Do we have the right data on coronavirus?

BBC World Service - Business Daily, Do we have the right data on coronavirus?

Why a cruise ship may provide some of the answers we desperately need.

As we face an economic collapse caused by the global coronavirus outbreak, data becomes more valuable than ever. John Ioannidis, Stanford professor of epidemiology, worries about our lack of hard data about the disease, while Nobel Prize-winning biophysicist Michael Levitt says he may have spotted a ray of hope in all the noise. And economist Vicky Pryce joins the programme live to discuss economic responses to the crisis.
