ABC News chief medical correspondent Jennifer Ashton, who has been on the air 'around the clock' covering the spread of the coronavirus, paused to assess just how challenging the outbreak has been to cover

"It has really been challenging on every level," chief medical correspondent Jennifer Ashton told THR.

She said that journalists covering the story, across mediums like broadcast news, have been forced into the "uncomfortable" — but necessary — position of admitting to viewers that they don't know exactly what is happening and how long it will last. "The numbers are elusive, they're ill-defined, they change literally by the hour," she said. "And I think that this is a perfect example of a story that really needs a macro view rather than a micro view."
