During one of the biggest news events in history, one of America's most prominent television journalists is not in the newsroom. Instead, Ann Curry, the former cohost of the

Curry has always been more of a hard-news reporter than a TV personality, and she's used her days at home trying to pinpoint the most verifiable information about the pandemic to disseminate to her 1.5 million followers. It's not exactly the gilded celebrity pedestal she once occupied, but like everything Curry does, it's earnest, honest work. "It's not as if I want to be on TV talking about this stuff," Curry assures me. "But I would love to be involved in making sure the right questions are asked. What is it that we have to do to survive this together? It's better than overeating out of worry."
