It’s only been three months, but Twitter users have already dubbed 2020 the worst year in the history of humanity. In January, people talked seriously about the third world war, February was marked with a rapid spread of coronavirus, and March is a month when countries close their borders and all large events get canceled for safety purposes and to minimize the spread of COVID-19.
First, Twitter users were being ironic about what was happening and imagined how they would describe 2020 to their grandchildren:
2020 may go down as the worst year ever

i know we all made a lot of jokes about whether we'd livetweet the apocalypse but i think we now know that yes we would definitely in fact do that

I thought by 2020 we’d have teleportation, not people learning to use soap for the first time.

I feel like they’ll make movies about this year for sure

Can somebody blow on 2020 or jiggle its batteries or something.

Some users compared the current year with the year of 2019 that was not really the best one either. Some even want to go back.

Some memes to forget about panic for a bit:

March 12 was the final blow for users: the NBA season was suspended, Trump banned travel from Europe to the US, and Tom Hanks became infected with coronavirus.
Today was like if “we didn’t start the fire” was a day.
