A public health emergency was declared for Covid-19 on January 31, 2020, and a period of almost 5 years has passed since then. The CDC estimates 1,103,615 people died from Covid during that time.

Inflation is exactly that, a fall in the purchasing value of money.

Has the value of the dollar decreased?
