occurred in Wuhan, People's Republic of China, about 17
November 2019. The first confirmed human case in the United States was on 19

public areas were partially or fully closed in many jurisdictions, and many
events were cancelled or postponed during 2020 and 2021. Telework became much more common for white-collar workers as the
pandemic evolved. Misinformation circulated through social media and
occasionally through mass media, and political tensions intensified. The
pandemic raised issues of racial and geographic discrimination, health
equity, and the balance between public health imperatives and individual
rights.
