2020 could get even worse.

There's a global locust swarm in existence right now -- the worst in many decades -- and India could suffer from a brutal wave in the coming months.

A 1 sq km swarm in 1 day can eat as much food as 35,000 people.

Pakistan has already declared a national emergency over the locust swarm. Just look at the video.

It has the potential to create food shortages and inflation. The last thing we need in a year where there's already a covid-led economic recession. https://twitter.com/ShahNafisa/status/1255466734712217600
There's a Locust Warning Organisation (LWO) in India's agricultural ministry. I hope they're at the top of their game now.
