Early COVID Memories

Five years ago this month, the pandemic arrived in New York. The city declared a state of emergency, and began a series of shutdowns. We'll mark this anniversary on the show all week long, and today we want to know: what are your memories of the start of the shutdown? WNYC/Gothamist reporter Arun Venugopal talks about his experiences reporting during this time, and listeners call in to reflect on the beginning of the pandemic.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
