The Coronavirus has proven to be a lot worse than many imagined as over 1.5 million people in the United States have been infected. Not to mention, hundreds of thousands of people have died and cities around the world continue to be under lockdown. These are truly unprecedented times and it's important for everyone to stay calm and stay safe.

While this may be an extremely difficult time, there are certainly better days ahead and we can't wait for them to arrive.
