Last week, Joe Biden said that the “darkest days” of COVID “are ahead of us, not behind us,” and he’s right. It’ll be several months before enough people are vaccinated, and in that time, many more people will die, others will lose their jobs or remain out of work, and many businesses will shut down. If the two Republicans win their Georgia Senate runoffs, then the problems will go on even longer, as the GOP gets in the way of any sensible COVID relief in order to make sure Democrats can’t notch any “wins” for the country.
