March 8-9th 2020 and world turned upside down for many, so much confusion, chaos and uncertainty. Everything grounded and halted! From trains to planes, cars to bikes. Market crash with indexes hitting circuit breakers, trading being halted and everyone became fearful of what was going to happen. Ban on flights from Europe, halt of h1b visas.
We were all saying, world has changed forever, we would never be able to get out of it. There is no cure or atleast it will be until 2023 as last pandemic lasted 5 years to get over.
I could go on and on!
Look at things today and you realize things will be way more pre pandemic by fall’22 throughout the world.
Everyone back to work, hustling, traffic jams, jam packed public transports and the usual stuff.
If you lost a loved one or someone close, sorry for your loss ( I lost 3-4 people aged between 32-78) and if you made it through fine, good for you!
We all lived through what was unimaginable for many!
Looking forward to 2022 and beyond!

Here's a few others:
"By 2020 we’ll see the end of IRAs, mutual funds, pension, and retirement plans, and yes, it’s true, the stock market."
"Microchips implanted in the base of the brain will restore healthy signals between the brain, the muscular system, and the neurological system, putting an end to paralysis and Parkinson’s disease no
later than 2012."
"Blindness will become a thing of the past by 2020"
"No later than 2020, thanks to the development of a synthetic material that perfectly duplicates the
human eardrum, we’ll see a virtual end to deafness."
"By approximately 2020, the educational system in the United States will undergo massive structural
changes, and not a moment too soon.
Teachers will be well paid, they’ll be subjected to thorough background checks, and they’ll be
required to hold degrees in child psychology in addition to their teaching credentials, since children’s
educational and emotional needs will be considered to be of equal importance."
"In about 2018, extraterrestrials will be making our search for them much easier—they’ll begin
“outing” themselves, safely and sanely and very much in public, to such organizations as the United
Nations, Scotland Yard, NASA, and even a Camp David summit. They’ll step forward by the
thousands and willingly subject themselves to a whole battery of psychological and biological tests,
confirming that the origins of their various species are not earthly"
Omg some of these are hilarious
"On a more positive note, before the end of 2010, to the chagrin of countless pharmaceutical
companies, the common cold will be a thing of the past. I don’t know the specifics, but the cure will
involve heat (duh). "
" Sometime between 2008 and 2020 I see a sitting president dying in office of a heart attack. The vice
president who assumes the presidency will stun the world by announcing his intention to declare war
on North Korea in light of his accurate belief that they actually are in possession of weapons of mass
destruction. His efforts to rally congressional and international support for this declaration of war
will be resoundingly unsuccessful and the source of enormous alarm, and he’ll be assassinated before
his term ends."
"Pope Benedict will be the last elected Pope. His reign will be succeeded by a new Catholic
practice of selecting a college of cardinals, essentially a triumvirate of popes who will collectively
share papal responsibilities."
"Before the year 2050 I absolutely believe that in the wake of major volcanic and subterranean
disturbances in the Atlantic and Indian oceans, both Atlantis and Lemuria will rise
magnificently from their underwater graves."
There's the world wars, the move to socialism in Russia, China and elsewhere, thr bubonic plague and plenty of other wars that decimated the local population and yet all those countries are thriving. COVID is barely a blip as far as catastrophes go.
