As Covid-19 Continues, US has Made Progress in Reducing Cases and Vaccinating the Public

At the beginning of this year, the US saw the highest number of Covid-19 cases and deaths it had ever seen. Personal protection equipment (PPE), like masks and gloves, was next to impossible to find and purchase resulting in the worst shortage since the start of the pandemic. On top of a PPE shortage, price gouging and supply chain disruption shook US businesses to their core. 2021 was off to a rocky start but has managed to turn itself around with the hard work of leaders and individuals working to stop the virus. Fighting coronavirus is far from over, but we have finally begun making visible progress in getting control over it, and normalcy is now something we can begin to imagine again.
