Outgoing National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins took the chance to serenade the public Tuesday to alleviate their struggles, if only for a moment, as they continue to battle the pandemic.
"Why, there's a guitar right here," he told the audience and livestream at the Health and Human Services town hall. "This is a song where the tune will be familiar to you unless you came from another planet."
It was a song for all Americans struggling through the pandemic, Collins said, and it's called "Somewhere Past the Pandemic."

"Somewhere past the pandemic, when we're free / There's a life I remember full of activity," Collins sang.
Collins vocalized a world where masks are a thing of the past and nose swabs are no more.
He depicted the idea that key partnerships will defeat the coronavirus.
"Somewhere past the pandemic, life will resume / We'll all complain about the traffic, forgetting how we hated Zoom."
