AL Roker's wife, Deborah Roberts, has opened up about a tragic moment in American History in a new social media post.
Deborah, 62, commentated on the toll that the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic took on people worldwide.
The news reporter shared pics of her behind-the-scenes of her reporting live off the Good Morning America set when the pandemic was in full effect on her Instagram page recently.
A morning show producer who wore a N95 mask - a device used to protect against Covid-19 - adjusted her body mic in one of the snaps on the carousel post.
The ABC anchor was in full glam and a chic on-air outfit, ready to work.
Deborah covered her mouth with her hand and turned her face to the side while her producer fixed her mic.

Other snaps showed her being filmed for a morning show segment from home during the time of the pandemic when most Americans were mandated to work from their home.
There was also a selfie of Deborah sporting a funky patterned face mask that shielded her from exposure to the virus - she held an additional unique-looking mask in her hand.
Her throwback pics were in honor of the Instagram weekly holiday Throwback Thursday, the day of each week when users post old photos to remember specific times of their lives.
In Deborah's caption, she disclosed how the devastating catastrophe impacted social relationships and professional industries.

"Thursday thoughts. Hard to believe just 3 years ago, this was July. Struggling to keep@our distance, live reporting from the street, or at home…only…searching for that chic mask," the TV personality wrote.
"And no sense of FOMO since we were all stranded in similar ways.
"So, I’m wondering…are you much happier at this moment or did you leave something valuable behind?"
'I AM SADDENED'
Many fans responded to Deborah's question with the utmost transparency in her comment section.
"I still wear a mask inside places. I have two health concerns. Hashimotos disease and now asthma!!," one person exclaimed.
"I am saddened by how careless people were and still are!"
Another added: "I hate to admit this, because it makes me a weirdo… but I was very happy 'stuck' at home.
"I realize that there was much hardship and loss for others and I am truly sorry for that!"
A third user divulged: "It just took such a toll on mental health and it escalated addiction!
"Along with all the people that lost their lives and discovering how hateful and self centered people, it was such a depressing time!"
PANDEMIC PART DEUX
Just because the Covid-19 pandemic is over doesn't mean America is no longer susceptible to another pandemic occurring.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, 82, warned of the worst health issues currently facing Americans – and those most at risk if another pandemic hits in June.
He didn't hold back when it comes to the work that needs to be done to improve health nationwide, saying: "We got a lot of problems in this country.”

They spoke of the issues plaguing the country more than three years after the initial height of the Covid-19 pandemic.
