PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — This weekend on Flashpoint, host Cherri Gregg asks the burning questions about coping lessons learned in 2020 and what's ahead for 2021.

Last year began with impeachment proceedings and the the death of NBA star Kobe Bryant. Then, the COVID-19 pandemic hit during the first quarter of the year. But 2020 ended with the rollout of two COVID-19 vaccines and the election of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.

What are the takeaways from this tumultuous year? What will be the focus in 2021? Molly Harrar, director of the Division of COVID-19 Containment for the City of Philadelphia's Department of Public Health joins David Dix, a political strategist and commentator who is founder and CEO of Luminous Strategies, and Stacey Hawkins, a professor at Rutgers Law School who is an expert on diversity and the law.
