Five health experts discuss what might happen next with coronavirus

Five health experts discuss what might happen next with coronavirus.

We play the second part of our conversation with the health experts who have been answering coronavirus questions on OS during the pandemic. Today, they discuss what might happen next and how close we are to defeating the virus. 

And as the top US health official, Anthony Fauci warns of “disturbing” new surges in many states in the US, we focus on one of them, Texas. On Tuesday the state reported, for the first time, more than 5000 new coronavirus cases in a single day. We speak to some Texans about the calls for a renewed lockdown in some cities. 

And we hear about a trial in Germany of another potential medication against Covid-19. Max Planck Institute has been testing sweet wormwood, and we’ll get BBC Health to explain what we know about impact of plant-based medication on various coronaviruses.
