An eye opening statistic was recently reported by Harvard Health.
They reported that the number of deaths associated with COVID-19 in the United States has surpassed the deaths from World War I, the Vietnam War, and the Korean War combined.
This pandemic has had a tragic impact on illness, deaths and economies around the world. Many of the long-term consequences of COVID-19 may be felt for years to come.
The nation is seeing a decrease in overall cases and Ohio’s curve is declining. So does this mean we are winning against COVID-19?
Yes, and no!
Yes, the vaccines are helping to improve control. However, public health officials and infectious disease specialists fear that this win may not last long.

The vaccines are working and more vaccines to the public means more protection from this pandemic.
