It is The Beginning of the Pandemic’s End

PUBLISHER’S PAGE

It is the Beginning of the Pandemic’s End

On Thursday, March 11, President Joe Biden signed into law “The American Rescue Plan Act.” After signing the legislation, he addressed the nation, highlighting that COVID-19 vaccines will soon be available to all adults. As a community news publication, we steer clear of politics, and we will do so regarding the legislation and the President’s policies. We see that day as a watershed moment; it was the beginning of the pandemic’s end.

The COVID pandemic has affected us all in different ways. Many of us lost loved ones. Our families lived isolated from each other for over a year. Kids stayed home from school for up to three semesters. Small businesses, especially ones where people gather, have suffered.

As our collective immunity becomes broader, it will be more critical than ever to support our local communities. The character of where we live is more threatened now than ever before. National brands and Internet retailers are efficient and predictable but make communities indistinguishable from one another. Let’s make a point to support locally-owned restaurants and venues. Go to a sporting event at a local high school or go for a walk in one of our fabulous parks.

As we come out of our COVID hibernation, take stock of all the great things living in South Florida has to offer. It is a new beginning.

Sincerely, Terry & Christy Jaillet
