One year into the pandemic, we take stock of the effects this global crisis has had on individuals and society. We talk with an anthropologist and a sociologist about the changes that may alter the way we live in the future. And we ask listeners to offer their input and anecdotes about what they will remember most — and what they have learned during these unforgettable times.
This show is part of Maine Public’s special Deep Dive Coronavirus reporting series.
