It was unimaginable. A respiratory virus turned global pandemic disrupted every facet of our world. This was something public-health officials had been planning for.

The Atlantic will explore the year that was, the power of the vaccines to stop the spread of the coronavirus, and the potential return to normalcy.
The event will feature deputy editor Ross Andersen and staff writers Derek Thompson, Katherine J. Wu, and Sarah Zhang.
