Coronavirus: Conversation with older people

We speak to older people about living under lockdown

A potential consequence of the coronavirus prevention measures has been a sense of isolation for many. At the beginning of the pandemic, we spoke to a group of older people and we return to some of them, almost two months on, to see how they are.

And with the help of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s Disinformation Team, we investigate the hundreds of misleading posts over the past few weeks on social media. We look at who starts and spreads misinformation about coronavirus. And what governments and social media sites are doing to tackle harmful narratives.

Each day on the show, we invite a medical expert to help us understand the key themes of the day about the disease; and to answer the questions we receive from the audience. Today, we are joined by Dr Eleanor Murray, from the Boston University of Public Health.
