COVID-19 is going to follow us for years after and, no matter how well prepared or well vaccinated we are, it will continue to be in our lives in some capacity for a long time. There's a good chance that the virus will flare up now and then, or a new mutation shows up that renders the vaccine less effective. Thus, we need to be prepared. We need to keep our people safe.
