This is Francesca, calling for Paris France.

Many out my window are plotting all the hospital workers in France and around the world who are

busting their butts to keep us safe and healthy.

This podcast was recorded at 2.11pm on Wednesday, April 1st.

Things may have changed by the time you hear this, but we'll be clapping and gratitude every night.

OK, here's the show.

I think that's one thing we can all clap at, Scott.

That was pretty life-affirming right there.

Yeah, you know, I have a friend who lives in Manhattan and she sent me video the first night.

They did that in New York City and I did not expect to be moved as much as I was.

I ended up crying watching the video, but it's just, you know, we're all by ourselves in a lot of ways,

but there's so much community happening and moments like that I think have really been meaningful for a lot of people.

I'm gonna use a little feel-good right now.

Hey there, it's the MPR Politics Podcast. I'm Susan Davis. I cover Congress.

I'm Scott Detro and I'm covering the White House.

Say what now, Scott?

Yeah, you know, the primary slowed down a little on the White House beat is a little bit more busy at the moment,

so I'm helping the White House team for a while throughout this coronavirus crisis.

Scott, you are the ultimate Jack of all trades.

Whenever there is a beat that's on fire that needs somebody sent to it,

so is on the case and we appreciate you for it.

I've collected a lot of beats over the years.
