukraine and Russian aggression. We're working 24/7 on that, but we know, the [US] president [Joe Biden] knows better than anyone else, that so much of this century is going to be shaped by what happens here in the Indo-Pacific region. The Indo-Pacific is the fastest-growing region in the world, accounting for two-thirds of global economic growth over the past five years and home to half of the world's population. What matters in the region matters around the world, and challenges such as climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be tackled by any nation alone. More than ever before, we need partnerships, we need alliances, we need coalitions of countries willing to put their efforts, their resources, their minds into tackling these problems. What really drives us is a shared vision of a free and open society.”

“North Korea went into a period of very intense economic self-isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic to prevent virus spread. This put the economy under significant strain, plus sanctions were in effect, yet North Korea did not come to the negotiating table, which damages the theory that sanctions will force North Korea to the negotiating table via economic pressure. At this point, the only real place sanctions could go next is secondary sanctions against entities outside of North Korea.”

“His extremely cursory mention of inter-Korean relations and foreign policy indicates that North Korea was not ready to come out for contacts with South Korea or the United States in the new year. Faced with the pandemic, North Korea is expected to continue to keep its borders shut, focusing on self-reliance and conducting only the minimum of essential trade with China.”

“Besides surging Covid-19 cases, another concern to mitigate any optimism has been rising prices for everything including fuel and food. Inflation could dampen growth if it doesn't abate as soon as many predict it will. These are known risks at least. If the sunnier assessments prove accurate, we should shrug them off by the middle of next year. Given what we have been through over the past two years it would be understandable if the natural response of decision makers would be to remain cautious or even pessimistic. Instead, we could in fact experience outsized economic expansion in 2022 and beyond - far better than what we had before the pandemic and representing a return to levels of growth we saw before the financial crisis.”

“With many Americans travelling and gathering with family and friends over the holidays, the fear is that this will get worse before it gets better. Record seven-day infection numbers have been reported in several states, including New York, Hawaii, Delaware, and New Jersey, to rival rates not seen since the early days of the pandemic. This is a grave concern to public health officials because what this means is there's a strain on hospitals.”

“Heading into 2022 we will still COVID uncertainties but the good news is that according to the WHO we may be see the end of the pandemic towards the end of year. Next year markets would also have to contend with other issues, ranging from inflationary pressures to policy tightening and geopolitical risks.”

“The question is: is this going to be like influenza - against which an annual vaccine is recommended - or is it going to be like measles? - which requires only two doses for life-long protection. That's where many of us disagree.”

“We have data out of the UK that suggests that there may be an intrinsic mildness to Omicron as compared to Delta but it's not by a lot, and the hyper contagiousness of Omicron means that even that mildness probably won't protect the health care system. So that is why we have to curtail transmission as much as we can. A tiny fraction of a large number, is still going to be a very large number.”

“Unfortunately these measures are very little and I think are highly unlikely to do much at all to stem the tide of infections...and unfortunately with something that transmits as quickly as Omicron you have to move immediately because anything less than that and the transmission of the infection is going to outpace your efforts, it's sad but it's a mathematical fact.”

“It'll be over my dead body that I'll have to get a shot. I will not do that. I won't do it, and they better not touch my kids either. I think if enough of us rise up and say, 'no, enough is enough,' there are more of us than there are of them. There is an empowerment in a group like this where we can kind of feed off each other and really be strong.”

“Our approach to Covid has never been 'set and forget' - we will always look at options and different ways doing things as we learn to navigate our way through the pandemic. This will also help people monitor their own symptoms and go about their daily activities in a responsible manner helping protect themselves, their families and the community.”

“Blanket booster programmes are likely to prolong the Covid-19 pandemic, rather than ending it, by diverting supply to countries that already have high levels of vaccination coverage, giving the virus more opportunity to spread and mutate. No country can boost its way out of the pandemic.”
