After 9 months into the pandemic, people all over the world are experiencing COVID fatigue. The 2020 holiday season shows people are taking the pandemic less seriously than they were at the beginning. While many isolated themselves or had significantly smaller gatherings, some forget that the United States continuously breaks infection rate records. Nine months after the shutdown, the United States saw its largest increase in cases with 210,000 reported positive tests in a 24-hour period.
