Talk about some of the things that have changed most about the world since the pandemic began.

The split between the haves and have nots has become more pronounced - This observation refers to countries as well as groups in the US. We cannot forget that COVID is still raging across the world, especially in what we call "third world countries." The US, with all of its resources, has been able to put a dent in the disease, with diligence and good leadership. It is still the case in the US that the poorest among us have not yet been vaccinated. These include those who depend on hourly employment and cannot afford to take time off to get the shot, or worry about getting sick after the second shot and cannot risk missing work. We are beginning to see a racial gap between those who have been vaccinated and those who are not. I read that Hispanics are the largest group WANTING to get vaccinated, that has not yet been able to do so.
