St. Pete 2.0: Adjusting to the new normal after six months of Covid-19 [Survey]

Over the past six months, Covid-19 has changed the way we live, in dramatic ways. Collectively, we have shared the same experience of living through a pandemic, but every one of us has experienced this period in a distinct way. We are all changed, though how we've changed looks different for everyone.

In this edition of St. Pete 2.0, we’re teaming up to help kick off off the Catalyst’s new series The New Normal: Six Months Under Covid. We want to hear from Catalyst readers and members of the Downtown Partnership about how the pandemic has changed them and what their hopes are for the future. When we do finally emerge from Covid, how will the world be different and how can we prepare for and embrace that new reality?
