Olivia Grant (R) hugs her grandmother, Mary Grace Sileo, through a plastic drop cloth hung up on a homemade clothes line during Memorial Day Weekend on May 24, 2020, in Wantagh, New York. It is the first time they have had contact of any kind since the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic lockdown started in late February.

We’re now three years into the COVID-19 pandemic. This hour we look back at the past few years and how we attempt to make sense of them. We’ll talk with the co-director of a COVID-19 oral history project and an author who’s included the pandemic in her latest novel. Plus, we’ll get an update on the state of the virus.

GUESTS: 

  • Dr. Saskia Popescu: Infectious Disease Epidemiologist and an Assistant Professor in the Biodefense Program within the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University 
  • Ryan Hagen: Lecturer in the Department of Sociology at Columbia University and Co-Director of the New York City COVID-19 Oral History Memory and Narrative Archive 
  • Weike Wang: An author whose latest novel is Joan Is Okay
