We are living through history right now. But how will the story of the pandemic be told in years to come?

Life in 2021 may at the moment feel isolating, frustrating and gloomy, but there is the occasional promise of hope.

It’s not easy. More than 2 million people across the world have now died with COVID-19.

As part of a special series on the Sky News Daily podcast, our home editor Jason Farrell travels around the UK looking at the human impact of the crisis, speaking to real people about the real issues many of us are facing.

In this episode, we focus on young people and education as Jason visits Gateshead and Skegness.
