It took a lockdown to put another dent in the Universe!

The world is taking a giant leap between the pre-lockdown and the post-lockdown period, only this time it's no evolutionary milestone for mankind but the mere human survival instincts to keep us all afloat.

Perhaps it's too early to imagine what Gen Alpha would remember or read about year 2020, I guess there are two legit possibilities to this

• 2020 was the beginning of a new era

• 2020 was an intergalactic glitch

Even if we discard the above two odds, we are surely not getting back to the good ‘ol days anytime soon.
