The year 2020 came as an utter shock to the world. The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 virus pushed everything into an unprecedented condition, upending the normal course of life. However, with vaccines rolling out gradually across many countries, including the United States, we are slowly but steadily regaining the normal pace. Life seems to get back into normalcy after an unbelievably long period of mandatory lockdown and social distancing protocols. However, the part of the reviving process will presumably include more scientific studies on the pandemic and figuring out

Extra Crunch publishes a variety of article types, but how-tos are my favorite category.
