The week in coronavirus
Health workers applaud people who show them gratitude from their balconies and windows as part of an event organized through social media, during a partial lockdown as part of a 15-day state of emergency to combat the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Barcelona, Spain, on March 20, 2020.
Everybody, everywhere is discussing one thing: the coronavirus pandemic. The World’s public health reporter Elana Gordon lays out we’ve learned about the science of the virus this week. And, The World speaks to a bioethicist to clear up several of US President Donald Trump’s false statements on treatments for coronavirus. Also, radio DJs across Europe send a musical message to people across the continent: You’ll Never Walk Alone.
