After almost a full year of navigating a global pandemic, we’ve learned to pivot and adapt in so many ways, even through loss and heartbreak. On February 22, 2021, President Joe Biden tried to help ease the heartbreak of so many Americans who are grappling with loss and the heartbreak of spending holidays without loved ones.
“For some of you, it’s been a year, a month, a week, a day, even an hour. And I know that when you stare at that empty chair around the kitchen table, it brings it all back, no matter how long ago it happened, as if it just happened that moment you looked at that empty chair. The birthdays, the anniversaries, the holidays without them,” Biden addressed the nation.
Coronavirus cases have surged after almost every major holiday in the United States. While cases have been falling in recent weeks due to social distancing efforts, mask-wearing, and the painfully slow vaccination rollouts, the threat of infection remains in the U.S.
As we approach yet another holiday weekend, we must change how we approach and celebrate Easter in 2021 to help decrease the rate of new COVID-19 infections. Vaccines are rolling out, but it is slow-going. In the meantime, here are 7 tips for celebrating Easter this year.
