“Covid still a threat in CNY, but as one expert says: ‘The worst is behind us.'”

David Larsen, associate professor of public health in Falk College, was quoted in the Syracuse.com story “Covid still a threat in CNY, but as one expert says: ‘The worst is behind us.’” Larsen, who studies epidemiology, believes that the worst of COVID is over both for the U.S. as a whole and Central New York, but people must still remain vigilant in fighting the spread of the virus. “I am optimistic that the pandemic will come to an end, and I hope our return to normal lives is coming more quickly than we realize as the vaccine rolls out and we keep the masks on,” Larsen says.
