Since the pandemic started over a year ago, there have been 115,000,000 cases reported for the virus worldwide. There have been over 2.5 million deaths.
In the US, there have been over 29,000,000 reported cases and 527,000 reported deaths due to the virus.
In the UK, there have been 4,182,000 reported cases and 123,000 deaths.
Vaccines are now being widely distributed in hopes of bringing this pandemic to an end. But it will be many months before most people in the world receive their vaccinations. Once most people have been vaccinated, will the virus cease to be an issue that has hugely affected the worldwide population? Or will new reported variants of the virus start the spread anew? Will a booster shot be required to combat these new variants? These questions will be answered in the months ahead.
Here in the the northeastern part of the US, schools are slowly starting to have in person classes and many restrictions are being slowly eased. But most people continue wearing masks and are practicing social distancing. Will easing of restrictions start the spread anew?
How is your country dealing with the present state of the pandemic? Are restrictions being eased in your country? Have you had or will you soon get vaccinated?
