My friend does closed captioning for live TV. In order to type as fast as speaking, they rely heavily on the “auto-complete” function as words are spoken.

COVID with a doctor speaking a pain, because you never know when they’ll rattle off 6 drug names in a row setting the whole process back 30 seconds, which is actually huge.

She’ll also do something like the 5PM Tulsa news, 6PM Chicago news, and a baseball game at 7:30PM in Seattle from her apartment in Vegas.

With a sign language interpreter there, the doctors and other speech writers can talk the interpreter through the technical terms that come up before hand so that it’s an accurate communication.

For the record, i'm not talking about hurricane evacuations which are obviously urgent or even COVID, although we could certainly argue the urgency of the BS being spewed in those press conferences.

I'm talking about the ginger chick at the white house spitting talking points for the press pool every day. Now all the sudden anytime theres a clip from the briefing room theres a split screen for sign language.
