In this episode of the daily COVID-19: Seattle podcast, KIRO Radio’s Dave Ross and Aaron Granillo talk to reporter Hanna Scott about a bevy of new studies on the coronavirus, including one that indicates warmer temperatures may help to slow the spread.

The CenturyLink Field Event Center field hospital, rapidly set up and staffed but never opened, is now being packed up and the supplies sent to other states more in need. Why?

Plus, Dr. Anthony Fauci, a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, spoke directly about his recommendations for Washington state on our partner station, KTTH.

Listen to the daily COVID-19: Seattle podcast weekday evenings from 6 – 7 p.m. on KIRO Radio, 97.3 FM. Subscribe to the podcast here.
