Current Problem

1. The U.S. has suffered from insufficient testing since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Government, hospital, and commercial labs are often constrained by policies that are focused on the population or health system, not always on the individual. Effective testing has been obstructed by delayed test availability, inadequate supplies, strict policies that barred healthy people getting tested, widespread confusion about the value and use of different test types, and many people object to the discomfort of nasopharyngeal swabs.

2. Herd immunity plays an important role in halting the pandemic. However, vaccinations have been hampered by limited availability. scheduling inefficiencies, and vaccination hesitancy based on misinformation. Those who do receive vaccinations also have misunderstandings about how protected they are, and whether they can resume pre-pandemic activities and behaviors.

3. On May 5, 2023 the WHO ended the global emergency status for COVID-19 and on May 11, 2023 the U.S. ended the public health emergency declaration. Nevertheless, the virus persists. Although many think off the virus as endemic, in the U.S. less than 17% of adults ( only 21% who received the original primary vaccine series) have received the most up to date (bivalent) booster which protects against the current variants. Moreover, masking is no longer required or used in public areas.

4. The SARS-CoV-2 virus continues to transmit within communities and new variants emerge around the world. While many people who get COVID do recover, there are significant numbers of people who do not, not only the elderly and the immunocompromised but also previously young and healthy. Nearly 7 million people have died, and at least 65 million people have Long COVID with persistent symptoms. Contagion among key players in film productions and music tours can result in costly cancellations, postponements, and delays.
