The reason 2020 seems so jinxed is that global civilization relies on natural and human networks of such complexity that their interactions generate unpredictable events with increasing frequency. It started as far back as Brexit in 2016 and has been accelerating ever since.
The understandable hope that 2021 will bring new "luck" may be cruelly dashed. The danger is that 2021 will be even stranger than 2020.
The cherished establishment goal of a "return to normalcy" may be a mirage. The old world may be gone forever and the new one disconcertingly strange.
We've got to do what can be done now, as circumstances permit instead of waiting tiĺl everything is back to the way it was.
