As the novel coronavirus spread across the world and into our communities, the immediate effects were devastating and profound. From the staggering number of lives lost, to the many more lives threatened and disrupted, we were thrust into a period of uncertainty and change that continues to this day.
As a community, we responded in extraordinary ways. Teachers became distance learning experts and IT professionals, parents became classroom aides and in-home guidance counselors, frontline workers became first responders, and we were all challenged to find new ways to work together and support each other while physically apart.
That’s what this report is about: Central New Yorkers responding in unprecedented ways to an unprecedented crisis.
