This is the third year of the pandemic and COVID-19 has affected every person, family, business and organization. It’s clear that COVID-19 is not going to be eradicated in the near future, and our community will have to learn to “live” with this novel infectious disease. The plan for the community, moving forward, has to be realistic, based on what we know and have learned so far.
