Approximately three and a half months ago we were living on the knife’s edge of 2019, looking towards the new decade with a sense of unbridled, pure optimism.

And thenthingshappened. Lots of things.

We banded together as a country during the bushfires and got through that tense fight between America and Iran that potentially could have led to WWIII, but then COVID-19 happened.

All your questions about COVID-19 answered with Claire Murphy from The Quicky. Post continues below.

Now, people are raiding supermarkets for toilet paper (note: please stop doing this) and we’re bunkering down in our self-isolation chambers for the sake of public health.

It’s all very serious and a little bit scary. But if this is a sign of things to come, then 2020, please ignore that NYE post, do not come at us. Maybe consider taking a nap, instead?

Please?

You see, we weren't to know, we assumed incorrectly and we promise to eat our quarantine snacks quietly in the corner while the world gradually returns to order.

While we're waiting for that to happen - fingers crossed - here's something else to mentally chew on. Through the vessel of humour, memes and some light-hearted reflection, here are 17 memes which sum up how we feel about this year.

Notwithstanding any generational labels, children conceived during periods of self isolation in 2020 will be known as “coronials”

When they turn 13, they will be known as “quaranteens”

So ordered.
