Much of 2020 was like stopping on the curb before crossing a street, looking carefully both ways, then stepping out and then getting hit by an airplane as one observer who somehow held onto a sense of humor put it.
It was not a good year for most people. Millions remain unemployed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many small businesses are closed, and some will never reopen.
Millions of our children and grandchildren have suffered gaps in their educations.
And we have lost so many neighbors, co-workers, friends and family members to the virus.
Unfortunately, COVID-19 does not use a calendar. Our war against the virus will continue long into 2021. Deliveries last month of vaccines against the disease are not, as Winston Churchill might have put it, the beginning of the end but, perhaps, the end of the beginning of the worldwide scourge.

In order to shed more light on what to expect in the coming months, the National Interest reached out to more than a dozen medical experts across the United States to get their personal opinions. Here is what they had to say.
As each month passes amid this ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the daily number of infections has continued to march in one direction only steadily upward.
In the latest rolling seven-day period, the United States is averaging about 215,000 new cases per day, according to data compiled by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Last Saturday, a grim new record was set when nearly 300,000 new cases were reported, and the cumulative death toll surpassed more than 350,000 on the same day.

2020 was a year of record population lows. Newly released Census Bureau population estimates show record lows in United States population growth, both in 2020 and for the entire 2010-to-2020 decade. California’s population shrank for the first time as far back as records go, with the Census Bureau estimates indicating that California’s population decreased by about 69,000 residents in the year ended July 1, 2020 .
The United States is not alone.
The population of South Korea, Asia’s fourth-largest economy, also fell for the first time in its history in 2020. In fact, the working-age populations of Hong Kong, Japan, Mainland China, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand all peaked back in 2015 and will continue to decline at an accelerating rate in the coming decades. By 2050, the proportion of elderly in their populations is expected to increase to 27% from just 7% in 1995.
