Stories of the Year: From detection to vaccine, coronavirus

Seldom is a subject such an obvious choice for story of the year.
But unlike 2001’s 9/11 or 2016’s election, the coronavirus story kept happening — day after day after day. Like the virus itself, the story just wouldn’t stop.
It appears it will consume 2021 as well.
From reports of a “new illness” in China in January to the approval and distribution of vaccines in December, the tale of covid-19 is complex. It’s been an incredible, agonizing, frustrating, infuriating, daunting and deadly journey.
Coronavirus’ story actually began in December 2019, when 41 cases were first identified in Wuhan, China. Many researchers believe the virus originated in bats, although further studies are being conducted.
