BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus conversations: What we've learnt

Five health experts discuss how far we've come in our knowledge of Covid-19

It's nearly six months since reports started to emerge from China of a mysterious pneumonia-like illness. We've been putting your coronavirus questions to several health experts during the pandemic. On this edition, we bring them together to talk about how far we've come in our knowledge of Covid-19 since the virus emerged. What are the key questions already answered? Which important questions remain? How close are we to a vaccine? And what has life been like for an epidemiologist or public health expert over the past few months?

Also - we go to Gutersloh in Germany where an outbreak at a meat processing plant means a new, local lockdown is now in place.

And the church in Atlanta where Rev Martin Luther King Jr once preached will hold a funeral service later for Rayshard Brooks, a black man shot dead by a police officer in a restaurant car park. We'll speak to people in the city.
