Over three years have passed since the first wave of the shutdown began and, while public health officials continue to admonish the public that the pandemic is ongoing, for many people the cataclysm has passed into history. The collective historical experience, which will be studied and written about by historians for generations, will pivot around the roll-out of the various vaccines.
