Will 2021 be better than 2020?

Idk. To me, it's always been a weird thing. Every year has tragedies and shitty things that happen. I can't remember a time when it was mainstream to say "[Insert previous year] was a great year!". There's always going to be crappy stuff that happens every single year.

This may be different, since 2020 was when we were going through the worst of the pandemic and it seems like there's light at the end of the tunnel in 2021, but let's be real: 2021 is going to have some devastating stuff. Icons will die. Violence could occur. We can't rule out that bad stuff will always inevitably happen. 

We reached a point where so many people are so politically and socially hostile. It's been like that and it always will be like that. But while it keeps escalating, the more tribal we all become. If we keep on seeing each other through these antagonistic tribal lens, then we can never have a "great year". 

So yes, on a technical level, 2021 would be better since this pandemic is slowly coming to an end. But doesn't mean it's going to be a great year or anything like that. We just have to understand that terrible things, even things totally unexpected, may occur.

This has been a devastating year. More than 1.6 million people have died in the COVID-19 pandemic, with more than 75 million cases and tens of trillions of dollars in economic damages. Millions of people are out of work and struggling to pay their bills, and more than a billion children are missing out on crucial time in school. In the U.S., this year also saw the horrifying killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, ruinous wildfires, and a presidential election unlike any other in modern times.

But there is good news coming in 2021.

Still there are two main reasons to be hopeful. One is that masks, social distancing, and other interventions can slow the spread of the virus and save lives while vaccines are being rolled out.

The other reason to be hopeful is that in the spring of 2021, the vaccines and treatments you’ve been reading about in the news will start reaching the scale where they’ll have a global impact. Although there will still need to be some restrictions (on big public gatherings, for example), the number of cases and deaths will start to go down a lot—at least in wealthy countries—and life will be much closer to normal than it is now.
