2021 Vaccine Year
Following the devastating year 2020, 2021 is a year of hope and expectation. In the United States, the most widely effected country by COVID-19, the Trump administration’s rollout of the COVID vaccines has been poor. Today, the U.S. House and Senate convene to announce electoral votes to formalize the Biden/Harris defeat of Trump/Pence. Trump zealots are gathering in DC to protest an election that over and over has shown to be fair and democratic, however, Trump continues to make false claims that agitate his following. Once the election is finalized, the zealots will grudgingly go home and Trump will decamp to Mar-a-Lago and hopefully a sense of normalcy will slowly return to politics.
Of course, many will remain resentful and angry and the country will remain highly politicized and divided. Meanwhile, I have a few predictions:
There will be a rise of mass shootings. As rage and a sense of injustice is fed from white supremacist parents to adolescents, some will act out in violence.
With the Biden administration in place, vaccine distribution will be handled by professionals and will be accelerated.
As an individual dedicated to public service, Biden will present a solemn and honest message to the country regarding the pandemic. Slowly that message will sink-in through most of the country and the spread will slow.
The Federal government will present a large stimulus aiding many individuals and small businesses.
While the stock market continues to trend up, a correction will occur that will slow wildly over valued stocks.
Global economic inequality will continue to increase.
Biden will recognize the need to help vaccinate underdeveloped and poor countries and will increase a global vaccination movement.
“Exercise snacks” will take off as a viral phrase that excites new micro-workout format.
