Monday April 20, 2020 will be known in history as the End of an Era (Pre-COVID<\/strong>) and the beginning of a new one (Post-COVID<\/strong>). The coronavirus disease\u00a0(COVID-19) got its name from a disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (Source: WHO<\/a>). It got its name because it was first discovered in Wuhan, China in 2019 (New Scientist<\/a>). In 2020, the pandemic is far bigger than just a disease caused by the virus. It has far-reaching economic, social and political implications. COVID20 is the handle used to describe these events that have come into focus in 2020. But as is true of every major watershed in history, there are antecedents that led up to the crisis and the world after it, will not be the same as it was before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Why April 20th? It is the day that the restrictions caused by the COVID Lockdown caused a negative crude oil price, in the first time in history (Forbes<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
