APART + CONNECTED  NYC Deaf Life During the Pandemic

How has life changed during this pandemic for the NYC Deaf community?  When everyone wears face masks, how does that affect interactions?  When is information fully accessible and how can communication be better?  Are there signs that are new, or signs that have taken on new meaning?  Are there ways that Deaf cultural life is uniquely helpful during this time?
