In a few days, we’ll mark exactly one year since the World Health Organization declared the spreading coronavirus outbreak an official pandemic. It was also this month, one year ago, when the first ‘stay at home” order was issued in the U.S.

So today, we discuss whether the worst of this pandemic is finally behind us, what to know about the new variants popping up, and what our guest expert says would be the biggest mistake once we finally get back to “normal” life.

You’ll hear from both an epidemiologist and a sociologist about the past, present and future of the COVID-19 pandemic – one year in.
