Here in Israel we have no idea what the political parties will be running in the coming, untimely, election.  As a member of the Labor party (I know, it sounds ridiculous but I’ve been a member since I was 10) I keep getting polls about who i would chose for the head of the party.  And the possibilities keep changing.  What if Ehud Barak decides to come back?  So many enemies, so many supporters.   

And of course, what difference will it make?  Will the government alter in any way?  At the moment even our medical decisions are so strongly influenced by blocks in the government, is it possible to create a government that treats the plague objectively, practically?  At the moment – after two weeks of ‘lockdown’ the numbers continue to remain steady – because no one believes the government – and do their best to get around the laws.  We need faith, trust, honesty, and we can’t pull together to beat this virus until we get it. 

The same is true for the US of course.    

So will Biden change the atmosphere?  I think so.  There is such a mess that any order will improve the outlook.
