Surprised at all the negative reactions. There is an obvious medical aspect to the crisis, for which we should be getting our advice from qualified sources like the CDC.
The less-frequently discussed aspect is the psychological side. Helping people through the emotional challenges, creating a sense that we are all going through this situation together is important as well. My immediate thought was the Oprah show would help to address this need, and that seems valuable and worthwhile in my opinion.
I don’t know much about Oprah, so I can’t defend her specifically, but this type of programming sounds like potentially a good idea.

How can we mindfully move through a crisis while holding on to ourselves and our humanity?
Ask a Veteran. While everyone does have their own story and all are valid I do think there is a higher probability of learning from Military rather than performers as a general rule.

Patience. The first episode was with a performer. Second episode is with a pastor. Third episode - who knows?
Unless maybe she has it and we don't know it. His announcement didn't address family members, did it?
Bravo! Well said and I completely agree. Hopefully the next generation of K12 students will aspire to be in the medical field as experts, with a solid moral center. Maybe as teachers too.
AppleNews+ alread has daily updates for this crisis to keep all iPhone users educated. Other news outlets and updates even on YouTube already exists (probably the most I’ve ever watched YouTube in my life & ive been checking it here and there before Google purchased it!)
irregardless of your rebuttal ... you fail to realize Oprah is profiting off of this vs donating a dime towards any relief ! She’s also keeping her brand relevant on the suffering of others and playing you and others as blind to seeing this.
Is the medical professional actually a lead in this field?! You’re not commenting on that part yet you watched it. This is critical especially for this move by Apple and Oprah.
either way this program is NOT necessary, governments and regalar news outlets already are providing professional and relevant information. We (everyone) don’t need Oprah’s input nor guidance nor a show about the crises during this crisis. It seems in poor taste and shows she’s got no class!
I think you’re missing this
Can't say I've ever heard of these entertainment (?) "celebrities" but if Apple and talk show diva billionaire Oprah (dear friend of Harvey the Hollywood Rapist!) think I should hear what they are thinking, feeling, suffering, advising during this global pandemic, I will certainly make a small, three minute effort to mock them and the entire premise of this show in this anonymous comment section of a website for rumors related to my favorite tech company.

LOL.. IKR!
This is similar to how people would believe in Greta than scientists who are studying climate change for years.
Plus I will never trust Oprah. She is the biggest Harvey's pimp. She should have been investigated.

It seems "tons of superficial blabla" is what the world is mostly about these days. It was that way long before the pandemic.

While I wouldn't go so far as to compare this to the seasonal flu--I feel like this truly is far worse just because of the lack of immunity all around, I totally agree about the damned news. Their purpose seems more to incite than inform. You just can't say anything unless it screams in 24pt bold face text. :/

How’s this not profiting from the virus? Only official sources Apple. Ring a bell?
A large portion of us Black Americans can't stand Oprah, for many reasons.
Since Oprah brought us the quack Dr. Oz who has been going around spreading nonsense regarding coronavirus, I'll pass.
He is a bit of a hack, but I would not call him a quack---he's got a very impressive resume.
Now Dr. Phil, THAT guy is a quack and Oprah gave him to us after he robbed her lawyers blind as a jury consultant in her cattle lawsuit.
We will watch this---I'm sure the production value is superb.
Hard pass. If I’m going to jump in on a cult of personality any time soon, I think I’d pick someone like Dr. Fauci.
Oprah never really helps anyone. My primary issue with her is that she promotes others that go on to propagate bad information as pseudo-medical advice, who then go on to spread bad information. Some of these guys (Dr. Phi, Dr. Oz) try to sound like pseudo-medical professionals. They are no longer practitioners though, and their advice is often contrary to that of practitioners in their respective fields. Because of this, she deserves the hate she gets when she enters stuff like this. She's not helping anyone. If anything, she tends to do the opposite.
My family and I have had one weird illness for awhile now. It comes and goes like the tide. Just when any one of us feels better, we get knocked back, a little harder each time.
My husband and I are both high risk. There’s different reasons I’d like to know exactly what we are dealing with but I’m too worn out to explain. It’s a moot point anyway. No tests.
Oprah is okay I guess. I’ve only seen her on tv a couple of times. I actually know her better as an actress, lol. I was just wondering how come there doesn’t seem to be a shortage of tests for the celebrities when some ordinary joes have been sick and still can’t get tested.
What? No Oprah hate?
I am disappoint, offended, affronted and trigged ?
PS Dr. Oz is a quack though. Here’s a classic:
