The Corona Virus also known as Covid-19 was introduced to the world in 2020. Roughly a year later, we are still facing challenges with this Global Pandemic. Those who are classified as essential workers, had to push through and remain working on the front lines, each day despite the fears they may have faced.

Many lives were lost due to the slow response with putting forth a plan to contain the virus. On a global scale, there have been 152 million people that contracted the virus, which has resulted in roughly 3.19 million deaths. In the U.S. there were roughly 33 million cases reported of people being exposed to Covid-19. That resulted in 589,000 people losing their lives to the Corona Virus. Many of us had asked ourselves, Is this now the new normal as we struggled to deal with the loss of family and friends. Would we ever go back to the way things used to be or would we all have to adjust and hope for the better?

During those dark times, people went into survival mode by taking one day at a time because the world was filled with too much uncertainty. Towards the end of 2020, several vaccines were introduced and are currently being distributed around the world. Things are starting to shift in a positive direction and people are feeling hopeful about the future again. Now, each day feels like a new day.
