Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19) pandemic is arguably the most important public health crisis of the last century. To date, infections with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus have caused nearly 300 000 deaths in the United States alone, while also contributing to substantial excess morbidity and mortality from delayed and deferred care. In addition to the direct and indirect health effects, policies intended to limit the spread of the disease have resulted in large-scale disruptions to education systems, economic activity, and social networks. Put simply, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the daily lives of nearly all Americans in a way that no other health crisis has in our lifetimes.
