It’s easy to forget how many unknowns we faced in the first half of 2020:

• Hoarding toilet paper, basic supplies and antibiotics
• Alcohol wipes and disinfectant shortages
• Crashing stock markets
• Tom Hanks
• Do face masks work?
• Is covid airborne?
• Elective surgery suspensions
• Ground zero in Seattle’s old age homes
• New York City and Italy death rates spiking
• Closed borders
• Chinese disinformation
• Ventilator shortages
• Trump in denial
• Confusing messaging from the WHO
• Conspiracy theories and miracle cures
• Long-tail covid impacts
• Zoom as a verb
• School closures
• Tier 1,2,3,4,5 Lockdown levels

As a global village we’ve come a long way!
