As the world marks nearly two years since China announced the first death from Covid-19 – a 61-year-old man in Wuhan – on Jan 11, 2020, here’s a look at how our lives have been fundamentally altered by the virus.As the virus marched across the globe, governments ordered citizens to stay inside – forcing billions of people to hastily set up home offices.Even as lockdowns eased, working from home at least some of the time has remained the norm for many.
Online sales rose 38% in the first third of 2021 compared to the same period a year before, according to the Adobe Digital Economy Index. Even as travel picked up following initial lockdowns, chaos remains the norm in airports as passengers line up to show vaccine passes or negative Covid tests. UNESCO, the UN’s culture and education authority, has called the pandemic the worst-ever education crisis.The worst impacts have been in low- and middle-income countries where 53% of children already suffered from a lack of access to schooling.In some parts of the world – including Brazil, Pakistan, India, South Africa and Mexico – a significant drop in math and reading skills has been reported.
