COVID-19

The new coronavirus (Covid-19) has spread to nearly every country in the world since it first emerged in China at the beginning of 2020. More than 4.8 million people are known to be infected and more than 319,000 deaths have been recorded.

With the coronavirus pandemic, people all over the world have become more aware of the best practices during a pandemic, from careful hand-washing to social distancing. Countries across the world declared mandatory staty-at-home measures, followed by closing schools, businesses, and public places. The outcome of the Covid-19 pandemic is impossible to predict, at the time of this writing. But we can learn from pandemics in history to determine our best courses.
