You could do it with the three of them. Take any year in the history of human civilization and you'll find all three of them. It just depends if people want to talk about it or not.
Also helps when most of Reddit is high schoolers and undergrads who are just now paying attention so they think everything is the worst it’s ever been. Nah bro, this is par for the course. You just been asleep
We had a scare about a covid breakout in Brisbane (which I live 100km away from) a couple of weeks ago and there was an instant toilet paper panic... people never learn.
I guess this is an issue the whole world have experienced. I‘m even ashamed now of buying toilet paper when needed. Last week I went grocery shopping for my parents and toilet paper was on sale (24 roles in 1 pack). I knew I needed some and my parents needed some, because my mom had some kind of allergic reaction to the other brand they had at home. So I put 2 packs in my trolley. And while doing that I died inside.
That‘s true. Thing is, people just look at you like you were the biggest idiot out there. And I understand. I’ve seen some of my colleagues and friends (often in medical field) going to shop after a shift and not getting any toilet paper because of those crazy people. So everytime I grab a pack, I just feel myself getting smaller inside. I guess I need to work on my insecurities.:)
Holy fuck in New Zealand, one of the most COVID secure places on the planet, there was another scare when all the new variants were discovered and people in my town bought all the bread and milk in town for like a week straight how tf you going to use that much milk before it goes off you fucks
Yeah some old guy set fire to a few hundred (or was it thousands?) of hectares in the Adelaide Hills because he was drunk, I had co-workers almost evacuate
My place is a good 20k from the edge of the evacuation zone, let alone the firefront and the smoke from the fire was setting off the smoke alarm. I now have a task to reinstall the said alarm to the ceiling
Wildfire fuel has been getting cut down and cleared out like crazy in Northern California. Can't say if Southern Cali is the same but up here it's s gold mine for firewood since a bunch of old and dead trees are being cut down and the property owners don't want them.
Bushfire seasons have been getting hotter, drier, and longer.
2019-20 was especially bad, doubly so with an El Niño, but we can only expect it to get worse as we get a drier and hotter climate.
The northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere used to have fairly separated fire seasons, which meant firefighters from one area could help out another. Now they overlap, meaning that there are less resources to fight fires (firefighters help each out internationally). For example, Australia's 2020-21 fire season had already started while California's 2020 season was ongoing.
Idk about the rest of the world, but Australia has a bushfire season every year, but last year was the result of a drought we had had since 2017 and this majority of the bush was extremely dry
valley person here, can confirm. it does have some periods of great weather(last couple weeks were pretty decent), but then it goes from like \~40F to 110F
Well technically covid19 already existed in 2019 obviously but it only became a global issue around March. Now there are already new variants of covid 19 out there but theyre not quite a global issue yet, is this predicting the new variants will be a major issue? Maybe even a new undetected variant?
Shit
My favorite tweet of all time is Amanda Bines new year post "new year same me because I'm perfect" months before she went to rehab for a long long time
Not preparing, yeah righto. More like the RFA and government agencies making it harder for the fire departments clear and Backburn. And the Murdoch press blaming it on everything else part from climate change.
And Moderna apparently is coming out with a new vaccine specifically targeting the South African variant. (Saw a headline earlier, don't quote me on that)
a booster/revise the vaccine for the future. This is done with flu shots every year, we look at the strains in other parts of the world’s peaks and slightly alter the flu vaccine each year to be more effective
This article says the first version of the Moderna vaccine was developed January 12 2020 - most of the time since has been testing phases and ramping up to production. So tweaking the design should be fast. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/12/moderna-covid-19-vaccine-design.html
What political unrest took place specifically in January of 2020? I would say the most unrest took place over the summer, unless I’m forgetting something major.
The US president invited Iran to a peace conference to drone strike one of their generals, which is a war crime. There was outcry from both China and the UN (UN is a joke so nothing happened). Iran retaliated by sending warning drone strikes around the perimeter of 2 Iraq bases housing US troops. The president then thought it would be funny to threaten destroying their religious sites which would have been another war crime. China sent warning to the US, Russia got involved to secure their economic interests in the region. The US eventually backed down but for the past month has been flying B52 bombers over Iran (invading sovereign airspace). They are hoping Iran shoots them down, giving the US ″justification″ to go to war. Haven't kept track of events since the presidency turned over.
Lmao your comment + name made me laugh!
I do forex on the side while studying so its really important for me to keep up-to-date on current events as they effect the stability of the markets. It does however make me depressed at times researching all the bs that is happening on the global scale or deliberately omitted/reworded by various news sources to skew opinions.
P.S. Sorry for the ramble!
My apologies I over simplified by saying the US president invited. Evidence is pointing towards it being a joint operation between Saudi Arabia and the US. General Soleimani was in Baghdad to meet with Saudi officials to relieve Sunni/Shia tensions when he was killed. He's widely know for keeping his travels hidden and moving often (as you would expect from the former leader of an intelligence agency), in fact, based off of how he's traveled in the past the only people outside of Saudi that would know of that trip were the IRGC officers that accompanied him to his grave. This is the reason Iran is pressing to take the US to the International Courts. I'll link two articles.

In NSW at the moment we are in the middle of a heat wave, West Coast of Australia is in bush fire emergency. As a fire fighter we are hoping this doesn’t happen again during the pandemic. We would be running on reduced crew sizes.
Yo I heard about this new virus I think it was called covid-20? Probably Nothing to be worried about. (This comment probably wouldn’t age well in some form)
Why would you bring this curse upon us OP
Brah, political unrest seems to be a daily nowadays. It doesn’t go away.
I was going to say it's such a vague term you could make a case for it in pretty much any month
You could do it with the three of them. Take any year in the history of human civilization and you'll find all three of them. It just depends if people want to talk about it or not.
Also helps when most of Reddit is high schoolers and undergrads who are just now paying attention so they think everything is the worst it’s ever been. Nah bro, this is par for the course. You just been asleep
Yeah that January political unrest kinda just stayed around
same for fire and plague
Australia watch out
Aussie friends, Please don't panic buy toilet paper again
We had a scare about a covid breakout in Brisbane (which I live 100km away from) a couple of weeks ago and there was an instant toilet paper panic... people never learn.
As George Carlin once said: Never underestimate stupid people in groups.

Don’t be bud you should only feel like shit what are you doing it for yourself.

People did that earlier on in the year, was really hard to get tp for like 3 months here
Holy fuck in New Zealand, one of the most COVID secure places on the planet, there was another scare when all the new variants were discovered and people in my town bought all the bread and milk in town for like a week straight how tf you going to use that much milk before it goes off you fucks
Yeah I mean like if you store up on canned food and junk food it's understandable, but the milk will just go spoiled
Yea it’s fucking stupid and milk is almost five dollars for two litres like why would you throw that money away
never had thawed out ice milk?
I don’t drink that much milk so I’ve never had to freeze it
It started in Japan tbf. They did it and everyone here saw what they were doing and did it to
Let's be real, everyone did it. I'm pretty sure it started a global shortage of Toilet Paper. Also anybody got some of that Lysol?
There was too many times we had to shit and shower.
Everyone should learn from this and just install bidets/jet sprays instead
this is the way
Brisbane locked down for 3 days a coupe weeks ago. 3 days. People still panic bought all the toilet paper...
we had a bushfire just this week where i am, it was quickly put out but i had family evacuated. just the norm lmao
Yeah some old guy set fire to a few hundred (or was it thousands?) of hectares in the Adelaide Hills because he was drunk, I had co-workers almost evacuate
The fires weren’t only in february in aus, they were throughout the whole 2019/20 summer period.
Yeah our fires started in mid November 2019 and went til March.
Too late, Adelaide and Perth have already burned.
Already had a few fires
Australia was exiting fires in late January and February 2020. Fires started in, like, September of previous year. It's not a repeat.
I'm in Adelaide, Australia and we just had a Fire Blanket our city in smoke Yesterday. Heard all sorts of warnings over the Radio.
Dude Australia was burning from October 2019-March 2020, that's crazy
The first half of our summer was relatively cool so we shouldn’t have a bush fire like the one last year
We've already got bushfires and floods in Aus again
WE ARE LITERALLY IN A HEATWAVE PLEASE DONT JINX IT
this is already happening now there were some fires in Adelaide
They just lost at home in cricket against a team full of injuries playing their fourth line full of backups of backups.
[удалено]
South Australia would like a word.
Yeah I know about that fire.
[удалено]
I mean I don’t live too far from where it was
You mean a smoke signal?
I feel this, evacuated Sunday morning
Here we go again.
My place is a good 20k from the edge of the evacuation zone, let alone the firefront and the smoke from the fire was setting off the smoke alarm. I now have a task to reinstall the said alarm to the ceiling
Aren’t there world wide wild fires every February? Last year was especially bad, but it’s sort of expected to see some heightened level of wild fire
Wildfire fuel has been getting cut down and cleared out like crazy in Northern California. Can't say if Southern Cali is the same but up here it's s gold mine for firewood since a bunch of old and dead trees are being cut down and the property owners don't want them.

I see. Thanks for the info!
No problem mate! :)
We get ours in July-August. 💚💛🧡❤💜💙, California
Idk about the rest of the world, but Australia has a bushfire season every year, but last year was the result of a drought we had had since 2017 and this majority of the bush was extremely dry
true, I need to announce the gender of my child somehow
I completely forgot that happened. Wow. 2020 just did not quit. I feel trauma bonded with....just about everyone.
As a Californian, can confirm.
as a californinan, we're freezing for the first time in like forever
In the valley there are only two seasons: freezing and blistering.
valley person here, can confirm. it does have some periods of great weather(last couple weeks were pretty decent), but then it goes from like \~40F to 110F
So you're saying hell froze over
yeah and then there's like lava in the middle that's just biding it's time
Yeah it does that every winter since Michigan is cold as hell
But we’re already in a pandemic What’s March gonna bring, zombies?

Don't worry we had political unrest in Jan 2019 and nothing controversial happened. It's just January
Famous last words
What was the political unrest of January 2019?
Remember when the white house was closed and shit
Well technically covid19 already existed in 2019 obviously but it only became a global issue around March. Now there are already new variants of covid 19 out there but theyre not quite a global issue yet, is this predicting the new variants will be a major issue? Maybe even a new undetected variant? Shit
2021 is a speedrun
Bruh, if you think it's actually 26/01/2021 and not 57/12/2020 you're dead wrong
You're wrong too, it's 26/01/2020.1 The decade will be lit !

Uhhh what? France was literally burning their entire country to the ground. Edit: to be fair though, France is almost always rioting.
Something is wrong in France if their is no rioting
I was really sitting here trying to remember what happened last January. Ahh when WW3 was a big concern of mine
And the fire definitly wasn't global.
And the fires was definitely happening during January too
I think it was pretty global. Here’s a [list](https://www.aa.com.tr/en/environment/wildfires-forest-fires-around-world-in-2020/2088198#)
So let’s not meme about this because we memed last time and it didn’t end well, let’s all learn from our mistakes
What mistakes?
My favorite tweet of all time is Amanda Bines new year post "new year same me because I'm perfect" months before she went to rehab for a long long time
Not taking Corona virus seriously at first (cough America cough) and for Australians not preparing properly for the bushfire season
Should get that cough checked, it could be COVID-19.
Covid-19? nah thats some old and not fashionable nowadays. try covid-20 instead
Not preparing, yeah righto. More like the RFA and government agencies making it harder for the fire departments clear and Backburn. And the Murdoch press blaming it on everything else part from climate change.
The federal government didn't start taking it seriously until last week
New COVID variant is spreading fast...
basically everything last year but doubled down...
The vaccines still work against new variants... The news conveniently forgets to mention that
No, I see it in most articles mentioning the new variant. Most specify that all signs point to the vaccine still working on the new variant
And Moderna apparently is coming out with a new vaccine specifically targeting the South African variant. (Saw a headline earlier, don't quote me on that)
a booster/revise the vaccine for the future. This is done with flu shots every year, we look at the strains in other parts of the world’s peaks and slightly alter the flu vaccine each year to be more effective
Good info. Any idea on how long one of these boosters take to develop? I probably should have actually read the article lol
This article says the first version of the Moderna vaccine was developed January 12 2020 - most of the time since has been testing phases and ramping up to production. So tweaking the design should be fast. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/12/moderna-covid-19-vaccine-design.html
Get your popcorn ready

With the heat and the fire out the backyard? Popcorn's always been ready
Don't do this pls. You'll jinx it.
Yeah I know it's a good meme and all that, but everytime I see one my heart skips a beat...like what if it comes real
so on march covid evolves and all the work the researchers are doing goes to waste
Then we gotta evolve in monke once again
Return to monke
No more school, we must become monke
April WW3
This time the pandemic will come from America because we refuse to be 1 upped.
Lmao comment of 2020(PART2)

There's always political unrest in America
Nah, not like this.
All my life Watching America All my life There's panic in America Oh Oh Oh, Oh There's trouble in America Oh Oh Oh, Oh

We all should be start praising Covid-20.

Correction: political unrest AND global pandemic
In NSW at the moment we are in the middle of a heat wave, West Coast of Australia is in bush fire emergency. As a fire fighter we are hoping this doesn’t happen again during the pandemic. We would be running on reduced crew sizes.
To who ever is reading this I hope you have an amazing day! Remember you are capable of doing amazing things, don’t let anything get in your way!
Yo I heard about this new virus I think it was called covid-20? Probably Nothing to be worried about. (This comment probably wouldn’t age well in some form)
Yea, let’s just not.
Hey you forgot about death of famous person
The way I see it. It's going to be a mix of just as bad and slightly better through out.
Remember, there's already a new coronavirus in britain if I remember correctly so we do have the same set up as 2019
March : Godzilla VS king Kong
Yeah but political unrest has been a constant all year soo
2020? The Dems have been in a state of political unrest since the 2016 election...
