It’s Christmas and it needs to look a little different if we’re going to stop the latest surge of the COVID-19 pandemic. Health officials have pleaded with the public not to repeat the holiday travels many engaged in during Thanksgiving. Hospitals have reported ICUs with zero capacity and mobile morgue trucks outside medical facilities are grim reminders in the midst of holiday fanfare. The arrival of the Pfizer vaccine and the recent authorization of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine are much needed lights at the end of a 2020 tunnel. Director of Public Health, Dr. Barbara Ferrer still stresses that overcoming this surge means staying consistent with health guidelines.
