From now until the New Year we’re counting 2020, looking back month by month at the most popular stories that ran in the Almanack.
Coronavirus dominated the headlines (and pretty much all our attention) in May. In fact, since the pandemic began, we’ve posted 171 stories to date tagged “coronavirus.” Here are the top five posts from May (ranked by number of comments made) and three of the five are related to the pandemic:
