The Excerpt

Five years on, have people recovered from COVID?


Listen Later

Five years ago this month the COVID-19 virus started ravaging populations, changing life here in America and around the globe. Many shrugged it off initially. It wasn’t until March 9th when the CDC, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, declared it a pandemic. In Quinter, Kansas, a small rural town of about 1,000 and in surrounding Gove County, it devastated the population, killing 1 in 132. That made Gove the deadliest county in the U.S. in December of 2020. Five years on, how have residents recovered, or have they? USA TODAY National Correspondent Trevor Hughes revisits Quinter and shares the lasting impacts in a place that suffered such huge losses.
