Disaster Bingo

[Dying Probably 579]

Well, I'm sure you've seen people having "2020 bingo cards" so we may as well capitalize on that idea.

To enter, we'll need 5 disasters you think will happen in 2020.

 

Mine are: 

• Donald Trump wins another election
• Pope Francis dies
• UK Election is announced before 2024 deadline
• Earthquake with more than 8.0 magnitude
• UK second wave of coronavirus

 

Whoever has all of theirs done first wins. Good luck to all.

This is emphatically not a disaster.

I feel like this would all be filed less under "disasters" and more under "fucking awesome", tbh.

1. Second Wave of Coronavirus

2. A new war will start

3. Economic depression suicides

4. UK Gov will keep on not checking 2/3 of people crossing the border for COVID

5. Unimaginable riots from the left when Trump wins his second term

[TQR 14,408]

1) A second wave of Coronavirus, coupled with us crashing out of the EU, sees the UK economy and job market suffer in such a way that makes the Great Depression look like losing loose change down the back of the sofa.

 

2) Donald Trump refuses to accept his election defeat and barricades himself in the White House as a constitutional crisis, borderline civil war, ensues.

 

3) The second wave of Coronavirus kills only 3 times as many people as the first, depriving millions of people of the sweet release of death.

 

4) Jeff Bezos becomes the world’s first trillionaire and buys the collapsed United Kingdom, turns most of it into an Amazon warehouse.

 

5) Keane release a new album.

This would not be disastrous provided none of the tracks provided potential material/self-promotional opportunities for Lily Allen.

1. US Civil War

298. China occupies part of another country

3. Yellowstone eruption

4. Death of senior British Royal

5. UK Government 'postpone' 2021 Scottish and London mayoral elections

None of these doom predictions are going to happen. Total waste of a dead pool game. I am going to give you all 5 positive predictions that I genuinely think will happen. 1) Biden wins the US Presidential

 Election, 2) Relations with China begin to develop into more friendlier diplomacy and less confrontational, 3) Coronavirus subsides all around the globe, 4) UK economy bounces back and growth soars across all sectors and 5) A beautiful white Christmas to enjoy remind us all of the good old days 

[Drewsky1211 4,761]

1. Hurricane Vicky becomes a Category 5 in late September/early October and makes landfall in Mississippi

2. One California wildfire grows so large that it takes a year to contain

3. QAnon becomes a Scientology-like religion somehow

4. Iran nukes Israel and triggers World War III

5. Donald Trump gets infected with COVID-19 at one of his campaign rallies

[arghton 6,771]

1. Some nuclear power plant or army base somewhere explodes by accident

2. Philip, Duke of Edinburgh kills someone. Hopefully by accident.

3. Celebrities becoming vtubers (at this point i've run out of ideas)

4. Third world war

5. David Attenborough dies

I think the concept of either Trump or Biden winning would be tragic. That is unless the Libertarian or Green party have a massive surge in votes.

[Genfærd 452]

Mine may not be realistic, but eh.

 

1. Plane crash with at least 200 deaths where at least 20% are europeans

2. Someone will either attack or attempt to make an attack on President Trump (yes i know, Trump bad, but attacking a sitting president is still a disaster regardless of the person)

3. U.S. declares war on Iran

4. The vaccines in trial 3 will get further delayed (be less effective) and Covid-19 deaths/cases will start to rise drastically during November and December resulting in the "worst christmas" in modern times

5. A noteable royal member will die

[Youth in Asia 1,087]

1. Queen dies

Yes he will not be vastly mourned but Prime Minister dying in office is a difficult constitutional time. Dominic Raab would be effectively in charge of the country while the Conservative party falls in on its self trying to avoid Rishi Sunak getting the job full time.

You know, in the old days, folk would say summat like "PM is dead, who will implement the policies? Will there be a change in direction of the country? Will we have continuity? What will be the impact on the Stock Exchange and the currency markets?"

 

This no longer applies. It's all "Which personality profile will take over?" And that's simply because for thirty years we've had Government without grand vision, without direction. Simply an island with a proud naval tradition, subsumed into a land of navel gazing.

 

Anyway, disaster it ain't, whether left or right.

[Grim Up North 3,727]

1) Prince William dies in a horror helicopter crash

2) We leave the EU with No Deal

3) Covid mutates and the second wave mainly affects the young with a death rate of about 20%.

4) Trump wins the US election

5) A video emerges on YouTube from the Ghislaine Maxwell evidence of Prince Andrew shagging Virginia Giuffre and the sweat is pouring down his back and into his arse crack like the Mississippi river -  everyone feels obliged to watch it but The Queen refuses to denounce him publicly leading to riots in London against the royal family and Buckingham Palace is trashed.

I'll replace the fifth and third one with Norwegian princess Märtha Louise becoming the Queen of the United Kingdom. She's currently the 84th in the line of succession to the British throne which may not seem a lot but she believes that she can communicate with angels and the dead so I mean, it's still a risk
