When the SARS-CoV-2 virus first began spreading across the globe five years ago, some predicted that it could take five years for things to recover. Now that we've reached this seemingly impossible point, it seems some of those warnings were correct. Though infections are at a relative low these days, we're still dealing with COVID-19, which kills hundreds of Americans per week and disables countless others.
To date, the death toll from COVID is approximately 1.2 million Americans, the most deaths of any country, across two administrations. The fact that this was essentially allowed to happen, and that Americans were at greater risk than we could have imagined, is an eye-opener. So too is the fact that there has been no accountability. And that people continue to die from, and be disabled by, SARS-CoV-2 infection without any movement to change the situation.
