Why Year 2020 Feels Like the Longest Yr. Ever; Only Half Over, 2020 Already Is a Very Sad Year

It seems like 2020 started a decade ago -- and yet it's only half over -- the NY Daily News website reports today (July 5, 2020).

We rang in with high hopes and lofty resolutions, then dropped into a downward spiral of death and despair.

Beyond the coronavirus pandemic, we're dealing with unemployment at its highest level since the Great Depression, a divisive presidential election, and the repeated deaths of unarmed black people at the hands of racist police officers.

Today can perhaps best be compared to the U.S. in 1970 when Ohio National Guard members opened fire on anti-Vietnam war protesters at Kent State University, killing four students and wounding nine others.
