Inching Toward the Finish Line

摘要

Here in Southern California, masking indoors is back as concerns over coronavirus variants are on the rise. And, as I sat down to write this month's column, I was simultaneously rescheduling a children's birthday party that was derailed due to a local outbreak of the virus. For a while it seemed like we would be moving on from the pandemic sooner than later. Today, that finish line seems just as far away as it was at this same time last year. I was hoping to be able to tell you that in-person events were back and better than ever. However, it seems a resurgence in CO VID-19 cases nation wide has put a dam per on our plans once again. Still, I am hopeful that with the Pfizer vaccine's FDA approval, more people will continue to get vaccinated and get the illness under control, so that we can get back to our pre-pandemic lives soon.
