What 2020 means to me

In the year 2020, a lethal type of Corona virus emerged from China called Covid19, it spread around the world and caused a pandemic infection. Many countries were forced into lockdown to slow the virus down, this caused a global recession and many people lost their jobs, others were killed by the virus. Later in the year a colossal swarm of locusts emerged in the African continent and consumed many crops in North Africa and the middle east. Then a warehouse full of Ammonia nitrate exploded in Beirut and destroyed half the city, the blast was so powerful that it generated a small earth quake and mushroom cloud. In the autumn, Azerbaijan and Armenia went to war because of a dispute over  mountainous territories near their borders, Russia was determined to get them to stop because the two countries are close to them and they need neighbours at peace to trade better. The wilderness of many American states burned up because the air was a bit drier and more windy than normal so careless fires got out of control. Apart from all that, 2020 was ok. 

Despite the lockdown, I witnessed many protests and civil unrest throughout the world. Black lives matter and conspiracy theory marches and even anti regime protests were very frequent. Statues of evil bastards around the world were toppled and moved into museums. There was a large blasphemy protest throughout the middle east because France showed a gaint scetch of their prophet which is very offensive to their beliefs, that was accompanied by a mass boycott of French products. 

It was in the last bit of 2020 that Jo Biden was elected the president of America and a post Brexit trade deal was agreed with the UK and the EU, the British Covid19 changed slightly and became better at spreading by 70%.I have no idea how we will cope with this new variant of covid19 and I don't know what will happen as the brexit agreement comes into force and I have no control over it so I choose not to think about it much. 

While all the chaos was happening in the world, my son Jacob was taking his first steps and soon mastered walking in the summer of 2020. As the year went on he learnt to run and talk a bit. Then he learned many skills we all take for granted like opening doors and crouching to pick up things from the floor. He was a very active toddler and luckily he was too young to remember seeing all the tension that the Pandemic was causing. 

Now it is 2021, I don't ever want to hear the word Brexit again and I want to see an end to the Pandemic, I want a peaceful and happy 2021 for all the people on Earth.  I have no agenda and no desire to support any political group. I just tell the truth as far as know. 

I am grateful that I have good health and a job so far. I pray for a happy life and peace. I pray for more progress and less stress.
