As the United States continues to rapidly vaccinate and nears the end of the COVID pandemic, Jeremiah shares some personal reflections on a year of living through a global pandemic. How did the pandemic change us? What were the medical, social, economic, medical and emotional tolls from the last year?  What did we learn about our government and ourselves?  Should a year of pandemic living make us more or less optimistic about the future?
