COLTON — Nine patients awaited their fate in an intensive care unit at the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center.
The youngest was 26, the oldest 66. Four of them had already been intubated, a last-ditch effort to save their lives. Inside fourth-floor rooms bare of decor, they lay alone in the dark, flat on their belly and sedated because the pain of the tube running down their throat would be too great otherwise.
Helen Cordova has celebrated two COVID-19 vaccinations in her family this month.
Her mother got a booster on her 66th birthday, then headed to a boisterous family dinner at Chili’s, something that wasn’t possible last winter when both indoor and outdoor dining were banned.

Ryan Tripp is caught in a nightmare.
Like it was for most athletes, 2020 was rough for Tripp, now a junior playing basketball at Los Angeles Dorsey High. Stuck in the house as COVID-19 wiped out any hope for a season. Unable to so much as hoop at the local park.
When the Los Angeles Unified School District announced games would be postponed this week as the Omicron variant continues to surge, worry started to creep in again for Tripp. Worry that the break wouldn’t just stop at a week — that 2022 would be 2020, Part Two.
When Dr. Robert Kim-Farley heard that COVID-19 had reached the United States, on Jan. 20, 2020, he immediately recalled the grim images from China that he had been seeing online, with people dying in the streets outside of overwhelmed hospitals.
After a frenetic few weeks when the Omicron variant of the coronavirus seemed to infect everyone, including the vaccinated and boosted, the United States is finally seeing encouraging signs.
As cases decline in some parts of the country, many have begun to hope that this surge is the last big battle with the virus — that because of its unique characteristics, the Omicron variant will usher Americans out of the pandemic.
