Overall I overestimated the COVID deaths (seems like we’ve been getting better at treating cases – although I did more or less predict the scale of COVID in the US), predicted RBG would die in December instead of September, and preditcted a stock market crash which has not happened yet (I predict this will happen in October). I also expected Congress to pass SOMETHING for unemployment benefits, and I’m frankly surprised by not even a compromise bill.

Otherwise, I think I did pretty well – although somehow I missed out on CA’s fire season … I blame that on writing this while on the east coast :)
