Скачать или смотреть Why We Need To Know COVID-19’s Origins: WHO Chief Scientist | In Conversation | Soumya Swaminathan

How did COVID-19 start and why does it matter? Was it a lab leak from a research facility in Wuhan? Some analysts say the world is stuck in a blame game connected to a bitter US-China power rivalry. But scientists are not interested in that at all. They say it is vital to find out how the virus started so that the world can try and prevent a pandemic like this happening again.

Many hope that vaccines will be the way out of crippling lockdowns, but mutations like the Delta variant, which is currently ravaging Asia, seem to be making the situation more deadly. Are all variants more dangerous? And why are some governments already talking about booster shots? Will we always have to wear masks and keep social distancing?

Will life ever go back to normal? In an exclusive interview In Conversation talks to the World Health Organization’s Chief Scientist Dr Soumya Swaminathan about some of the toughest questions the world has ever faced.
