BBC World Service - More or Less, Glasgow vs Rwanda

Could life expectancy in some parts of Glasgow be worse than in Rwanda?

Tim explores the claim that life expectancy in some parts of Glasgow is worse than Rwanda and could we use smell to diagnose Covid?

Tim explores a shocking claim that life expectancy in some parts of Glasgow is less than it is in Rwanda. But is that fair on Glasgow and for that matter is it fair on Rwanda? And a listener asks whether loss of smell is a strong enough symptom of Covid that it might be used to help diagnose the virus, replacing rapid testing. 

Presenter: Tim Harford
Producer: Chloe Hadjimatheou
