Ellen Pompeo is spreading the love.
The 50-year-old actress, who plays a doctor on "Grey's Anatomy," took to Instagram on Friday to share her support for real-life medical professionals as they work to combat the coronavirus outbreak.
"Many of us have the privilege to self-quarantine and isolate and try to stay healthy, and none of you have that privilege," said Pompeo in a video. "You all have to be on the front lines of this thing and what is certainly bad now, but will most definitely get worse in the next couple of weeks."
