In episode 27 of Inside Covid-19, SA's infections and deaths increase by the most in any 24 hour period as the exponential growth in the virus starts taking hold. We feature a wide ranging interview with Dr Jonny Broomberg, CEO of Vitality Health International, who says the data from all over the world says we’re right to fear Covid-19 and SA’s detailed plans and precautions are no overkill but fully justified; also, more on the way the coronavirus is exposing unsustainable societal fractures; Nobel prize winner Bob Shiller explores the impact of Covid-19 inspired fear on the human psyche; and a look at what Wuhan shows our cities will be like in future. - Alec Hogg Learn more about your ad choices.
