the country remains divided in terms of its willingness to stay the course on mask wearing and social distancing for the final month before the vaccine has been distributed. president biden is expected to preview what a return to normal will look like here. he ll also address the grief of a nation consumed for one whole year. the anniversary marks the day for many americans, the grim reality, from the washington post, quote for most people march 11th was when the crisis first became real. it was the day of a high-profile diagnosis, and official decidingation of pandemic. schools closed, streets emptied and commuters stayed home. we didn t know it then, but the virus had already infected thousands. over the next 12 months, leaders bungled opportunities to quell its spread. case levels rose, fell, rose again. hope endured and more than 525,000 people lost their lives. dr. anthony fauci, who has become a household name, first for his beleaguered attempts, acknowledged today
