Alaska Public Media's Wesley Early checked with in with some of the Alaskans we heard from in earlier pandemic news stories. He asked how the past two years have shaped them, how they’re adapting — and about their hopes for the future.

Of places to be during a pandemic, taking care of an infant and getting to work from home while that infant is around has been quite the opportunity.
