Here we go. The coronavirus continues to impact families across the country and definitely right here in the Treasure Valley. I feel like the more that we stay inside the more we seek out ways to connect.

My co-host (Kat Fisher) had to confine herself for 14 days waiting on coronavirus results and our best way to see each other was Instagram. That was our best way to touch listeners and see everyone. I think that's all changing.

I'm not sure if you're aware of Microsoft Zoom which is used a ton of virtual business meetings. This quarantine has opened that platform to chat with friends like Facetime. Well, Facebook found out and they don't like it.

Get ready because this is just the beginning. These platforms are fighting for us, have fun with it.
