Time to revise the calendar.
November 23, 2020 at 9:56 am
This year has been the most epic year in history, beating out the birth of Jesus by a country mile. This means 2020 would be the pivot point. And that calls for a new dating system.
2021 would be 1PC, or one post-covid.
2019 would be 1PC, or one pre-covid.
This will simply things greatly for historians.

We really do need to get rid of that BC nonsense.

At work.
I don't see records of folks going all 'Year zero' after the 'Spanish flue'?

I like it, but I think we should make 2020 YC1 (Year of COVID). Sure, it's caving to people who think centuries start in 'zero' years, but I'm tired of trying to explain it, since they aren't going to get it anyway.
We NEED a year 0.

I think more people will die in 2021 from covid than 2020. (total world deaths)

I think you’re right. This isn’t remotely over.

My creepy prediction is that the first release of covid shots will work for a while. To the point where 6-12 months later people have all but forgotten it, and then half the world contract a third even deadlier strain and dies. Agenda30. (cull the world's population by at least 50%) ... Bill gates IS Thanos!
