It's been a tough year for all of us. As I type COVID-19 cases are peaking, but multiple vaccinations are on the way. It's time to hold on. There's light at the end of the tunnel.
I thought it was time for a gentle reminder that we've been here before. Globally, more people were killed by the 1918 influenza than by World War I, a concurrent, global conflict that lasted twice as long as the pandemic. They fought it the same way we're fighting COVID-19. With masks, social distancing, hand washing and improved ventilation.

Stay vigilant and keep the faith. 2021 will be a better year for all of us.
