- Among the many lessons to come out of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, perhaps the most enduring will be how interconnected it showed the world to be. No one has been left unaffected; all of us know someone who has had the virus or have seen firsthand the tragic toll it can take.
