3 physician thought leaders ponder moving beyond the pandemic
AMA (May 10th, 2022) – Physicians and other health experts have learned a great deal in the fight against COVID-19 over the last two years.
“We made advancements in how we test, how we treat and how we care for patients infected with the virus,” said AMA President Gerald E. Harmon, MD. Researchers developed three safe, highly effective and accessible vaccines for COVID-19 in a remarkably short period of time.
America, however, has fallen into a “battle fatigue” from its long fight with COVID-19, despite falling case numbers and deaths, noted Dr. Harmon. “We know we’re still long way from putting the pandemic behind us … physically, psychologically and emotionally.”
