What Dr. Alice Fong can say in an interview
on Building Deeper, Authentic Connections With People: 

After a tumultuous year of COVID and social distancing, it looked like we were reaching the light at the end of the tunnel as restrictions started to loosen up, but unfortunately, it didn’t last long as the new delta variant is spreading rapidly.
