Well considering 2020 has had something crazy happen almost every month, this is what I’d propose:
Jan) rather than crazy bush fires in Australia, they invent an effective eradication method for Covid-19. 99% effective that basically reduces it to a cold, it’s released to the world and enables all countries to stabilize.
Feb-Mar) unprecedented global free trade deals between most major powers, enabling nearly every country to financially recover and begin to prosper after 2020
Apr-may) the top 10% wealthiest people in the world decide to donate 10% of their funds back to society as a thank you to the world. This should effectively raise the socio-economic state of the bottom 50% of people. Increasing overall spending and helping small businesses around the world recover.
June-July) Peace in the middle East. The people of the middle eastern countries, fed up with their quality if life, finally get peace. Rebuilding of many destroyed city’s and towns, a major upgrade to infrastructure in the areas.
Aug-Oct) cure for some forms of cancer is finally achieved. Mass rollout across the world, breakthroughs in other cancer treatments.
Nov-Dec) contact with our first Alien race, peaceful negotiations begin along with the trade of information and technology. A new age of enlightenment begins
Ocean temperature drops and the arctic freezes solid and thick.
Probably starts with Kobe coming out of the woods saying he staged his death so he could live out of the public eye for a year
My wife gets a kidney transplant and we might be able to get our late son a sibling. It’s bizarre and will probably not happen, but it’s a good thing.
Dogs are everywhere and waiting for someone to pet and hug them.
