Investor Newsletters

February 2022

We entered 2022 marking the end of a second frustrating year of the global COVID pandemic. Infection rates and casualties were again on the rise as the latest variant, Omicron, took hold rapidly across the country. Then, just as quickly as it spread, Omicron now appears to be receding. Positive evidence also suggests, while this variant is more contagious, the infections seem to provide protection against previous variants. Looking forward, I am hopeful we are finally moving into the endemic phase of this odyssey; something akin to an annual influenza outbreak.

With this bad news as a backdrop there was cause for great optimism from vaccines that were becoming widely available. There was truly a light at the end of the tunnel and not simply another train speeding toward us.
