0:00.0	Welcome to Nobody Told Me. I'm Laura Owens. And I'm Jan Black. As we all know, our world has been
0:18.1	permanently impacted by the pandemic. And our guest on this episode
0:21.9	has been a knowledgeable and calming voice helping millions of Americans understand what the crisis
0:26.9	has meant to virtually every aspect of our lives. Our guest is ABC News chief medical correspondent,
0:33.1	Dr. Jennifer Ashton, who's appeared on the ABC network at times up to 14 hours a day, from Good
