Coronavirus: Conversation with comedians

Comics discuss how the pandemic has affected their work.

Three comedians from Namibia, Australia and the United States discuss how the pandemic has affected their work - and whether it is ok to laugh about the coronavirus.

Also, as many countries in Europe continue to gradually ease their lockdown restrictions, the UK government has come under criticism by some for the 'lack of clarity' of its plans. We bring together European journalists living in Britain to hear how they are reporting Britain’s pandemic planning to their audiences and readers.

And Dr Eleanor Murray from Boston University School of Public Health answers your questions about the coronavirus.
