So predictions and theiroutcomes one year later:
Wrong:
- Coronavirus would be seasonal like the flu
- Masks were unnecessary
- Crowded beaches would become superspreader events
- Contact-tracing apps would be the new norm
Mixed:
- Refugee camps would be
hit hardest by the virus
- Travel bans would stop the virus’s spread
Correct:
- Domestic violence would rise
- Job losses and school closures would affect women disproportionately
