On Jan. 20, 2020, laboratory tests confirmed that man in his 30s who had recently returned from Wuhan, China, was infected with the novel coronavirus, which hadn't yet been named.

In the years since, 1.2 million Americans have died from the virus, and more than 7 million worldwide.

The chaos and fear that would unfold couldn't be foreseen at the time, but they would mark the start of a period marked by uncertainty and public health transformation.

7. Bodies stacked in the hospital hallways.

3. You know who is tne new virus loosed upon us this Jan. 20th.

And it's going to be ugly, chaotic and disorienting on several axes.

Beware and buckle up.
