Trusting it will end

Living through a pandemic has been a trial by fire type of experience. Adjusting along the way, people, politicians, epidemiologists and health professionals have either declared safety measures to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19, or have established rules that are to be followed.

Trump’s legacy defined in one day

President Donald Trump has failed in spectacular fashion to recognize he lost the 2020 election. He hasn’t yet conceded to president-elect Joseph Biden.
