Coronavirus: The numbers
An update on Covid-19 statistics, with Tim Harford.
A lot has changed since our last episode covering the numbers behind the coronavirus - for a start it now has a name, Covid-19. This week news has broken that deaths are 20 per cent higher than thought, and the number of cases has increased by a third. Tim Harford talks to Dr Nathalie MacDermott, a clinical lecturer at King’s College London about what we know – and what we still don’t.
Presenter: Tim Harford
Producer: Anna Meisel
