Remember back in late 2019 or early 2020 when everybody was terrified that they could get infected with COVID? Those times are over, and whether we like it or not, most Americans have already been infected with the coronavirus.
The world has also come up with plenty of medical ways to tackle the COVID pandemic. There are medications and vaccines now, and they saved numerous lives.

The news shouldn’t surprise anyone, as the US is easily the most affected country in the world by the COVID pandemic.
