AS January was drawing to a close, typing coronavirus for the first time, I had no idea just how the world was about to change when we reported “a patient was tested in a Glasgow hospital for the deadly coronavirus, which has killed 18 people so far in China”. I would go on to spend most of the year listening to Nicola Sturgeon every day giving updates on coronavirus and then reporting the latest for our readers. But there was other news as well. Community groups would play an increasingly important role in 2020 – though the year began with many in Glasgow facing an uncertain future. They were told they would have a second chance to apply for a new council fund after one in four were refused because the council said they hadn’t filled a form out properly. Many ultimately missed out on vital funds.
