20 stupidest things I have heard people say in 2020
I have had new insights into human behavior in 2020, thanks to these 20 statements that real, actual people have made in this year.
20. “We have not found proof for human-to-human transmission (of COVID)”
WHO, January 14

Boris Johnson, December 9
18. “Go Corona, Corona Go”
Ramdas Athawale, March 10
17. “Today on Father’s Day id like to say one more thing, yes I’m my fathers daughter and yes I am here because of him and yes I’m privileged. That’s not an insult, my father has worked very hard to give me all of this. And it is my karma where I’m born and to whom I’m born. I’m proud”
Sonam Kapoor, June 21
16. “X Æ A-12 Musk” (On being asked about his baby’s name on twitter)

Arnab Goswami, August 29
14. “For the 1/100th time, the reason we show so many Cases, compared to other countries that haven’t done nearly as well as we have, is that our TESTING is much bigger and better. We have tested 40,000,000 people. If we did 20,000,000 instead, Cases would be half, etc. NOT REPORTED!”

13. “People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?”
J K Rowling, June 7

Elon Musk, May 1
11. “Corona is not a virus, but avatar for the protection of poor creatures. they have come to give the message of death and punishment to the one who eats them.. (Chinese premier Xi Jinping should) create an idol of Corona and seek forgiveness.. (take) pledge of not harming any innocent creatures in future, then the anger of Corona will come down”.
Swami Chakrapani, February 16
10. “Wake up Sheeple!”
Countless Plandemic believers, throughout the year

5. “…As for your Ed.D., Madame First Lady, hard-earned though it may have been, please consider stowing it, at least in public, at least for now. Forget the small thrill of being Dr. Jill, and settle for the larger thrill of living for the next four years in the best public housing in the world as First Lady Jill Biden.”

4. “The Unidentified Flying Objects have asked not to publish that they are here, humanity is not ready yet… There is an agreement between the U.S. government and the aliens. They signed a contract with us to do experiments here… They have been waiting until today for humanity to develop and reach a stage where we will understand, in general, what space and spaceships are..

2. “Suppose that we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light… Supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way.” “I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute, and is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? It sounds interesting to me, so we’ll see. But the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful.”
Donald Trump, April 23 (at a White House coronavirus briefing)
1. “I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!”
Donald Trump, Nov 7
