March 2022 marks two years since Massachusetts first shut down in the face of COVID-19. Frontline workers risked exposure to the virus every day in hospitals, funeral homes, grocery stores, and schools as they worked to perform essential functions. Policy makers and advisors researched which protocols and vaccines would keep us safe. Businesses and cultural institutions everywhere dealt with unprecedented losses of customers, closures, shortages of workers, and the need to create new protective protocols. These panel discussions reflect on various aspects of the past two years: our different experiences, how we adapted, and what we learned in the face of the pandemic.
