We bring these daily briefings from the Utah Coronavirus Task Force to you LIVE here on KSL Newsradio. You know that. You listen. 

But, that's not really an option for the deaf and hard of hearing. That's why -- if you've watched any of the briefings on KSL TV -- you've probably noticed two hard-working gentlemen interpreting in American Sign Language....for the Governor.....for the state epidemiologist.....and others. 

It's a much-needed service....and we wanted to chat with one of these guys. Joining us live now is Clay Anderson with the Utah Division of Services for The Deaf and Hard of Hearing....

* Clay, thank you so much for your time and thank you for what you do. 

* You and your colleague Trenton Marsh have been VERY busy lately.....tell us how important it is....the work that you do?

* You are a hearing person....and Trenton is deaf....right? So, when Trenton is in front of the camera during these briefings, you're actually interpreting for him....and then he signs for the people watching at home?

* We've heard so many positive and complimentary comments about your and Trenton's expressiveness during these briefings.......now, facial expression has something to do with grammar in American Sign Language....right? 

* How difficult is it to interpret during such stressful times and with such technical, complicated topics?
