One year ago, the pandemic struck with grave consequences.
To date, the coronavirus has claimed more than 500,000 lives across the country. Iowa has seen more than 5,500 deaths since the pandemic started last spring. COVID-19 has emptied workplaces, sent students home from schools, isolated us in our homes and strained families.

Guests:
- Matt Degner, superintendent, Iowa City Public Schools
- Grant Gerlock, education reporter, Iowa Public Radio
