Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the middle of the week. Congratulations on making it this far and remember there are only a few more days until a holiday break arrives. So keep plugging away. After all, what are the alternatives? While you ponder the possibilities, we invite you to join us for a delightful cup of stimulation. Our choice today is cinnamon hazelnut (which may soon be in short supply, given the incredible shrinking Turkish economy). Meanwhile, here are some tidbits to help you along on your own journey. Speaking of which, we will hit the proverbial pause button to enjoy a respite. In other words, we will return on Jan. 3. Until then, we hope you have some time to enjoy yourselves. And of course, stay safe — wear a mask. See you next year, as they say …

France had placed an early order for 50,000 doses of the drug, known as molnupiravir.
