In-Brief

1. Americans and foreigners increasingly ask, “who is running the US -- Biden, Harris, or ??”
2. China begins the Biden era with a vicious verbal attack on the US in the first meeting of American and Chinese senior officials. Biden’s Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, appropriately returned the fire.
3. More progress on winning the war against Covid-19. We are near or at herd immunity.
4. President Biden’s approval rating in the Rasmussen Poll is 52% and his disapproval rating is at 47%.
5. NY Governor Cuomo is in deep trouble for withholding Covid nursing home death data from NY and federal agencies and because at numerous women have accused him of sexual harassment or seeking sex. He is unlikely to survive politically.
6. Vaccinations against Covid, with vaccines from both Pfizer and Moderna, have reached about 120 million doses administered. There have been very few serious reactions to the vaccines. A new J&J vaccine is now being distributed in the US. There is increasing evidence that the worst of the pandemic in the US will be over by mid-spring, about a month from now. Most of the rest of the world is still having serious problems.
7. The US economy began a strong recovery in June. The huge 3^rd quarter GDP gain shows the recovery is V-shaped. That recovery extended into the 4^th quarter as the latest data show, and the initial GDP estimates for the 1^st quarter of 2021 look strong. The new stimulus package will speed up the economy further.
