Educators and workers must take control of the response to the global pandemic!
Sixteen months after COVID-19 was first detected, what is the state of the global pandemic? There’s no end in sight. Worldwide, more than 12,000 people die from COVID-19 every day, with more than 500 deaths each day in the US.
