You Won't Believe This But of All Outlets, KGO's Chip Franklin Most Comprehensive on Coronavirus Status

OF ALL THE VARIOUS BAY AREA MEDIA OUTLETS keeping one covered on the Coronavirus status --and believe me, I've been reading and listening a lot,  and Chip Franklin on KGO Radio  has become the most comprehensive source on the ongoing epidemic.

YES, Chip Franklin.

I'm not saying Franklin is the ultimate nirvana but he knows his audience. He's said to his listeners as much, "I'm reading about this every day. I read a lot. I'm trying to figure this (the virus) out."

And he has and it's a go-to for all of us who want a steady diet of information because everyone else is all over the map including our fearless leader.

Just today, Franklin had on Rick Heller, an infectious disease specialist, who answered questions clearly and concisely and the show was both lucid and informative. There's so much misinformation and outright cluelessness on all this that it's good to hear someone who provides valuable basic information that resonates with the public. Kudos to Franklin for giving airspace to Heller.

I know for many of you its anathema to plug Franklin and yes, there's times when his shtick wears thin, but this subject matter isn't one of those. He's been on target for many weeks now and he deserves credit.

Credit be due.
