It's only April and this year has already been a disaster. Let's delete this entire year and pretend it never happened. Social distancing necessary too. ^{[April Fools!]} Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 00:03, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic which in turn will redirect to Timeline of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic in April 2020. My rationale is as per the news. Its only coverage of 2020 is in the context of the pandemic. Only. — J947 ^{(user | cont | ess)}, at 00:16, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
