The world was forever changed in late 2019, when reports of a mysterious viral pneumonia began to trickle out of Wuhan, China. Rapidly escalating from a cluster of unexplained illnesses to a global pandemic, COVID-19 revealed how vulnerable even the most modern societies can be to a novel pathogen.
