BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus conversations: India and Brazil

Bringing together two countries where confirmed cases have passed significant milestones

We bring together two countries where confirmed cases have passed significant milestones. In India, the number of cases officially counted has passed the one million mark. In Brazil, they are now beyond two million cases. We hear accounts from doctors in each country about how they see the outbreak and what happens next.

We find out why protesters have been on the streets of Detroit, Michigan, in support of a teenage girl known as "Grace" - reportedly jailed for violating her probation when she didn't complete her online schoolwork during the coronavirus lockdown.

We get your coronavirus questions answered by Dr Megan Murray from Harvard University and get some advice on how to understand the statistics from our BBC News expert.
