Doing a 2020 

Context: 2020 refers to the year were it was proven in a life size experiment that Murphy's Law applies. Let us remember this adage: "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong".
Adhering to its application, citing Peter Drucker regarding the dealing on complexity of management; <<Drucker's Law>>: "If one thing goes wrong, everything else will, and at the same time."
Tracking monthly we may even expand to the <<Finagle's law of dynamic negatives>> a.k.a British wider axiom<<Sod's law>>: "Anything that can go wrong, will—at the worst possible moment."

Related arguments:
- Australian bush fires/Kobe Bryant accident (the year started in mourn)
- Coronavirus pandemic
- Iran attacks US bases in Iraq / US kills Iranian general Iranian Qasem Soleimani (causing war fears)
- COVID-19 death toll rising (managing worldwide the pandemic)
- World's biggest lockdown (the management was poor)
- Olympics postponed (first time in history this major event is cancelled for other reasons than war)
- Bloodbath at the markets plummet
- Biggest Locust attacks (things going poorly at the worst possible moment)

<<Things went 2020>> already means by the end of June, as most of memes have pointed to "worst year ever - would not recomment", ranging from the fully active sci-fi to the epic post-apocalyptic world life.

Another applycation to this, is rephrasing or substituting "sh!t happens" or the current "F", massively and in all fronts.
- Don't worry, you will get out of this one, sh!t happens.
- I know bro, but right now it feel 2020 level sh!t all over.

- How is everything going at home?
- Man it is full 2020 here with the kids.

- I was so invested in that series and they are doing a 2020
- What?
- Yeah bro, they canceled it.

- How is your boyfriend doing?
- I had to brake up with him, he went 2020 last week.

- Dude what happened to your phone screen?
- I had it coming, girlfriend went 2020 on it over a joke.

- I had a feeling it would go 2020, everything was going too nice.

- I was in the zone! I don't know hwat happened.
- Bro 2020
