The coronavirus has caused a tremendous amount of global hardship. Most obvious is the ever-climbing number of deaths caused by this complicated, baffling pathogen. The number of positive cases, hospitalizations, those recovered and individuals who have lost their lives are reported on a daily basis. Statistics that show an increase in addiction, mental illness, domestic abuse, food insecurity, job and home loss, and declining educational opportunities for at-risk school-age children are equally important, but the focus remains on the infection and death rate.
