In this clip, listen as the doctors who first identified COVID-19 recount the story of how they received the first positive COVID test result. They provide a very unique perspective to the pandemic and the urgency of the crisis and they way they and U.S. health departments handled the news of the first positive. From the night that they were on the phone together confirming the positive test to the following day where they had to report their findings, they faced structural obstacles and pitfalls of the public health system.
I remember the rest of that day being a very long day.
