COVID-19 Impact on San Diego

This is one of several episodes of the Contracorriente Podcast, a collaborative project between students at High Tech High in San Diego, California, and students from Colegio Monte Tabor y Nazareth in Santiago, Chile. This recording is part of our Underrepresented San Diego series, where San Diego students investigated and learned about marginalized peoples, current events and local and regional history that has not been centered in our experience of our city. This episode, titled Covid-19 Impact on San Diego, hosted by London and Rebecca, focuses on corona viruses's effect on San Diegans. Our essential question was "How has COVID impacted different groups of people differently across San Diego?" In this research, we learned many things, including the industries certain races most commonly work in, how COVID affects areas of poverty, and which communities are impacted the most by the virus. We hope this episode expands the stories of San Diego, past and present, and honors the wide diversity of people and experiences in our city.
