Imagine most of millennials will become seniors and their drand children go to high school and college.

What will they learn about covid-19 and 2020 year ?

What will be the lessons for the future generations ?

How will they feel about it ?

How a History Textbook Would Describe 2020 So Far

Quote
History never ends. But history textbooks must. As deadlines for new editions loom, every textbook writer lurches to a sudden stop. The last chapter always ends in uncertainty: unfinished and unresolved. I’ve experienced this many times myself, as a co-author on several history textbooks.

By now it seems clear that we are all living through a major turning point in history, one that will be studied for years to come. Future textbook authors will write entries on the year 2020, revise them, and revise them some more with each new edition. What follows is an attempt at—literally—a first draft of history: what I might write if I were wrapping up the last chapter of a high-school history textbook right now.

Considering what climate change is going to do to their lives at our hands, they're going to laugh their asses off at us suffering through a pandemic and depression.

There won't be textbooks. Schools in the sense we think of them will no longer exist. More inquisitive children will click on links about 2020, and find dead links. 401.

Certainly the utter lack of leadership and disastrous response by Donald J. Trump will be taught and used as an example of what NOT to do in the next pandemic.

His response will also seal his fate as the absolute worst president in US history.

 Donald Trump will go down as one of America's worst and corrupt Presidents and a laughing stock.

I add a slogan for the next generations: Plus Jamais ce genre de présidence (No More this kind of presidency).
