Why Covid Death Rates Are Rising for Some Groups: The
overall rate of Covid-19 deaths has declined since vaccines became widely
available in April, yet nearly a quarter million people in the United States
have died from the virus in the past eight months. The virus is now responsible
for a higher share of deaths from all causes for younger Americans and white
Americans than it was before all adults were eligible for vaccines.

Airlines cancel almost 4,400 flights on New Year’s Day:
Ongoing staffing shortages driven by the rapid spread of Omicron led to the

2,600 of those were flights into, out of, or within the United States.
Thousands of travelers were stranded. Chicago, which saw over 1,000 flights
into or out of its two major airports scrubbed, was hit by winter storms in
addition to the virus. Further disruptions were expected for Sunday.
