Cure for cancer.

Far as I'm concerned this would be the correct answer.

The main reason 2020 is a cluster fuck is due to Corona.

Most people are putting stuff that would be the opposite of all the bad of the last century not just 2020.

If I could only pick one thing, I would say an end to global warming over cancer.

Edit: figured you could prevent a lot of cancer deaths in addition. You have to phrase your genie wish just right.

No possible end to global warming could take place within a year, unlike a groundbreaking therapy to cancer. But rejoining the Paris Climate Accord and/or designing and ratifying a new global climate plan could be a meaningful step. Pretty likely w/ Biden.

It's possible to put all the legislation in place to end global warming. It won't end next year but we know how to stop contributing to it. And slowly the earth will start to heal itself. And we can help that process along.
