January
On January 1, Times Square showed us just how far we had come with regard to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The famous New York landmark was filled with New Year’s revelers after being mostly empty one year before. By this point, multiple Covid-19 vaccines had been authorized for use around the world and millions of doses were being administered every day.
But the Omicron variant — the most contagious strain of the coronavirus yet — showed that we were far from being out of the woods. The United States and other countries were experiencing an increase in Covid-19 cases, and many cities chose to scale back their New Year’s celebrations. Some canceled them altogether.

Traffic creeps along a highway near Fredericksburg, Virginia, after being diverted away from a portion of Interstate 95 that was closed because of a winter storm. Thousands of motorists were stranded overnight in a 50-mile stretch between Richmond and Washington. The storm dumped more than a foot of snow in the area, but a big part of the problem was that disabled trucks were blocking lanes, transportation officials said. Many people, lacking food and water, abandoned their vehicles as they waited for traffic to start moving again. Others stayed inside, turning their engines on occasionally for heat and then turning them off to conserve fuel. Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images
US President Joe Biden speaks from the US Capitol's Statuary Hall to mark the one-year anniversary of the Capitol riot. It had been a year since supporters of Donald Trump breached the Capitol, attacking officers and destroying parts of the building in what was a stunning display of insurrection. Biden forcefully called out Trump for attempting to undo American democracy. "For the first time in our history, a president had not just lost an election. He tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power as a violent mob reached the Capitol," Biden said. "But they failed. They failed. And on this day of remembrance, we must make sure that such an attack never, never happens again." Jim Watson/AFP/Getty Images

Tennis star Novak Djokovic departs the Park Hotel in Melbourne after his visa had been canceled by the Australian government on public health and order grounds. Djokovic, the world’s top-ranked men’s player at the time, was looking to make history at this year’s Australian Open, but he was deported by authorities who said he didn’t have a valid exemption for Australia’s vaccination requirements. Djokovic, who has previously voiced opposition to Covid-19 vaccine mandates, was unvaccinated when he arrived in Australia. Loren Elliott/Reuters
People in San Francisco attend a candlelight vigil for Michelle Go, a 40-year-old woman who died after she was pushed onto the tracks of an oncoming train at a subway station in New York City.

While police called her killing a random attack and did not label it a hate crime, it reignited concerns in the Asian American community. US Rep. Grace Meng, a Democrat from New York, noted that the incident came as attacks on Asian New Yorkers “continue to be on the rise.” Stephen Lam/San Francisco Chronicle/Getty Images

February
The Winter Olympics kicked off in Beijing at the beginning of February, providing some breathtaking action and unforgettable moments. Beijing became the first city in history to host both a Winter and a Summer Olympics.
The month ended on a much more somber note. After months of military buildup and brinkmanship, Russia launched an unprecedented military assault on Ukraine. The war continues to this day.
Western democracies have imposed heavy sanctions on Russia and treated the country — and its president, Vladimir Putin — as a pariah on the world stage. They have also bolstered the Ukrainian resistance, providing financial and military aid.

March
The war in Ukraine continued to dominate the headlines in March, with millions of refugees fleeing the country as fighting intensified. Heartbreaking scenes, including the bombing of a maternity hospital, were documented by photographers in the region.
In the United States, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer’s planned retirement opened the door for a historic nominee. President Joe Biden nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to become the first Black woman in history to sit on the high court. She sat for confirmation hearings in March and was confirmed by the Senate in April. Two months later, she was sworn in.
The month ended with one of the most shocking moments in awards show history: Will Smith slapping Chris Rock in the face during the Academy Awards. Smith won the best actor Oscar later that night and apologized to the Academy during a tearful acceptance speech. But he is now banned from the show for the next 10 years.

DeGeneres opened the last hour of the show by discussing the progress that had been made since the series premiered in 2003, noting that she "couldn't say 'gay' on the show" when it started or make a reference to her wife, Portia de Rossi, because gay marriage wasn't legal. There was no mention in the final episode of any of the controversy that dogged the show in recent years, including reports of a toxic culture that prompted DeGeneres to issue an apology to her staff in 2020.
