Abstract
The lessons of this pandemic have been painful; a health care system ill prepared to manage volumes of patients, short supplies of protective equipment to keep direct caregivers safe, job loss and economic stress not experienced since the Great Depression, isolation from loved ones, a constant barrage of information and speculation sometimes referred to as an infodemic, and a lingering uncertainty about how long the pandemic will last and whether it will resurge. We are also witness to the enormous generosity of people who are finding creative ways to stay connected and live life as normally as possible, to the herculean efforts by scientists to understand the pathogenesis of COVID-19 and develop a vaccine, and to the dedication of direct caregivers such as nurses, physicians, and first responders who risk their own health to care for those afflicted.
