Where does Arizona stand as it emerges from COVID?

Two years ago in Arizona, and in most of the world, conditions
were starting to feel apocalyptic.  After sweeping across
China and Europe, the new coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, made
its way to America. The nation was suddenly locked in quarantine.
Grocery store shelves were barren of essentials. Workers were laid
off by the millions. Life as we knew it was upended and no one how
bad it would get or how long it would last. Around this time,
Gov. Doug Ducey took some of his first executive actions on
COVID-19. All elective surgeries were halted to make room in
hospitals for coronavirus patients. Restaurants were
closing but were allowed to start serving alcohol to go.
Two very strange years later, it seems that the worst of the
pandemic is behind us. In this week's episode of The
Gaggle, an Arizona politics podcast, host Yvonne Wingett
Sanchez is joined by two Arizona Republic reporters to help take
stock of it all.  Stephanie Innes covers health and walks
through the timeline from March 2020 to March 2022. Russ Wiles is a
business reporter and he shares how Arizona is surviving
financially and economically compared with the rest of the country.
