The world is in the midst of a global COVID-19 pandemic, and the results so far are unlike anything seen in generations. Every day the news is changing and brings new uncertainty and, to some, anxiety and stress.
The list of closures seems to get longer every day. Schools, restaurants, bars, malls, movie theaters. All closed.

The NHL announced that it was temporarily suspending play on March 12 — a decision that feels so much longer ago than just five days.
