It is time to send some good COVID thoughts around the world.
I keep hearing bits and pieces of good news regarding the killer virus.
Hospitalization rates are falling. Same for death rates. Vaccine distribution is ramping up. Federal drug regulators have approved Pfizer’s vaccine for children ages 5 to 11.
Are we turning the corner yet again on this virus?
I trust you remember a time about six months ago when a new president took office, declared war against the virus and then promised to be “independent” of the killer by the Fourth of July, aka Independence Day. You get the symmetry, right?
Well, it didn’t happen. Variants kept popping up. The delta variant has proven to be the most troublesome.
Now, though, we’re getting dribs and drabs of good news.
Again! Once more!
Is this the actual beginning of the end to the virus that has killed nearly 700,000 Americans?
Please let it be so.
