This month marks the one year anniversary of the pandemic in the United States.
It may seem like so much longer, but it was only March 2020 when President Donald Trump declared a state of national emergency due to the pandemic. There is no direct parallel in American history to the sheer impact that this public health event has had on our country. It has taken more than 520,000 lives so far (roughly the same as died in World War I and World War II), exacerbated income inequality and contributed to Trump s loss in the 2020 presidential election. Americans have been compelled to work from home, significantly limit their socializing and wear masks in public.
