With the start of a new school year in full swing and families returning to chaotic schedules, the uncertainty of when the COVID pandemic will end is unsettling. How will the Delta variant affect school, work, and every aspect of our everyday lives? School quarantines and preventive measures have returned; unfortunately, there is no clear understanding of when normal life will resume.
