Remembering those lost to Covid-19

We continue to play messages sent to us from around the world, as people share their favourite story of a loved one who has died due to the coronavirus. Today we hear tributes to medical professionals and also memories from the United States.

Our medical expert, to explain the day’s coronavirus developments, is Dr Maria Sundaram from Toronto. We discuss vaccine trials, after one at Oxford University was paused due to a volunteer becoming ill with a suspected adverse reaction.

We also hear about the people who were living on Greece’s largest migrant camp, on the island of Lesbos. A number of fires have destroyed it.

And we are reaching out to fans of the Kardashians to dicuss the social impact of their TV show. Kim Kardashian West posted that after 14 years the reality show is coming to an end.
