Straight up cancel it. Historians will look back on it like the year zero. Just like it went from 1 BC/BCE to 1 AD/CE, historians will marvel that we went straight from 2019 to 2021.
Yeah, but there was no year zero because zero had not been invented 2020 years ago. It's one explanation for why in some cultures even today babies are 1 on the day they are born.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
