What are India’s options in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic? Is staying locked down the best way to pound the curve or is it better to go out and take the virus head-on, and in the process develop herd immunity? What will happen to mortality rates, especially of the senior citizens, if the lockdown is lifted? Does BCG vaccination help fight coronavirus? What have countries like Spain, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand and India done right or wrong? Listen in to renowned epidemiologist Doctor Jayaprakash Muliyil’s most incisive and direct conversation about the science (without the fancy jargons) behind immunity with Network 18’s Kartik Malhotra.
