Yahoo Life and Emmy- and Peabody Award-winning broadcaster Soledad O'Brien have teamed to launch the exclusive digital premiere of her documentary Outbreak: The First Response. O'Brien and her film crew were at ground zero of the COVID-19 pandemic in Seattle earlier this year and they captured dramatic, heart-wrenching footage and personal stories showing the virus's toll on at-risk communities, notably the homeless population and the residents of the nursing home in Kirkland, Wash., that was devastated by the outbreak. The documentary explores the impact of the coronavirus on America’s most vulnerable from the outset.
