I love the lines

Death was no longer a news but the number of deaths

Alluding to Covid-19's death toll.
I like the positivity in this. It's an optimistic view and ,sometimes, a different angle to look at things always brings hope for the year ahead.
I think that the question mark after ' what a year' should be changed to an exclamation, as it's more of a statement than a question, although I might be wrong. But apart from that, I love the grammar and hope in this, as it brings an exciting perspective to look forward to the year ahead.
