While 2020 seemingly started like any other decade, by March it was clear that the year was to be like no other in living memory. Efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus resulted in massive changes to work and home life. Places of work closed, the kitchen table became the new office, and parents assumed the additional role of teacher.
