I'm not convinced this is real.....but it should be dammit!

Looks like Essential Workers, including Medical workers, we're the Readers' choice, but official winners will be announced Dec 10th.

[UpInArms]

who stormed Normandy Beach

[Takket]

9. why are six of them "blued" out like that? Weird

but, excellent choice!

[Brother Buzz]

25. I'm guessing it might be symbolic for the selfless Essential Workers who died doing their job

[FreeState]

29. Nope - it's a screen capture from a video clip

God bless these brave men and women on the frontline's of this pandemic. They deserve to be TIME's Person of The Year 2020! (PA: Image is photoshopped fellow imgurians, I just thought it would be a nice shout out to all the medical workers fighting this virus at the front lines. I saw a moving clip of all these people working hard. What can I say, it stirred me and moved me).

10. Rt.. As they should be!

[MustLoveBeagles]

11. Well deserved

In any other year it might've been George Floyd and Brianna Taylor.

[stillcool]

12. so very deserving...

[patricia92243]

13. why is the bottom row not in color.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Just the graphic design. The top row isn't either.

[slumcamper]

32. Who cares? This question defines "beside the point." n/t

[patricia92243]

35. Who cares? I care. It is not beside the point to the people

and their co-workers and loved ones that they were not highlighted.

[PirateRo]

14. Well deserved

Especially, having to live through attacks from a zombie Republican Party as well as the virus, putting their own lives on the line to protect us.

Bravo!

[a kennedy]

17. Time hasn't named the person of the year yet

This is the cover of the current issue:

[Nevilledog]

19. Just added to OP....won't be a winner announced until Dec 10th

[regnaD kciN]

28. I remember when "The Worst Year Ever"...

...was only the tagline for Esquire's annual "Dubious Achievement Awards" issue. Who knew?

[BobTheSubgenius]

33. I LOVED the Dubious Achievement Awards.

I remember one iteration in which a person that had immigrated to the US from South Africa had found US sand to be unacceptable. Thus, he had sand from the Transvaal shipped to him....for his consumption. He actually ate a shocking amount of it every weed.

But the best part was the title of that particular award:

Good Sand, But Not Great Sand.

[dalton99a]

18. Not until Thursday

[ramblin_dave]

20. Not official yet

Essential workers won the reader poll, but the actual decision won't be until DEc 1o according to this...

[Nevilledog]

21. Added that to OP already

[rurallib]

22. Very much deserved! I had another thought today while I was driving

TIME should devote some of that issue or have a whole different issue to highlight Republican cowardice toward Trump and their (congressional Republicans) gutless response to the Trump virus.

[tymorial]

23. Love you auntie!

[Gothmog]

24. These heroes deserve to be honored

I have no trouble with this selection

[Harker]

26. Trumpsky will be saying they stole it from him. n/t

[FreeState]

27. This is fake (image posted March 31 - link)

The image was posted online in March.

30. Well, it should be retweeted about now maybe.

I don't do Twitter, but I think even Time magazine could not argue that one.

[Gore1FL]

31. I wish this were true because it would mean they got more news coverage.

Time's Person of the Year isn't so much an honor but an observation.

[BobTheSubgenius]

34. This would not be an iota of a surprise to me.

Nor would it be anything but applauded. How can a person not be moved by what they have done?

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

36. Nice! nt
