How Well Do You Know the Year 2020?

Many of us would rather forget it, tbh.
1 comment

How much do you remember the world events and people in the news from the year 2020? It wasn't that long ago, but 2020 is a year that many of us would rather forget.

Though history will remember 2020 as the year the COVID-19 viral pandemic brought the world to a standstill, there was a lot of other stuff that happened in the same year which weren't all bad. The global pandemic forced major changes, innovations and breakthroughs in the way we work, learn, and live. These are changes that will leave a permanent, positive impact on many aspects of our everyday lives long after the pandemic passes. One day it will make for some really great documentaries and reminiscing about a challenging time.

Until then, we will test your knowledge on this dumpster fire of a year with this quiz. If you still remember a lot about the events and happenings of 2020 then you would do quite well in this 2020 trivia quiz.
