  Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer shares her thoughts on LA's spirit and heartache, the mistakes, threats, and lessons of the pandemic.

Five years after the first reported case of COVID-19 in Los Angeles, the city reflects on the profound impacts of the virus, including isolation, loss, and acts of heroism. The initial case was reported on January 26, 2020, and since then, Los Angeles has experienced over 3.5 million cases and more than 34,000 deaths. The article highlights the personal stories of residents, such as healthcare workers who risked their lives, families who lost loved ones, and individuals who faced prolonged isolation. It also acknowledges the community's resilience and the ongoing efforts to honor those affected, including memorials and continued support for mental health and economic recovery. The piece underscores the lasting changes in social behavior, healthcare practices, and the collective memory of the city.
