More software libraries develop that use quantum algorithms in the backend.
One of the major company among IBM, Nvidia, Intel, Apple and AMD will release a prototype minimal viable Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) alongside CPU similar to GPUs.
Obligatory Year of the Linux Desktop prediction. :)
JavaScript frameworks will feel a lot faster with more accessible implementations of SSR and React finally shipping concurrent-mode.

There will be some violence on or just after January 6 (certification of electoral college votes) and January 20, but it will be minor. Trump will rage and sulk, but Twitter will cancel his account on January 21 for violation of terms of service.

People still wear masks quite a bit.
Parents of children in closed school systems in the suburban US will get even more outraged as schools stay closed into 2021, with dramatic political consequences.
Finally the US succeeds at anti trust for some big tech, though not for more beloved brands like Apple
Post COVID, Massive explosion of travel and restaurant visiting causes tons of demand that the waning industry can’t meet.
Major industrialized countries have better surveillance for potential pandemics. It’s taken much more seriously.
The major issue shifts to something completely unexpected (not Covid) by years end
