And now, finally, the finish line is in sight.
A year that started like any other quickly took a turn into chaos and uncertainty:
• The coronavirus killed hundreds of thousands of Americans.
• Shutdowns brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged the economy, leaving tens of thousands of Illinoisans out of work.

Along the way, face masks, social distancing, working from home, nose swabs, e-learning, drive-thru graduations/funerals/birthdays/etc. and Zoom meetings all became part of the “new normal.”
