Summary The COVID-19 pandemic hit the world quickly following its discovery in late 2019. At the time of this publication, the disease has infected more than 615 million people worldwide and caused more than 6.5 million deaths. The full effects of the pandemic and its impact on history won’t be clear for years, but one thing that is clear now is that things could have been much worse.
