January 1st is an utterly artificial point in time. The REAL change will be when about 60% to 70% of the population is immune. I’m thinking it won’t be before March.
This is a virus that is designed to target the weak and the stupid. The weak will die before the distribution of a vaccine is accomplished, and the stupid will refuse to protect themselves, refuse the vaccine, and die of the gasping death.
I worry about all those (and there do seem to be many) who seem to think that once December 31st 2020 transitions to January 1, 2021, everything will change (and the assumption seems to be, ‘change for the better’) when in reality (if we’re still using reality as a bench-mark), only the calendars will change: 45’s* shenanigans will continue to foul our days, covid will continue to plague us, the economy will still be great, using the DOW as indicator, or still be terrifying, using most people’s lives as indicator… sigh.

Love in the library, quiet and cool
Love in the library, there are no rules
Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime
I fell in love in the library once upon a time

2021. The year USA stalls to a standstill. China races ahead, gleefully buying our debt.Shutdown our economy, clear route to outright socialism.
