Presidents and pandemics
President Trump has repeated unfounded claims that scientists created Covid-19 in a lab. Rigorous scrutiny of the genetics of the virus reveals no evidence for such a claim.
And Brazil\u2019s President Bolsonaro is at odds with his own health advisors \u2013 splitting public opinion and action over lockdown measures needed to control the virus.
We also look at why Covid -19 seems to be associated with so many different symptoms, from diarrheal infections to complicating kidney disease, to heart attacks
And some potentially good news from HIV research, a new target to stop that virus in its tracks, which might also be useful in the fight against other viruses.
