2020 will always be remembered as the year of the coronavirus pandemic, which, to date, has infected nearly 20 million Americans and killed more than 340,000, including more than 2,500 Kansans.
It will be the story of 2021 as well, and for many of us, the story of our lifetimes. The deadly virus not only relentlessly dominated headlines for 10 months of the year but also affected virtually every aspect of our community and the way we live our daily lives — how we interact socially, how we work and attend school, how we entertain ourselves, how our local governments operate and how our businesses and the economy function.
