Hindsight: N.H.'s Pandemic Year

2020 has been a tough year. As we approach the end, NHPR is checking in with people we spoke with early on in the pandemic to see how they're holding up, and what they’ve learned.

For our series "Hindsight," we're catching up with health care workers, small business owners, educators, and more, to understand how they're continuing to make it through the pandemic - months later.

We also checked in with you.  2020 was a big year for our engagement journalism, and we hope you keep telling us about how you're getting through the pandemic.

2020 has been a more eventful year than any of us could have imagined. And it can be hard to even remember all of the events that took place in the news in light of all of the changes we made in our lives: vacations cancelled, schools closed, jobs lost, holidays spent without family.

As part of NHPR’s year-end series, Hindsight, we asked our audience to tell us how their lives have changed due to COVID-19, what they learned, and what their silver linings have been during what has been a tough year for so many of us.

Peter Biello: So last time we spoke, Angela, we were talking about the first confirmed case of covid-19 in New Hampshire. Now, it's late December. So how has the virus spread through, Nashua?

As we approach the end of a tumultuous year, NHPR is checking in with people we spoke to early on in the pandemic to see how things have changed. It’s part of a series we’re calling “Hindsight.”

Earlier this year, some doctors feared rural areas would be overwhelmed with too many COVID-19 patients and too few resources. In June, we reported on a study that found rural areas of New Hampshire and Vermont were doing better than expected - but things have changed quite a bit since then. Recently NHPR's Peter Biello spoke again with Dartmouth College Professors Elizabeth Carpenter-Song and Anne Sosin.
