The growing number of people being vaccinated for COVID-19 offers hope that we might be turning a corner, that there might be a time where we can return to normal, or at least a new normal.
State Sen. Dr. Tom Sherman, D-Rye, said there are many different answers out there as to what a post-COVID world will look like. He said he doesn’t think it will be what it was before the pandemic.
“I have had long talks with national thinkers on this subject,” said Sherman. “We have reached a different level of awareness that we never had before. In Asia, they reached this understanding following SARS. When the pandemic hit, people in Hong Kong just masked up. They were ready and their rates of transmission were really low.”
