Steps claimed people say they’ve saved 2020 but words are not enough – 12 bittersweet responses

In a year that can genuinely be described as a tragedy, it’s a bold statement.

People were sceptical.

Narrator: The people were wrong. Steps were unable to save 2020. https://t.co/WmfN63SFCN

One Twitter user had a suggestion for how Steps actually could save 2020.

Correct. Play their music, point it towards covid-19 and watch the virus die off. https://t.co/iuCBMEis1k
