Cover: In Chinese ancient folklore, ‘Year’ ( ) is a ferocious monster, which brings disease and disaster to the world on New Year’s Eve. In early 2020, the monster ‘ ’ (SARS-CoV-2) spread worldwide causing a continued threat of the COVID-19 pandemic to the human society (village). The bridges in front of the village (hyperglycemia) may increase the susceptibility of SARS-CoV-2 infection and worse the prognosis, linking diabetes and COVID-19. Therefore, people set off firecrackers, beat gongs and drums, and paste spring couplets and paper cutouts (controlling blood glucose levels) to resist and drive away the monster ‘ ’. See pages 958–962 by Wang and Meng for details.
