Our stories this week look at this dissonance between thinking of COVID-19 in the past tense, while also knowing that it is still a very real threat to many vulnerable people in our community.  Just becasue it isn't in the news isn’t giving us a count of Covid infections anymore doesn’t mean that it's gone away.
