Five years ago , a cluster of people in Wuhan , China , fell sick with a virus never before seen in the world.

It wound up setting off a pandemic that exposed deep inequities in the global health system.

The true origin of the pandemic may not be known for many years — if ever.

A new variant of the coronavirus became dominant in the U.S. in June 2021 .

It caused less severe disease than delta, but on average, the WHO said.

Millions of people remain in limbo with a sometimes disabling, often invisible, legacy of the pandemic called long COVID.
