Since traffic’s at a minimum right now under Gov. Inslee’s stay-at-home order, I have a new assignment, called the “Coronavirus Medical Update: A Search for the Cure. ”

Join us on KIRO Radio after every local newscast for one minute, on what’s coming out of the medical field while we search for a cure for coronavirus.

We’ll hear about testing, treatments, vaccine trials, and recovery. We’ll hear from local and national doctors, scientists, and virologists. It’s just a part of our coronavirus series, including our coronavirus podcast, hosted by Aaron Granillo and Dave Ross.
