World on brink of fourth wave of coronavirus

8. Two things are currently giving me hope.

Surprisingly, one of them is not the ongoing vaccinations. At my place in the line that's too abstract to enter into my personal calculus. The Gordian knot created by the former administration's using the vaccines as a political chit and pushing the responsibility down the chain last Fall has soured me on the distribution. I think President Biden and our new representatives will work it out, but, precious time is being lost reigning in the beast that has become.

No, my main hopes lie in that new administration taking a proactive and science based approach to the crisis along with the minor belief that at least we don't have a crazy homicidal maniac flying around the country encouraging thousands of trumpanzees to hoot into each other's unmasked faces. We'll still see ill advised gatherings causing spikes, nothing like those were. I'm confident the rallies were causing a significant spike in the infections and may have led to some of the problems with variant spreading and mutation now.
