It appears as though the worst of COVID-19 is behind us. Across the 50 states, restaurants, shops, and government offices are reopening, and even the most restrictive states are giving the green light to resume life as we knew it B.C. (before COVID).

Thanks in large part to a robust vaccination effort and growing natural immunity, daily deaths in the United States are down to about 300 (and dropping fast). Even if COVID-19 still spreads somewhat via the remaining unvaccinated population, it looks like the deadly disease is becoming something of a “flu plus.”
