"We all want to be on the other side of the pandemic," Dr. Wesley Long, a pathologist at Houston Methodist said. "And it's OK to feel excitement about changes in mask mandates or about decreasing case numbers and mortality. But it's important to remember how we got here. A lot of the benefits we're seeing now are largely driven by vaccines and compliance."
