The COVID-19 pandemic is a generation-defining, ongoing tragedy. Its impact has been far reaching and felt in every corner of society, from the millions who died from their infections, the public measures taken to contain the spread of the virus, or the many people for whom a COVID infection was a disabling event that changed their lives forever. Unfortunately, messaging around the disease and attempts to contain or manage it were quickly politicized, impeding the ability to disseminate accurate information about the virus from trustworthy sources. Even today, as vaccines have been available for several years and discourse remains tense, many leaders have declared the pandemic to be a thing of the past. But these proclamations are misleading, eschewing the opinions of many experts and minimizing the lived experiences of countless folks who struggle to survive our new normal.
