COVID-19: Concern Over Increase In 'R' Factor
On this episode we review the ripple effects of the 'R' factor, or reproduction rate, of the coronavirus in some states and Union Territories amid concern over a rise in cases. Professor Aditi Hazra, a Genomic Epidemiologist and volunteer with India COVID SOS, joins us on the show to discuss genome sequencing and puts forth her concerns as far as variants and vaccinations are concerned. We also take a look at the surge in Covid cases in some European nations as they move towards easing COVID-19 curbs.
