As we enter the fourth year of the Covid-19 pandemic, we bring back several of our top faculty experts to update us on the current Covid situation and to discuss prospects for the year ahead. Peter Chin-Hong and Monica Gandhi discuss the current surge, variants, boosters, testing, flu, China, and what’s likely to happen in the spring. Annie Luetkemeyer updates us on outpatient therapeutics, with a particular focus on Paxlovid and the current role of monoclonal antibodies. Finally, Steve Deeks describes what we’ve learned about long Covid and whether there are effective treatments on the horizon.
