Shreveport’s 10 Most Clicked Controversies Of 2020
As we wrap up 2020, we have a lot to look back on. With many people calling this past year the hardest year of their life.
The year 2020 will be remembered as a difficult year for many, mainly centered around the COVID-19 pandemic. There are multiple ways the pandemic has influenced lives. From illness to loss of loved ones, to unemployment and lockdowns, the pandemic has touched everyone.
The last few months have brought very few positives (unless of course you're Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, or another billionaire) for the US. The 2020 Presidential election couldn't escape the pandemic either. It became a focal point of the election process, with President Trump even testing positive for COVID-19.
But not all major stories were brought on by COVID-19...
