The year 2020 is an extremely unusual year. The world lost more than one million lives due to the attack of COVID-19. Economic production has been greatly reduced, and daily activities are largely restricted. Luckily the work of Chinese Journal of Traumatology (CJTEE) has not been adversely affected. 2020 is a harvest year for the journal, which (1) was included in the high-quality academic journals by China Association for Science and Technology; (2) cover of each issue is newly designed; (3) submission increased by about 60% with more countries and regions covered; (4) usage in the ScienceDirect exceeded a million; (5) the CiteScore rises to more than 2.0 the first time. This study reviewed the articles published in the year 2020 by CJTEE.

Hospital of PLA. It was downloaded for more than 3000 times within one month after its publication on August. Here we begin this review with it.

It was one hundred years after the last global pandemic. Until now there are 62,363,527 confirmed cases and 1,456,687 death of COVID-19, affecting 220 countries, areas or territories. What is worse, the second outbreak sharply deteriorates the global anti-epidemic situation. Moreover the COVID-19 vaccine is still in process although the phase III trial revealed significant effect. The further influence of COVID-19 epidemic on global economic and politics development, as well as human daily activities, is yet to know and estimate. CJTEE proposed that the most terrifying aspect of COVID-19 lies in its strong transmission, rather than the lethality, which brings a huge burden to the medical service system. Well protection of the medical human resources further strength the medical rescue ability. On the contrary, infection of a medical staff can easily cause cross-infection among medical workers and further deteriorate the collapsing of medical system. The painful lesson of SARS prompt the Chinese government to make the most strict protection measures for possible vulnerable people exposed to 2019-nCoV. It is reported that there is no infection among the more than 40000 medical workers who aided Hubei Province. 1 Unfortunately there are continuous reports on physician death after cross-infection in other countries.

As for the COVID-19, we do not know when it will be the end. But the relationship between human and J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f virus must be coexistence and search a body dynamic balance, rather than extinction. At the times of highly developed technology and medical levels, confirming the infection source and cutting off the transmission route are still the basic and effective ways to prevent and control an epidemic. So we predict that 2019-nCoV may tend to have increased transmissibility but decreased virulence, with more and more asymptomatic infections. 

The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims has just passed away. Road traffic collision (RTC) and trauma care system has always been a focus of CJTEE due to (1) RTC is the 8th leading cause of death and moreover the first killer among children and teenagers aged 5-29 years; (2) the death toll is huge: more than 1.3 million every year which means every 25 second a person died in RTC; and (3) most RTCs are preventable. 3 From the several years of tracking report, CJTEE summarized the condition of road traffic problems as below:

RTCs are closely related to the development of local economics. It is reported that the low-income countries own 1% of the world's vehicles but account for 13% of total RTC deaths; while the high-income countries own 40% of the world's vehicles but only 7% of total deaths. The mortality rate per 100,000 people in 2016 revealed a hierarchical phenomenon, respectively 26.6 in Africa and 9.3 in Europe. 1 The rapid global motorization inevitably brings about the growth of RTCs.
