Abstract: Abstract The story is still (sadly) fresh in our minds, but let’s start with a brief recap. A fast-spreading global pandemic (COVID-19, a type of respiratory illness) started in late 2019 in a large, populous country that is also a key link for the global economy, the People’s Republic of China. From there, it reached the whole planet in a few months. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency and, on March 11, upgraded the threat to “pandemic” (e.g., a disease outbreak that spreads across countries or continents) status.
