 The close of 2020 is, fittingly, both frightening and full of hope. Global cases of Covid-19 have surpassed 80 million, with the death toll set to reach 2 million early in the new year. Yet the most ambitious vaccine campaign in history is also off to a strong start, with more than 4 million shots already administered. The world has learned so much — thanks to the tireless efforts of doctors, scientists and public-health workers — about the once-mysterious virus. Meanwhile, the pandemic has upended just about everything we knew about technology, medicine, economics and more, in ways we'll still be processing in 2021. Wherever you are, have a happy, healthy new year.
