Despite this week's announcement from the White House that 70 percent of American adults are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, late Wednesday the United States passed 750,000 deaths from COVID-19, the Washington Post reported. That's more than the populations of Wyoming, Vermont and Alaska, and approaching that of North Dakota.
There are still almost 1,300 Americans a day dying from COVID.
So while it is the desire of so many to get back to whatever pre-pandemic "normal" they've been pining for, the pandemic is still very much here.
Some of us have known that.
