Optimism? Finally?

It seems like the Hunger Games for vaccines at times. Trying to get vaccinated for COVID seems to be a difficult task for some, but hopefully that will soon be a thing of the past.

I was encouraged by the announcement yesterday that by the end of May all adults in America will be able to be vaccinated. If only the states and local communities can figure out how to distribute the vaccines. 

With the increase in vaccinations--as of yesterday I saw that 8 percent of Americans were fully vaccinated, the news is reporting that the CDC will be coming out with new guidance soon--maybe even tomorrow. 

Could it be? Are we beginning to turn the corner on the COVID pandemic? 

It is clear that during the past two months the mood of the country has gone from hopeless to hopeful. Where before there was no coherent plan the transformation has occurred resulting in action and results. The focus has changed from concern about one person into concern for all persons. We are beginning to become optimistic about defeating the coronavirus!

Maybe the Winter of our Discontent will blossom into the Spring of Deliverance?
