For John, BLUF: Yes, 2020 has been disruptiuve, but for most of us, who have lived a while, it is not the worse we have every experienced or heard of. Nothing to see here; just move along.

Experts confirmed that 2020 was indeed the worst year, provided you have never lived in virtually any other time period in all of human history.The worst was rotary phones."We noticed that most of the respondents who called 2020 the worst year also enjoyed delicious food being delivered to them for 8 months while they sat on their couches with the air conditioning on and binge-watched shows the whole time," said one researcher.
"While we understand it hasn't been easy, we also found very few instances of Viking raids, Black Plague, famine, world war, using rotary telephones, needing to look things up in a physical dictionary, slavery, people being burned at the stake, walking miles to school, living in caves, sleeping on the ground, ice ages, Nazi holocausts, civil war, infant mortality, global floods, ethnic cleansing, using leaves as toilet paper, using leeches as medicine, using wooden mallets as an anesthetic, fighting wild saber-tooth tigers, cannibalism, occupation by the Persian Empire... what was I talking about again? Oh yeah-- most people in 2020 never experienced any of those things, so comparatively speaking it's been a pretty decent year!"
The question is, will 2021 be worse? The vaccine promises nrelief from C
