2020 2.0. The toned-down version of last year, but not much better.
The world was generally still in a shitty state. The COVID-19 pandemic still raged, with Delta and Omicron upending our lives further. But at least events went on this year, such as the Olympics (delayed from last year), Eurovision, etc. There were more crowds and gatherings this year, as well as packed stadiums, as we try restoring some normalcy.
Most importantly was the vaccine rollout, preventing hospitalization and death for those taking it. Most people got the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA 2-dose shots, with some also getting J&J, AstraZeneca, etc. Conspiracies and anti-vax sentiments ran rampant, with many in the US saying "no", and there were many protests against vax mandates/passports worldwide.
Divisions in 2021 are getting worse in the "Divided States of America". Democrats and Republicans have increasingly irreconcilable differences. With the historic events of 1/6 and other factors, we may be headed towards civil war in the next few years. 1/6 and the stolen election claims didn't prevent Biden from being inaugurated and attempting to lead during a multitude of crises: pandemic, supply chain, border, inflation, inequality, mental health, threats from Russia/China, rampant gun violence, climate disasters, and his botched Afghanistan withdrawal.
Even the weather was crazy, with the Feb. cold snap/power crisis, Northwest heat wave, Ida, wildfires, and a strange Dec. with tornadoes and unusual warmth.
In the year 2100, history classrooms be like:
- Teacher: Hey students, are you ready to learn about 2020 and 2021? Perhaps one of the worst times in modern history with the COVID-19 pandemic on top of other crises over crises, as well as a multitude of human stupidity. Warning: This topic is sensitive and will probably give you PTSD just by me teaching you about it. Are you SURE you're ready?!?!
- Students: AAHHHH nooo!!!

you know how at the start of a year if it’s bad you can tell the whole year will be bad? ... well 2021 starts with a possible war an orange President And a world wide pandemic ... i don’t think there’s anything to worry about ... (sarcasm)
2020 (new years)
Man: man 2020 was terrible ... it can only go up from here ^^
2021 (new years)
Man: good lord ... things only got worse ... who would have known? .... have you seen my gas mask?
(All of this is to be taken as a joke I have high hopes 2021 will be better ^^ ... but just in case stock up on canned food water and gas masks ... better safe than sorry)

A year that has somehow been a little worse than 2020?
"Bro, we're in 2021 and covid is still happening."
"Hopefully it's gone soon."

This is the year that ends the streak of bad years (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, & 2020). But don't get too optimistic, This year won't be good, but it won't be bad either. To start off with the cons, We will still be in quarantine until late of this year, and almost nothing new is going to happen. On the bright side, Joe Biden will become the 46th president of the united states, we will get back into the Paris Climate Agreement, and the memes will be pretty decent.
"2021 wasn't good, but it wasn't bad, either" -you in the future
