Recovering from the PandemicOur lives have been dramatically changed by the Novel Coronavirus pandemic. The San Francisco Bay Area was one of the first regions to shelter-in-place. The goal of shelter-in-place is to "flatten the curve" so as to not overwhelm our heath care system as seen on this graph. The United States has not been as successful as other countries as flattening the curve. As we are started opening up some businesses and then shutting down in Fall, then reopening as the vaccines are being given, do you feel this policy has worked for the Bay Area? Do you think the vaccines are going to change everything? Now that the state is opening up, do you think things will return to normal? Find at least one web link or graph to add to this discussion.
