Thirteen months into the coronavirus pandemic, a weary public is wondering what’s next.
Is another wave of COVID-19 coming? Can the vaccination campaign keep it at bay? Where is the illness now spreading? When will herd immunity be reached?
Recently, there have been both positive and troubling developments.
Most significantly, on Tuesday, April 13, Ohio officials heeded the recommendation of the CDC and the FDA and halted use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in the state, after six nationally reported cases of severe blood clots, including one death, were linked to the vaccine.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine addressed the issue at a briefing April 13. He said that after a call with the White House earlier in the day, he learned the recommendation was to help health providers treat any issues that arise from the shot.
