Is the '2020 Effect' Finally Fading? Online Video Sparks Discussion
In a brief video posted online, a resident of an unnamed US community shared their observation of seemingly improved visual clarity in their surroundings. The video, which has garnered significant online attention, suggests a collective feeling among viewers that the world appears more vibrant and less muted, a phenomenon some attribute to the effects of the pandemic. "I've noticed more birds, nature sounds I haven't heard since I was a child and much better sunlight," commented one user, echoing the sentiment of many. While the video lacks scientific basis, its popularity reflects a widespread desire for a return to normalcy. The uptick in positive comments indicates a shared longing for a world perceived as more beautiful and alive.
