Summary
In part 2 of Clarity, we’re sharing two more stories about the ways the pandemic has brought our lives into sharper focus.
In our first story, comedian Freddy G realizes just how much he relies on his wife’s support when she gets stuck in another state due to COVID-19 restrictions. Our second story is from Trey Kay, host and producer of the Us & Them podcast. In his story, Trey navigates the contrasting pandemic responses in his home of New York and his home state of West Virginia. As always, find photos and transcripts of all of our stories on our website.
Stay tuned for our final episode of the Stories of COVID-19 series, airing on Friday and Monday!
