November Story Lab: Notes from a Reluctant Community COVID Expert

Maureen Howard

COVID lays bare our fears and our privilege. It calls out the inequities and injustices of our healthcare system. It lives in our day-to-day interactions in our neighborhoods, our workplaces, our public transit, our friends, our family. Its path follows science. Its global nature defines our common future. Our responses divide us. Living through COVID is our story. Living through COVID in community with those without shelter is our opportunity and our obligation.
