For most of us the end of 2020 canât come quick enough. Goodbye. Good riddance.
It has been a year of challenges, in a sense, a lost year. Families, individuals, businesses largely have been hanging on, waiting for the pandemic to abate and better times to return. For some, it has been catastrophic. There have been empty chairs around too many dinner tables during the holidays.
So as the calendar turns and 2021 arrives, with vaccines beginning to go into arms, all thoughts turn to better times ahead. It will come slowly, not overnight, and will require more diligence and, yes, sacrifice. But with science and public health practices there is hope in the new year.
