Yesterday the first person in the United States received the Coronavirus vaccine. But we also crossed a nightmarish milestone: 300,000 Americans have died from the virus. I am living in a time that historians will look back at and see as some of the darkest days in America. The news is mixed because we have hope as the vaccine is being rolled out, but it will take several months until most Americans can receive the vaccine.

Relief is on the way, but it’ll take time.
