There are three additional factors to consider ahead of the release on January 15:
1) Dire covid situation: Since the latest update to UoM’s measure, coronavirus has been spreading rapidly across the US. Hospitalizations have topped the 130,000 milestone, a daily death toll above 4,000 is not uncommon, and cases also continue their ascent. In this environment, it is hard to see improvement.

Outgoing President Donald Trump has declared an emergency in Washington D.C. and ordered federal assistance to assist in President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser requested Trump issue an emergency declaration amid concerns of a second, larger attack during Biden’s inauguration. The Jan. 6 storm on the Capitol resulted in five deaths. More than 100 people have been arrested since the attack, according to
The New York Times. Additionally,
CNN reported House Democrats have introduced an article of impeachment against Trump for inciting the attack.
Trump’s approval of Bowser’s request authorizes the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide assistance for emergency actions. The Secret Service will also be well represented as former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush will be attending the inauguration with their wives.
The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives would vote on the impeachment of outgoing President Donald Trump on Wednesday on charges of inciting his supporters to carry out a violent attack on the Capitol Hill last week.
