As Coronavirus takes hold of the world, this documentary investigates the long-term effects of the outbreak and asks how the deadly Covid-19 is changing Britain and the wider world in the long-term. As the death toll rises, we look at everything from seismic changes in economic policy to shifts in the way we view and treat other people, and from a drop in pollution to the widening of the gaps between rich and poor, young and old and North and South. This film asks what a post-Covid 19 Britain, torn apart by the disease, might look like.

DESCRIPTION
There's a lot of talk about testing at the moment, but some people are getting confused about what coronavirus tests actually are. How are the tests different? What do they do? And why are they important? Josh Toussaint-Strauss speaks with Professor David Smith to answer some of these questions.

In just three months, the coronavirus has turned the world upside down. But how did it play out so quickly? We take a look back to where it all began – from its origins in south east Asia, to its acceleration across Europe and the US. As the infection rate increased and countries went into lockdown, people began to find imaginative and inspiring ways of coping with our new reality.

Where did the new coronavirus originate, how did it spread so fast -- and what's next? Sharing insights from the outbreak, global health expert and TED Fellow Alanna Shaikh traces the spread of COVID-19, discusses why travel restrictions aren't effective and highlights the medical changes needed worldwide to prepare for the next pandemic. "We need to make sure that every country in the world has the capacity to identify new diseases and treat them," she says

As COVID-19 spread from Asia to the Middle East to Europe, why was the US caught so unprepared? Despite repeated warnings of a potent contagion headed our way, America’s leaders failed to prepare and protect us. Why and who is accountable?
