And omicron seems to be retreating in South Africa. Health care workers stretched thin during the surge are now able to catch a break. Also, 30 years ago, the red Soviet flag came down from atop the Kremlin, and the new Russian tricolor flag was raised. Sunday marked 30 years since the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
