One year ago, the U.S. took a turn. Coronavirus cases in the country crossed the 1,000 mark and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the disease a global pandemic.
Now, more than half a million Americans are dead, but the vaccines are here, giving many in our country hope.
Today on Cincinnati Edition, we look back at March 11, 2020, how our community prepared for remote learning, and an influx of patients in local hospitals, and we'll see how minority communities have been impacted. Plus, we examine how far we've come.
