Are immunity passports the golden ticket?

BBC World Service - Business Weekly, Are immunity passports the golden ticket?Search BBC

In this episode of Business Weekly we’ll be looking at the idea of Covid-19 immunity passports. Could they be a Willy Wonka-esque golden ticket that frees the owner from lockdown if they’ve had the disease? Some businesses and governments are certainly hopeful. However, the WHO warns that it doesn’t know how much immunity those who contract coronavirus are left with. Also with Hollywood halted, what will the future of film be after the pandemic? Will we stay happily streaming from our sofas, leaving cinemas obsolete? We’ll also take a look at some of the dubious cures for the coronavirus that have been advertised on social media. None of them work, so why are people taken in? And we look back at the life and times of the King of Gambling, Macau’s Stanley Ho who died this week age 98. Presented by Lucy Burton.
