The pandemic news continues to be encouraging, with the number of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths all declining.

I have been told that I am someone who looks at the glass as being half full rather than half empty, but I really do think that things will improve by springtime.

I don’t think any of us here in Vermont ever expected that we would become a COVID-19 hot spot in the U.S., nor that we would remain in this status for so many weeks.
