So, I wrote my Chair’s welcome note, and it talked all about the end of the pandemic and getting things back to some semblance of normal. And then Delta. As a former Atlanta resident, the word Delta has generally meant good things: dependable and thorough. Sadly, the Delta we are dealing with now is also dependable and thorough. Just in a bad way. Consequently, some of my enthusiasm is somewhat tempered by the reality that we are not completely “out of the woods” yet. On many levels, things are a lot better than last year, when we had no vaccine. But it hasn’t gone away.
