Talk Evidence - Building an evidence base for covid-19
We're taking a break from the usual Talk Evidence to focus on the new corona virus that has emerged in China.
With a brand new disease, we have to build our evidence base from scratch - basic virology, epidemiology, pathogenicity, transmissibility, and ultimately treatment are all unknowns.
In this episode of Talk Evidence, we're trying to get away from the headlines and talk about what we need to know - to hopefully give you some insight into these issues.
(8.00) Peter Openshaw, professor of experimental medicine at Imperial College London, talks to us about the pathogenicity of covid-19

The 2019 Novel Coronavirus Outbreak – Update From NIAID’s Anthony Fauci, MD
In February 2020 the nature of the 2019-nCoV outbreak is still slowly coming into focus but it appears to be acting more like bad pandemic influenza (efficient spread, overall lower mortality) than like SARS (less efficient spread, overall higher mortality). Anthony Fauci, MD, of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) discusses the latest developments with JAMA Editor in Chief Howard Bauchner.
