The Human Cost of Covid

In the year since the COVID-19 pandemic swept the country, close to 30 million Americans have contracted Coronavirus, many of whom have struggled, and more than 530,000 have died as a result. And those are just the numbers. CNN correspondent Miguel Marquez reports on the impact of those who have been affected by the pandemic. 

Among the millions of stories across the U.S., Marquez highlights a son who left behind his wife and life in New Jersey to care for his ailing, now widowed mother. He also talks to a long-married, once healthy couple who had to adjust to life where one of them might be permanently disabled due to COVID. And a sister haunted by the possibility that she may have been the one who transmitted the virus that killed her younger brother. Dalton, Georgia, is like many other American towns affected by COVID-19, as nearly one in seven have been infected by the virus. These accounts are from one area of America, but they repeat in town-after-town, state-after-state, and coast to coast.

Wild Cards

Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
