COVID-19 is a worldwide pandemic that has been impacting people since 2019. It has isolated us in our homes, devastated businesses and overall created a world most people, a few years ago, wouldn’t even recognize. However, since the testing and issuing of vaccines, life seems to be getting back to normal. Most of the vaccines have proven to be effective, especially Moderna. In a statement from Dr. Fauci, an influential figure in the world of science, “Moderna has proven to be one of the most effective vaccines in America when it comes to combating COVID-19. With 56.6% of the population being vaccinated, and Moderna being 95% effective, we can expect to see a real decrease in newly developed cases”.
With this development it does appear that cases of people getting sick in America are on the decline. Since July 4, 2021, America has only seen 2,922 new cases of COVID-19 compared to January 8th, 2021 when new COVID-19 cases totalled 300,777. Hopefully, as more and more of the population continues to get vaccinated and even more progress is made furthering the development of vaccines, COVID-19 will become less of a daily concern for the citizens in America.
