Followers of Donald Trump besiege US Capitol, January 6, 2021 (Kenny Holston/New York Times)

The death toll from Coronavirus will reach 500,000 this month, and the economy is still in the midst of a serious downturn, with millions unemployed in the past year. Social and racial issues have been highlighted by mass marches, and damage from the Trump Administration must be repaired from immigration to climate change to health care.
