Only a few years ago saying "Have you ever lived through a pandemic before," is one question that seldom surfaced. The Spanish flu although considered a similar scale exposure, occurred prior to 1930’s in the beginning of the 20th century. With more than 3 billion of vaccines administered today, the infection numbers have dropped considerably, however new cases still are being discovered daily.
There is a debate about the effectiveness of vaccines. Both sides argue really well the pros and cons. The argument is that these vaccines are newly developed and can cause various abnormal reactions in humans. For the ones who are for vaccines, the argument is that it prevents serious infection and allows the body to acclimate and build anti-bodies. This choice is a matter of personal belief and a personal choice. Of course the government recommends the regular schedule of vaccines. As a Volunteer to Riddle Hospital I had to have vaccines in order to participate in the volunteer program, a few years ago. Same with the volunteer program at the local Hospice nursing home. Some tests had been institutionally done, and others are state regulated. However, it is still our choice and power as consumers and volunteers to explore vaccines or not explore them. There has not been long-enough data released about the long-term effects of such vaccines. Organizations like VAYERS at CDC show that reactions do occur, and not to be ashamed if some allergy happened. Prior to this year the sars-virus vaccines were not federally mandated. Does that leave us as guinea pigs of the first round of the vaccine? Perhaps. The cost of breath has become staying a safe distance away from others, daily hygiene practice, and wearing a mask when around others who may be unvaccinated. The CDC recently had mandated regular hand washing during previous months. December of 2021, my state of Pennsylvania had the highest rate of new cases at peak number of 10, 563 but now in June 7th, we are to a lower number of 746 cases. According to John Hopkin's, one of the good news is that Governor of Pennsylvania, has signed HB 1459 into law, on Jul 23, 2020 which establishes a mental wellness and stress management program for first responders who experience post-traumatic stress injuries or traumatic brain injuries on the job. Also Chester Country residents are seeing 96 percent recovery rate, with majority of cases being in the age 20-29 group, followed by 50-59 age group, 30-39, and 40-49, with 808 dead being reported county wide, as of today, June 7th.
