When a team of Connecticut officials traced 84 coronavirus clusters to their origin points, they found that the vast majority of those clusters stemmed from four places: restaurants, workplaces, homes
Back at the start of 2020, I declined to do my usual prognosticating for the year ahead.
That was probably wise given the events of the year.
Instead, I quoted a post I did ten years earlier:
For employers, there will always been the next case or new law that will need to be tracked
Over the last week, while many of us were trying to catch up on our stay-cations, Congress passed and the President signed The Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Applications Act.

But before that happens, there are a few things left to check off your to do list for 2020.

Joe Biden will be the next President of the United States effective January 20, 2021.
