    COVID Shutdowns: 5 Years Later

    COVID Lockdowns: A 5-Year Retrospective on Long Beach’s Turning Point In this reflective episode of All in Long Beach, host Stuart Takahara revisits the COVID lockdowns that reshaped our community. Five years later, we explore what went right—and what didn’t—with local responses during those unprecedented days. Hear how businesses, from wine bars to small convenience stores, pivoted amid panic buying, staffing challenges, and sweeping government mandates. Was the prolonged lockdown necessary, or could a more targeted approach have saved our local economy? Join us as we: • Analyze the impact of the lockdowns on daily life and local commerce. • Share personal anecdotes and lessons learned from the early days of the pandemic. • Discuss whether our community’s reaction was an overcorrection or a lifesaving measure. We’d love to hear from you! Share your thoughts and join the discussion in our exclusive Patreon community. Listen now and subscribe for more insightful stories from Long Beach.
