The curtain\u2019s falling and the crowds are dispersing. But the fight isn\u2019t over.<\/p>\n<p>COVID-19 is just getting started. The pandemic is NOT \u201cwinding down,\u201d \u201cending,\u201d or \u201calmost over.\u201d Things are absolutely, definitely, NOT going \u201cback to normal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The US will soon face its toughest challenge as a nation. Experts predict the winter will bring a surge in cases and, with them, deaths.&nbsp;Even with the miracle vaccines, the prognosis is dark for 2021. Most of us won\u2019t get the vaccine next year and those that do can still spread the virus.<\/p>\n<p>But it is time for us to move on. All of us.<\/p>\n<p>We need to figure out what our new normal is. We need to feed our families, pay our bills, and learn to celebrate our lives in this dangerous paradigm without risking the lives of others.<\/p>\n<p>We need to learn to care about our neighbors. And if our governments and churches won\u2019t lead us to this truth, we have to find it on our own.<\/p>\n<p>This is the final edition of the Coronavirus in Context newsletter. I want to thank each and every reader, guest writer, and editor who participated: this was your newsletter and I couldn\u2019t be more proud of what we accomplished together.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h2>By the numbers<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr readability=\"1.4\">\n<td>Totals as of 12\/15<br \/>Source:<span>&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldometers.info\/coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Worldometers<\/a>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr readability=\"12\">\n<td>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<tbody readability=\"6\">\n<tr readability=\"12\">\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<strong>USA<\/strong>: Cases:&nbsp;18,494,339 Deaths: 327,172<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>India<\/strong>: Cases:&nbsp;10,097,540 Deaths:&nbsp;146,438<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Brazil<\/strong>: Cases:7,284,166 Deaths:&nbsp;181,978<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Tweet of the week<\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"20.873493975904\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dear patient: <br \/>I, too, gained weight. <br \/>I, too, feel sad and lonely often. <br \/>I, too, am worried about my parents\u2019 health. <br \/>I, too, feel that Covid has taken so much from me. <br \/>I, too, feel nothing is normal.<br \/>You are not alone.
