At the time of writing (March 30th, 2020), there are 9 months left of 2020. Let's talk about the most important part of 2020 so far, which is the coronavirus. This started off as a minor disease in December 2019 but then spread all over the world and started becoming a big deal in late February and early March.
The coronavirus is probably going to infect anywhere between 2-5 million people. I expect the global death toll to be between 50k and 70k, however it's hard to predict. The mainstream media tends to focus more on current statistics than projections, which are just as important. The coronavirus is currently becoming more infectious very quickly, but at some point the number will have to plateau, then drop.
The coronavirus should no longer be a big issue around July. It will still exist, of course, but not in the incredible numbers it is currently. This pandemic will be incredibly minor compared to other pandemics in history. If everything goes according to how it seems it will, future schools will likely not teach it because it is too minor of an event.
The 2020 election is in a few months, it will be a close election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. In the end, Donald Trump will win reelection but not the popular vote. The next morning, there will be mass protests larger than those after the 2016 election. Militias maybe will get involved. Martial law will probably be declared. As reinaguration day approaches; murders, beatings, and kidnappings will happen more frequently. There is a 50/50 chance of a civil war occuring. In a best case scenario, it will only last one month. In a worst case scenario, it will last 4 years. If this war does occur, it will last 2 to 3 years with a Republican victory. The death toll with range from 10 to 15 million people.
