As we turn the corner from 2020 into 2021, there is widespread hope that the new year will be far better than the last. 2020 saw the emergence of a worldwide pandemic and an associated economic disaster, racial and social unrest, and a divisive presidential election.
While there is nothing magical about January 1, 2021, relative to December 31, 2020, the fact that multiple COVID-19 vaccines have proven effective and are in the process of being widely distributed gives hope that by some point in 2021, life will return to some semblance of normalcy.
