Coronavirus Special
More or Less: Behind the Stats
Weβve dedicated this special episode to the numbers surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic. Statistical national treasure Professor Sir David Spiegelhalter put the risks of Covid-19 into perspective. We ask whether young people are safe from serious illness, or if statistics from hospitalisations in the US show a high proportion of patients are under 50. We try to understand what the ever-tightening restrictions on businesses and movement mean for the UKβs economy, and we take a look at the mystery of coronavirus numbers in Iran.
Presenter: Tim Harford
