More or Less - Questioning claims about Covid and children
Download Questioning claims about Covid and children
How likely are children to end up in hospital because of Covid? And how many have died?
We scrutinise some scary stats that have been circulating on social and examine what excess deaths figures tell us about the risks of Covid compared to other illnesses.
Plus, with the gift of hindsight, we examine the joys and sorrows of modelling the spread of the virus. Do MPs understand how false positive rates work? And we unwrap the mystery of the nanomoles.
