Singer Adnan Sami on Tuesday shared a video highlighting all the big problems in 2020 including the Australia and Amazon bush fire, Iran-US tensions, and falling economy. Giving it a wry take, Sami shared the video on Twitter after the US oil prices plunged to below a dollar for the first time in history. 

The US crude oil prices fell below $0 as futures in New York ended in negative territory for the first time amid the Coronavirus pandemic.
