The COVID Pandemic has brought a lot of changes to our world and has been a struggle for everyone. Those who experienced personal loss at the hands of this disease obviously were hit the hardest, but none of us were left unchanged. We’ve all been touched, and our view of the world altered as a result. With the completion of the vaccine, there is some hope that we will eventually be able to return to a world somewhat like the one that existed before the pandemic. The arrival of the vaccine has also resulted in a lot of questions and uncertainty about it. We’ll address some of those below.
