.@SabilaKhan20 helped launch a Facebook survivors' support group four days after her father, Shafqat Khan, 76, died of Covid: "All I wanted to do was talk with someone else who was going through what I was going through." The group remains open to all who need it.

"It's been a hard year, it's been a busy year," says @Linnea_Legacy of @LegacyObits, adding that they've published about "30 percent more obituaries" for notable people in 2020 -- and while they can't all be attributed to Covid, she says, "There's so many excess deaths."

Joanna Sisk, a Covid survivor, lost her parents, Leslie and Patricia McWaters, to the virus, in the same minute. "They lived hand in hand at all times, with vibrancy, just a great deal of zest for life," she says, calling them "strong, amazing people."

"My stepmom Alice was a wonderful woman," says @JulianCastro. "On the day that my father turned 80, he drove Alice, who was feeling under the weather, to the hospital. And that was the last time he saw her." Alice Guzman died of Covid on July 10.

Jamie Worthy's sister Kim was like a second mother to her. Kim was 1 of 73 Covid deaths in a single Pittsburgh nursing home. Now Worthy, her son and her husband have Covid, too. "I put on a good face today for this interview," she says, but "this has really been a year for us."

"All of us are happy to take care of whoever comes through that door," says @Craig_A_Spencer of healthcare professionals on the pandemic frontlines. "But we were really worried, not only for our patients on how we could best treat them, but how we could protect ourselves."

In 2020, @mehdirhasan says, "Time lost all meaning, and any number of significant events became -- well, forgettable -- when they shouldn't be." So here are as many of them as Mehdi could manage in 2 minutes. Start the clock:

“You cannot make this stuff up. But Trump does!” @mehdirhasan catches Donald Trump awarding himself the Nobel Peace Prize in the usual way: by photoshopping it in.

Like Anthony Fauci, climate scientist @MichaelEMann endures threats for doing his work: "Any time the findings of science find themselves on a collision course with powerful vested interests, those interests will use every means available to them to try to discredit the science."

Georgia's GOP senators keep attacking runoff opponents Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock with racist undertones. "White supremacy dies hard, especially in Georgia," says @WajahatAli. "You might not be a racist if you're Republican right now... but you are fine with racism."

They call Democrats socialists who want free stuff, but now Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler want $2,000 Covid relief checks to please Trump. “Broken clocks are right at least twice a day,” @MsPackyetti says, “but that doesn't mean we should keep broken clocks on the wall.”

Correction: A previous tweet included a video about the police shooting case of Jacob Blake. The segment incorrectly reported that Blake was killed. Blake was shot by police but survived. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/jac…

If the Nashville bomber "was Muslim, it would be everywhere," says @DeanObeidallah. "When you can't find the religion of the [terrorist] actor in an article, you know he's not Muslim." It's a function of a societal prejudice that he adds is "making us less safe."

Pandemic fatigue "is real," says @syramadad, and so is "compassion fade," as 1 in 1,000 Americans die of Covid, and people think, "Well, there's nothing I can do." But, she says, we still must take "the simple preventive measures that we've been talking about from the get-go."

“After dithering, fuming, and -- of course -- golfing,” Trump has finally signed the Covid relief bill. “So, crisis averted, right? Wrong.” @mehdirhasan lays out how POTUS has deepened an economic crisis for millions of Americans at precisely the worst moment. CW: Lots of golf.
