(CNN) — El covid-19 llegó para quedarse. Para demostrarlo, los contagios del virus están aumentando en muchos lugares del mundo, justo cuando la inmunidad a las vacunas está disminuyendo y la mayoría de las personas se han acostumbrado a la vida sin usar mascarillas y sin distanciamiento físico.Si bien sabemos que es lo más inteligente, la idea de volver a los protocolos de seguridad requeridos durante la pandemia hace que muchos de nosotros repitamos una frase que a menudo escuchamos de nuestros hijos: “¡No quiero!”.“Yo tampoco quiero”, dijo la Dra. Cynthia Ackrill, experta en manejo del estrés y miembro del Instituto Estadounidense del Estrés. “Una de las respuestas al estrés es congelarse, dejar de vivir sin rumbo. Y cuando se trata de aceptar el covid como una realidad que requiere una serie de comportamientos para mantenerse a salvo, algunas personas simplemente han escondido la cabeza en la arena y han dicho: ‘Voy a actuar como si no hubiera nada allí’”.Otros...Georgia Tech, a week after blowing a lead in a season-opening loss, hosts South Carolina State

Pero, ¿qué significa?

(CNN) — En los últimos meses, los economistas han añadido otro término a su léxico: desinflación inmaculada. Aunque no existe una definición oficial para ese concepto, la expresión se utiliza para describir un escenario en el que la inflación se enfría sin provocar un repunte del desempleo.Históricamente, esto ha sido difícil de conseguir, si no imposible, debido a un fenómeno bien estudiado conocido como la relación de sacrificio. La teoría que subyace a la ecuación del coeficiente es que toda reducción de la inflación inflige un cierto grado de dolor a una economía. Ese dolor tiende a venir en forma de una mayor tasa de desempleo, que obstaculiza el crecimiento económico.En Estados Unidos, la inflación se enfrió desde un máximo del 9,1% en junio de 2022 al 3,2% en julio de este año, según el último Índice de Precios al Consumo. Sin embargo, la tasa de desempleo del país bajó del 3,6% en junio de 2022 al 3,5% en julio de 2023. La tasa actual es del 3,8%.Eso está llevando a al...Investigation update: Officials review findings in Champlain Towers South collapse
