Time magazine, one of the most influential publications in the world, advanced the cover of its latest edition in which it conclusively rates 2020 as “the worst year ever.” There have been worse years in American history, and certainly worse years in the history of the world, but most of us who are alive today have seen nothing like this,” begins film critics and Critics Pulitzer finalist Stephanie Zacharek.

This edition will be on sale on December 14 and its notes propose to summarize what was a year going through the coronavirus pandemic and other very resonant events worldwide such as the US elections. U.S.A., country of origin of the publication. Zacharek continues: “It would take more than 100 years to remember the devastation of World War I and the 1918 influenza pandemic; approximately 90 to get an idea of the economic deprivation caused by the Great Depression; and in the 1980s to retain any memories of World War II and its horrors.” On the cover of this edition of Time you can see a number 2020 occupying the whole space with a large red cross above that completely crosses it out. Among other relevant events this year, the magazine will recall the fires that hit Australia and California and acts of police violence like George Floyd’s.” We have not had training wheels for this: for the recurrence of natural disasters that confirm how much we have betrayed nature; for an election contested on the basis of fantasy; for a virus that possibly originated with a bat just to turn the lives of virtually everyone on the planet upside down and end the lives of about a million and a half people around the world,” concludes the editorial of a Times edition that will undoubtedly travel the world.
