We lived it. They say the year 2020 will go down in history as the worst year ever.
We know records of disasters have been kept for a very long time, and for this country for a couple of hundred years. There have been over the years quite a few wars and serious infectious diseases that took lives. Now, of course, we have people with phones that take pictures and can communicate instantly with many people so we probably have more evidence of bad things this year than ever before.
