Today is Saturday, March 6, and in just a few days,

we'll hit exactly one year since the World Health Organization

declared the spreading coronavirus outbreak an official pandemic.

It was also this month, one year ago,

when the first stay-at-home order was issued here in the U.S.

So today, we're discussing whether it's now safe

to say the worst of this pandemic is behind us,

what to know about these new variants popping up now.

And what our guest expert says would be the biggest mistake

once we finally get back to normal life.

We start with Dr. Seema Yasman.

She's a public health doctor, epidemiologist,

a former CDC disease detective,

and an Emmy award-winning medical journalist.

She also wrote the book Viral BS, Medical Miss,

and why we fall for them.

Here's our conversation about the past, present,

and future of this COVID-19 pandemic, one year in.

Welcome, welcome to The Newsworthy Special Edition Saturday,

when we sit down with a different expert or celebrity

every Saturday to talk about something in the news.

Don't forget to tune in every Monday through Friday
