Coronavirus conversations: Sceptics

We speak to people who believe Covid-19 and the response to it has been overblown

We continue to bring you conversations happening around the world about coronavirus and the effects it has had on people's lives. Today we talk to two people in the US who believe that Covid-19 exists, but think it's being somehow overblown and that the measures being taken to stop the spread are too restrictive.

Also, in India at least one person has died and hundreds have been hospitalised by an unidentified illness in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh. The patients had a wide range of symptoms from nausea to fits and falling unconscious. We bring you the latest on what we know about the illness.

And every day we invite a health expert to help us understand the latest news about coronavirus and to answer listener questions. Today we are joined by Dr Eleanor Murray, assistant professor of epidemiology at Boston University School of Public Health.
