Alcohol-related deaths rose to 99,017 in 2020, up from 78,927 the previous year, a 25 percent increase. That compares with 3.6 percent average annual increases between 1999 and 2019. In adults under 65, such deaths slightly outnumbered those from Covid in 2020. The rise points to factors like soaring stress levels during the pandemic and decreased access to general medical treatment.

The transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture in this part of Central America was once ascribed to a more general diffusion of knowledge, about crops and practices. But the new data reveals that a previously unknown mass migration from the south, more than 5,600 years ago, might have helped give intensive maize farming its start in the region.

After a long career in food and feature writing, Nunn found she couldn’t get hired by a mainstream publication after the pandemic began.

The kitchen staple and a bedside companion has been all but replaced by its wireless cousin; in June 2021, just over 30 percent of Americans had one in their homes. But a wave of nostalgia, perhaps fanned by the pandemic, may alter that trajectory slightly. Etsy reports a 45 percent increase in searches for Y2K and ’90s phones and a 26 percent increase in searches for rotary phones in 2021 compared with 2020.
