The coronavirus pandemic, and other pandemics before it, has altered the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the globe and drastically impacted the world economy. In what is probably a huge underestimate, by late 2022 there have been over 640 million confirmed infections and almost 7 million deaths worldwide. In the U.S. the Covid-19 epidemic has led to over a million deaths and impacted every major sector of American society (health care, education, commerce, etc.).
