March 2021

March has marched into the calendar bringing Spring along with a renewed sense of hope as more and more people choose to get vaccinated for COVID-19 that will significantly reduce the number of patients who will end up in the ER or an ICU allowing counties to fall into the lower tiers of red, orange, and eventually yellow.

These are much needed good news as a year ago counties began to enforce stay at home orders, schools and businesses were forced to shutdown, and eventually California made the decision to impose statewide measures.

Now, we are slowly trying to get back to the daily activities we have missed so much over the past year, from siting down at our favorite diner, to seeing old classmates and coworkers whose faces became squares in a grid of online meeting apps.

The challenge is far from over and we must remain cautious and informed as the situation may change given the nature of viruses and their ability to adapt, mutate, and survive, but we are up to the challenge and we will continue to gain knowledge and research new methods that will help us in the end defeat this foe.
