As the pandemic rages on, community leaders see struggle and hope in the year ahead
Though 2020 has come to a close, the virus that defined it is surging into the new year undefeated and unabated.

In Massachusetts, as the year wound down, the death toll stood at 12,157, one of the highest per capita death tolls in the nation. The state on Thursday reported 359,445 cases for 2020, following a resurgence of the virus in the fall that pushed daily case counts into the thousands and strained hospitals anew.
