Hey, I'm Kelly McEvers, and this is embedded.

So yeah, the world has totally changed since you last heard from us.

First off, I just want to tell you that in addition to this podcast,

I am now hosting a daily coronavirus podcast for NPR.

It's called coronavirus daily.

We drop it around 5 p.m. Eastern each day.

It's about 10 minutes long, and it's the most important news about the virus each day.

The latest from the scientists, researchers, and policy makers who are trying to solve this.

So subscribe to that to get the most up-to-date news about this thing.

Again, it's called coronavirus daily.

So that's my announcement about that.

Now, I also want to talk about what we're going to do on this show.

What we're going to do is focus on people on the front lines of this crisis.

We're talking to lots of people, and we also would love to hear from you,

or from people you know.

Are you a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider in an ER, or in an ICU?

To go to sleep each night, I need to know, frankly, that I've done everything humanly possible

to keep all of my staff, patients, and visitors safe.

Are you treating people with COVID-19?

Are you separated from your own family?

Worried about what's coming?

Already in the middle of this crisis?
