About Facing the Fallout

For many, 2020 has been the most stressful year in memory. Worries about health, relationships, school, jobs and financial security are just the start of a very long list. Some have a financial cushion and a support system that is helping them weather whatever the universe sends their way. But for others, COVID-19 has been the last straw, pushing them off the edge of a cliff that was looming before 2020, metaphorically or in real life. For this series of stories, Crosscut reporters share the Washington experiences of people staring over the COVID cliff, at work and at home.
