COVID-19 research: surface safety, vaccine development, and chloroquine controversy

from Lost in Science

In our first remotely recorded, socially distant episode, we look at some of the research on the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and the disease COVID-19. Claire tells us about a new study into how long the virus lasts in the air and on various surfaces, Stu explains what’s involved in developing a vaccine, and Chris dives into the controversy around possible treatment with chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, and how politics is getting ahead of the science.
