Several features explore the impact of the pandemic on the Kansas City area and on the people who live here. The feature interview is with Dr. Lee Norman, the Secretary of Kansas Health and Environment, who discusses the politicalization of the pandemic and the search for a vaccine. In "A New Normal," 12 Kansas Citians reflect on how the pandemic has affected their lives. Restaurants and bars are hard hit by the quarantine. "An Industry in Crisis" takes a look at how seven industry leaders tackled it. On the (literally) brighter side, the home feature is a Prairie Village midcentury-modern ranch filled with vibrant color. Departments and columns include beauty, wellness, and fashion, entertaining, expanded arts and culture coverage, recipes and up-to-date info on KC's restaurant and bar scene.
