- Markets: With all the focus on wild stock swings last week, we neglected to mention the big news that US oil prices topped $90 for the first time since 2014, despite attempts by the Biden administration to keep them down. Gas prices, in turn, are back up to their highest levels in more than seven years.
- Covid: The US death toll from Covid-19 has now surpassed 900,000. Another crazy thing to think about: Omicron has gotten more people around the world sick at the same time than at any point since the 1918–1919 flu pandemic, the WSJ points out.
