The US is making great progress on vaccine distribution and national death tolls are falling. But new variants are spreading and some states are seeing disturbing spikes in infection. The world is itching to re-open post pandemic but the very of “post-pandemic” may be illusory with out of control COVID in many parts of the world and unsatisfactory government responses in many others.
